LP GAS CYLINDER PLACEMENT:
Cylinders must be installed according to assembly instructions. Install the gas cylinder into the tank hole
inside of the Jackson Pedestal.
LP GAS CYLINDER:
QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling
Your grill is designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped with the new QCC-1 Quick Closing
Coupling system. The QCC-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the Canadian Standards
Steering Committee and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.
A thermal element will shut off flow of gas between 240
degrees and 300 degrees F. When activated, a flow-limiting
device will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill. Be
sure to purchase one with the QCC valve. The external threads on
the inlet port of the valve recognize this valve. QCC equipped
cylinders are available from your gas grill dealer. Any attempt to
connect the regulator, by use of adapters or any other means, to any other valve could result in
damage or fire, and may negate the important safety features designed into the QCC-1 system.
SPECIFICATIONS:
All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be constructed and marked with the specifications for LP
cylinders in accordance with the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC)
1. or the US Department of Transport (DOT) for use in the USA.
2. The LP gas cylinder used for this appliance must not have a capacity larger than 20 lb. (9 kg):
approximately 18” (46cm) high & 12” (30cm) diameter.
3. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance should be inspected at every filling and re-qualified by a
licensed service outlet at the expiry date (10 years) in accordance with DOT (USA) and CTC (Canada)
codes for LP gas cylinders.
4. All LP gas cylinders used with the appliance must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in a
cylinder valve outlet No. 510, specified in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and
Inlet Connections (USA) ANSI / CGA-V-11977 (Canada) CSA B96.
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The cylinder must also include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve. As well, the cylinder valve must include a safety relief device having direct
communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

5
HANDLING:
1. Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas cylinders. You must take your new cylinder to an LP
gas dealer for filling.
2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always handle with care and transport in the upright
position. Protect the valve from accidental damage.
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the regulator. Fasten the cylinder securely during
transport, use and storage.
4. If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and
have it checked before using it again.
STORAGE:
1. Store the LP gas cylinders outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinders in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion.
3. If you intend to store your grill indoors, disconnect and remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected
cylinders must have plugs installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area.
4. Keep out of reach of small children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the LP gas cylinder must be stored outside in a
well-ventilated area.
6. Keep the ventilation openings for the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
OPERATION:
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP cylinder without the regulator provided, and never to an
unregulated gas supply. The gas regulator supplied with the appliance must be used.
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the
appliance. See “leak testing”.
3. Do not operate the appliance if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish all flame and determine the
source of LP gas before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the LP gas leak has been found
and sealed.
4. Always shut off the LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is not in use.

6
OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER:
Effective January 1, 1998, the standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN CGA-1.6, requires that
appliances are to be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention
Device (OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane
cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw
propane. The new OPD causes a slower purge / fill operation. Some
consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are
“defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be
aware of this new device and its effects on the purge / fill operation.
IDENTIFICATION:
To identify these cylinders, the new OPD hand wheel has been standardized
to the shape shown.
HOSE AND REGULATOR:
1. The QCC coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting Device which will limit the flow of gas should there
be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is
opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder
valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.
2. The QCC coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the
QCC cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240 degrees and 300 degrees F.
Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the hose / regulator assembly and
replace with a new one.
The pressure regulator is set at 11” (water column) and is for use with LP
3. gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or
substitutions should be attempted.
4. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including
the base of the grill.
5. Inspect the seal in the QCC cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year, which
ever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases or abr
6. Inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If the hose is cracked, cut, damaged or abraded in
any way, the appliance must not be operated.
7. For repair or replacement of hose / regulator assembly, contact your dealer or approved service center.
CONNECTION:
1. Be sure the cylinder valve and appliance valves are “off”.
2. Place full LP gas cylinder on tank ring bracket.
3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place.
Using the other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until
there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten
only. When making the connection, hold the regulator in a straight line with the cylinder valve, so
as not to cross thread the connection.

7
4. Leak test the connection. See “leak test”.
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the
Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open the cylinder
valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow
Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn off
cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to
allow the device to reset, open cylinder valve slowly,
then open the appliance valve.

Operating The Rear Burner
When operating the Rear Burner please ensure that the Warming Rack is REMOVED. The Warming Rack will
become damaged if NOT removed while the Rear Infrared Burner is in use.
The rear burner is specially designed to be used with the Rotisserie Kit, and should ONLY be used when
using the Rotisserie Kit.
MAIN BURNER USE
When searing foods, preheating is recommended by operating all main burners in the HI position with the lid
closed for approximately 10 minutes.
Cooking with the lid closed will ensure a more even temperature that will reduce cooking time and cook more
evenly.
Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit
opposite the food placement).
When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before cooking to
prevent sticking.
Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create flare-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce temperatures
to prevent this. Should a flare up occur, move the food away from the flames, reduce heat and leave the lid open.

4. Remove burners by lifting up and out of firebox on an angle. Repeat for all burners.
5. Clean the outside of the burners with a Brass Bristle wire brush and make sure all gas ports are clear.
Use a straight coat hanger to clear any obstructions.
6. Use a flashlight to look into the venturi end of the burner to check for blockages. If necessary, use a
straight coat hanger to clear any obstructions.
7. Inspect and clean the venturi end of the burner by removing the venturi set screw on the end of the
burner and removing the venturi shutter. Once removed, make sure the burner is thoroughly cleaned and
the venturi shutter is re-installed with an opening of 1/8” for Natural Gas and ¼” for Propane. (NOTE:
ensure that the venturi set screw is tight after setting the correct air shutter opening.
8. Re-install and secure burner.
9. Re-mount flame tamers and cooking grids.
10. Light each burner to ensure they are operating correctly.
Note: When installing burners, it is very important to center the burner over the gas orifice. You should look
under the main control panel with a flashlight once installed to make sure they are in the proper position.
Failure to clean and install burners correctly could result in fire or explosion.

FOOD SAFETY TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
We want to enjoy healthy and safe grill cooking, so here are some tips for basic barbecue hygiene:
Bacteria are living organisms that grow and multiply rapidly in warm moist foods. Marinate meat in the refrigerator
and take it out one half hour before grilling, if you want to grill your prepared meat at room temperature.
A marinade should never be saved for a later day. If you want to use this marinade to serve with your meat please
bring the marinade top a boil before using.
Professional grilling requires HIGH heat to brown and sear the meat to seal in the juices. Most foods will be cooked
on “HI” setting through the entire cooking time. Some large cuts of meat may require the heat be turned down after
initial browning to ensure the cut is cooked without burning the outside. Also foods that need to be cooked for a
long time or foods that have been basted in a sugary marinade may need to be cooked slower and longer in order
to stop the cut from being burnt on the outside.
Before grilling, check to be sure the drip tray is in place. Light the grill according to the lighting instructions. Turn the
control knobs to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Place the food to be grilled on the
cooking grids until desired doneness, adjust the heat setting if necessary. A meat thermometer is helpful in
determining hoe long the food should be cooked. Cooking time is affected by shape and type of cut as well as
thickness.
To achieve the juiciest meats, use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, and only turn the meat once
during cooking. Turn the meat just when the juices begin to bubble to the surface. Add seasoning or salt only after
the cooking has been completed, add sauces only at the end of the cooking time, this will prevent the sauce from
being burnt.
Trim excess fat from the meats prior to grilling, this will help prevent flare-ups. Cutting the fat at 2 inch intervals will
prevent the cuts from shrinking during the grilling time.
ROTISSERIE COOKING:
NOTE: Always remove the Warming Rack before using the Rear Burner for Rotisserie Cooking.
To place the meat or poultry on the spit, slide one of the forks onto the spit and secure the Thumb screw. Then,
insert the spit rod in the center of the meat or poultry, lengthwise. The food should then be centered on the spit rod
and the remaining fork and secure the Thumb screw. Place the spit rod in the grill and let the heavy side fall to the
bottom, set the counter balance to the top and fasten in place. Periodically check the meat to ensure the spit rod is
turning smoothly while cooking. Adjust the counter balance if necessary.
The only accurate way to tell when the meat is done is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the
center of the meat. Do not allow the thermometer to touch a bone as this will not give an accurate reading on the
meat thermometer.
Remove the Cooking Grids and place a drip pan on top of the upper flavor shields and position the pan directly
beneath the food on the spit rod. Depending on the flavor you desire, place liquid in the pan such as, water, juices
or wine, chop up onions or add garlic, As the juices fall from the meat they will mix with the liquid and evaporate
directly into the meat, this will prevent you from basting as this is a self-basting system.
Do not let the drip tray dry out.
