L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Gas ovens 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 oven
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 oven. L.P. cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
Connecting a Liquid Propane Gas Tank to the Grill:
1. Make sure the tank valve is in the OFF position.
2. Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper external mating threads to fit the hose and regulator
assembly provided (Type 1 connection per ANS Z21.89b-2012).
3. 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.
4. Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.

10
5. Connect the hose and regulator assembly to the tank valve .Hand-tighten the quick coupling nut
clockwise to a full stop (as below shown).
DO NOT use a wrench to tighten because it could damage the quick coupling nut and result
in a hazardous condition.
6. Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to light your oven. See “Pre-Operation Leak
Testing". If a leak is found, turn the Tank Valve off and do not use your oven until the leak is
repaired.
CAUTION:
Gas tank must be place vertically. It is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas tank is not vertical.

11
WARNING: The Type I connective coupling (see Fig. 7) supplied with your oven
must not be replaced with a different type of oven/tank connection system. Removal
will result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, fire and severe bodily harm.

Disconnecting a Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) Tank from Your Oven:
1. Turn the burner knob and LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to
close.)
2. Detach the hose and regulator assembly from the LP gas tank valve by turning the quick
coupling nut counterclockwise.
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply
tank.
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

12
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 oven. If there
is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the oven
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.
PRE-OPERATION LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the oven are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during
WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or
near the oven. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.

13
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, and
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 oven any time
a part of the gas system is replaced.
Note: 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 oven 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.
WARNING: Do not use the oven in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area.
Never operate the oven in enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup,
which could result in injury or death. Place the oven on a level surface. Avoid moving the
oven while it is in operation.
