L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Gas grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator
assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill
or a replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly specified by the manufacturer). This
assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 9 kg (20 lb.) L.P. cylinder. L.P. cylinders are
not included with the grill. L.P. cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
Connecting a Liquid Propane Gas Tank to the
Grill:
1. Open the doors of the cabinet. Place a 9 kg (20
Ib.) tank with foot ring into the tank tray. See Fig. 4.
Make sure the tank valve is in the OFF position.
2. Tighten the retention screw beside the tank tray
to secure the tank. See Fig. 5.
3. Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper
external mating threads to fit the hose and
regulator assembly provided (Type 1 connection
per ANSI Z21.58b-2002).
4. Inspect the valve connection port of the
regulator assembly. Look for damage or
debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for
damage. Never use damaged or plugged
equipment.

16
5. Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
6. Connect the hose and regulator assembly to the tank valve (See Fig. 6). Hand-tighten
the quick coupling nut clockwise to a full stop.
DO NOT use a wrench to tighten because it could damage the quick coupling nut and result
in a hazardous condition.
7. Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to light your grill. See “Pre-Operation Leak Testing"
on page 26. If a leak is found, turn the Tank Valve off and do not use your grill until the leak
is repaired.
As shown in Fig. 7a, gas tank must be place vertically. It is unsafe to operate the grill if the
gas tank is not vertical as shown in Fig. 7b.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device
shuts off the flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential
for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder
outlet specified, as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas
cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill
protection device and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2)
complete turns to ensure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a
leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly,
it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak,
causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow and causing low flames.
Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being
used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should
refill the L.P. tank.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve
outlet whenever the cylinder is not in
use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is
provided with the cylinder valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in
leakage of propane.
WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or
near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80%
full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.

19
PRE-OPERATION LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during
shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the
smell of gas is detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs.
6. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise two (2) rotations to open.
7. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles
appear, there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak
is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on,
and repeat steps 1-3.
8. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
9. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then
turn the control knobs back off.
10. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is
connected to the regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a
part of the gas system is replaced.
It is also recommended that you perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the
L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected.
WARNING When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose
connections. A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame or hazardous condition.
Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the
tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may
significantly reduce the gas flow, making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company. If
necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended replacement part.
A slight leak could cause a fire.
