LP Tank
USE AND INSTALLATION OF LP GAS CYLINDER (PROPANE TANK)
BEFORE INSTALLING:
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV
Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.
BEFORE EVERY USE:
Make sure to inspect the hose for leaks, cuts, wear, abrasion, or damage of any sort before using this appliance. If any
damage is apparent, the hose must be replaced with a new hose specified by the manufacturer before further use.
LP GAS CYLINDER
The LP (liquid propane) cylinder specifically designed to be used with this unit MUST have a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity
with a Q.C.C. Type 1 cylinder valve and an overfilling protection device (OPD). Only use LP cylinders with this type
of valve.

Contact us: 1-855-803-9313
LP CYLINDER VALVE REQUIREMENT:
•Purchase LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12” (30.5 cm)
(diameter) x 18” (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity maximum.
•Q.C.C. Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or appliance.
•Safety relief valve.
•UL-listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified
by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only tanks equipped with this type of valve.
•LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The LP cylinder must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for
LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or
the National Standard of Canada CAN/CSA – B339, Cylinder, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission of
Dangerous Goods; as applicable.
•The LP cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
•If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be
turned o at the supply cylinder(s).
•The LP cylinder must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children
and MUST NOT be stored in a building, garage, shed, breezeway, or any
other enclosed space.
•Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible
ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.
•The cylinder should ALWAYS be put in an upright position.

DANGER:
•DO NOT connect this appliance to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with left-hand threads.
The Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve outlet.
•DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding its capacity.
•DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.
•Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill. This could cause pressure to be expelled
through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal injury, including death.
•Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from obstructions
and debris.
•DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the valve outlet could result.
A damaged valve outlet can cause a leak, possibly resulting in explosions, fire, severe bodily harm,
or death.

LP Tank
WARNING:
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER
•Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP cylinder.
•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
•Always use a safety cap when the grill is not connected to a cylinder.
•If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has a Type 1
valve and an over-fill prevention device (OPD).

CONNECTION PROCEDURES
1. Make sure the cylinder valve is closed (turn valve clockwise until tight).
2. Check the cylinder valve to ensure it has the proper external male threads.
3. Make sure all burner valves are turned OFF.
4. Inspect valve connections, port, and regulator assembly. Look for any
damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect the hose for damage. Never
attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. Contact your local LP
gas dealer for repair.
5. When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, hand tighten the
quick coupling nut clockwise to a complete stop. Do not use a wrench to
tighten. Use of a wrench may damage the quick coupling nut and result in
a hazardous condition.
6. Open the cylinder valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water
solution to check all connections for leaks (a Leak Test) before
attempting to light the appliance (see P.18). If a leak is found, turn
the cylinder valve o and do not use the appliance until your LP gas dealer
can make repairs.
TO DISCONNECT THE LP CYLINDER:
1. Turn the burner valve o.
2. Turn the cylinder valve o fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
CAUTION:
•When installing LP cylinders, the pressure regulator and hose supplied by the manufacturer MUST
be used with the appropriate cylinder. Replacement regulators and hoses need to be specified by
the manufacturer of this appliance.
•Place the dust cap on the 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. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Leak Testing
Product no. 085-3250-4 (TF2201804-MC) |
Contact us: 1-855-803-9313
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check
must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being
applied to the unit.
Periodically check the entire system for leaks following the procedures listed below. Before using your appliance you must
check for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the appliance.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the
solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP cylinder is full.
WARNING:
•DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST.
•NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
•If it is evident that there is excessive abrasion, wear or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to
the appliance being put into operation. The replacement hose must be specified by the
manufacturer.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valve is in the OFF position then turn
on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the gas cylinder, LP gas regulator
and supply valve up to and including all connections to the
pipe that go to the burner. The following are the points where
the soap-water mixture is to be applied. Soap bubbles will
appear if a leak is present.
A. Supply tank (cylinder) weld.
B. Tank valve to cylinder.
C. Tank valve knob.
D. Regulator coupling nut to tank valve.
E. Regulator to regulator coupling nut.
F. Regulator connections to gas supply hoses.
G. The full length of gas supply hose.
H. Burner valve stem cap.
I. Hose connection to burner valve.
J. The full length of corrugated tube.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn o the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Should gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn o the gas supply and contact the customer service department.

MATCH-LIGHTING
Swing the match hole cover to expose the match
lighting hole. Place lit match into the match lighting
hole of the appliance as shown below. Make sure lit
match is placed inside the hole and near the burner.
Push in and turn the control knob slowly all the way
to “ON”. Make sure that the burner lights and stays
lit. Once lit, swing the match hole cover back to its
original position. Caution: Cover may be hot.

BURNER FLAME CHECK
Light burner then rotate regulator knob from HIGH to LOW. You should see a
smaller flame in the LOW position than in HIGH. Always check flame prior to
each use. The air damper mounted on the back of your burner helps to control
the amount of primary air that mixes with the LP gas. A blue flame with little
or no yellow flame provides the best heat. Adjust the air damper by turning it
clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired flame is achieved.
