PROPANE GAS CYLINDER
SPECIFICATION
•All propane gas cylinders used with this appliance must be constructed and marked with the
specifications for LP Gas Cylinders in accordance with the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) for
use in Canada, or the U.S. Department of Transport (DOT) for use in the USA. Cylinders shall have a
collar to protect the cylinder valve.
•All propane gas cylinders used with this appliance must be inspected at every filling and re-qualified
by a licensed service outlet at the expiry date (10 years), in accordance with the DOT (USA) and CTC
(Canada) codes for Propane Gas Cylinders.
•All propane gas cylinders used with this appliance must be equipped with a shutoff valve terminating
in a cylinder valve outlet No 510, specified in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet
and Inlet Connection (USA) AINSI/CGA-V-1-1977 (Canada) CSA B96.
•Recommended vapour propane cylinder sizes: 30 – 100 lbs. (BBQ bracket will support up to 30 LBS cylinder)
•The outdoor grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than ½ psi (3.5Kpa).
HANDLING
•Government regulations prohibit shipping full propane gas cylinders. You must take your new
cylinder to a propane gas dealer for filling.
•A filled propane gas cylinder is under high pressure. Always handle carefully and transport in the
upright position and keep the area well ventilated. Protect the valve from accidental damage.
•Do not tip the propane gas cylinder while connecting it to the regulator. Fasten the cylinder securely
during transport, use and storage.
•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 again.
STORAGE
•Store the propane gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
•Do not store the propane gas cylinder in direct sun, near a source of heat or combustion.
•If you intend to store the grill indoors, disconnect and remove the propane gas cylinder first.
•Disconnected cylinders must have plugs installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
•Keep out of the reach of children.
•When the propane gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the gas grill and propane gas cylinder must
be stored outside in a well ventilated place.
OPERATION
•Never connect your gas grill to a propane gas cylinder without the regulator provided, and NEVER
CONNECT TO AN UNREGULATED LP GAS SUPPLY. The gas regulator supplied with the
appliance must be used.
•Avoid damage to the valve on the propane gas cylinder. The valve has a Left-hand thread. Turn the
POL fitting counterclockwise to connect it to the valve, and clockwise to disconnect it.
•Always leak test the propane gas cylinder to regulator connection when connecting the propane gas
cylinder to the appliance. Use a soap and water solution, never an open flame.
•Do not operate appliance if the smell of propane gas is present. Extinguish all flame and determine
source of propane gas before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the propane gas leak has
been found and sealed.
•Always shut off the propane gas cylinder valve when the appliance is not in use.

HOSE & REGULATOR
•The hose and regulator assembly supplied with your gas barbecue is specifically designed for your
model. No modifications, additions or substitutions should be attempted.
•The pressure regulator is factory set at an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column (W.C.).
•Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the
base of the barbecue.
•Inspect the hose periodically, when replacing propane gas cylinder. If the hose is cracked, cut or
damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated.
•For repair or replacement of regulator/hose assembly, contact your dealer or approved service centre.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
To ensure safe and efficient performance, this appliance should be inspected and cleaned at least once per
year or after any period of storage exceeding one month.
•Burners (see Figure 1a) may be removed and inspected for cracks and deterioration.
•Venturis (see Figure 1b) should be cleaned out using a bottlebrush to eliminate any blockage, insect
webs or debris.
•The hose should be inspected. See “Gas Supply Hose”.
•After reconnecting the hose, leak test as per “Leak Testing”.
•Burners should produce a uniform and stable blue flame from each flame port. Some traces of yellow
flame are considered normal.
•To clean interior, remove cooking grids (see Figure 2) and flavour plates (see Figure 3). Ensure that
burners do not fill with water during cleaning. Hard deposits can be removed with a non-metallic
brush and surfaces washed with soap and water.
•Exterior Finish - use a degreasing solution to clean, rinse surfaces thoroughly and use a stainless steel
polish to restore the finish.
•If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burners, or control valves, do not attempt repair. See
your dealer or approved service centre for repairs or replacement parts.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Cooking Grids and Flavour Plates:
After you have finished cooking, prepare for the next meal by burning off any residue of food from the
cooking grids and flavour plates in the following manner:
•Remove all food from the grids and turn all the control knobs to the HIGH position. Leave for five (5)
to ten (10) minutes or until the smoking stops. Turn the gas valve off, then turn the control knobs off.
•Use a non-metallic brush or scrubber to clean the cooking grills -remember the barbecue may still be
hot.
•You do not have to wash the grills after each cooking, but if you wish, use a suitable degreasing soap,
then rinse thoroughly. Do not use an oven cleaner.
•For a thorough cleaning, wait until the barbecue is cold and remove the cooking grills for washing in
a suitable degreasing solution. The flavour plates may be removed and washed in a similar manner.
•The stainless drip pans may be removed and washed with the same degreasing solution.
•The grease tray is provided with a drain valve (see Figures 4a and 4b) that must be kept clean to
ensure proper operation. During periods of prolonged cooking a suitable heat proof container may be
used to catch drippings.

LEAK TESTING
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested for gas leaks and the burners have been flame
tested. However, shipping and handling may have loosened the gas fittings.
As a safety precaution:
•Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas barbecue.
•Test the cylinder valve for leaks each time the cylinder is filled.
•Test for leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
•DO NOT SMOKE!
•Never test for leaks with a lighted match or open flame.
•Test for leaks outdoors.
•Apply a soap and water solution and watch for signs of bubbling (possible leaks).
TO TEST FOR LEAKS
•Insert regulator adapter fitting into the tank valve and tighten by rotating QCC1 in a clockwise
direction. Tighten until fitting is threaded fully into cylinder “shutoff” valve with hand-wheel.
•Check that appliance is turned off at the controls for each burner. Extinguish any open flame or
cigarettes in the area.
•Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
•With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder all the way.
•Brush the soap solution on each connection between the orifice and cylinder valve.
•A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
•If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder “shut-off” valve and tighten the QCC1 fitting and retest
again with the soap solution.
•If the leak persists, contact your barbecue dealer for assistance. DO NOT attempt to operate the
appliance if a leak is present.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure all burner knobs are in the OFF position. Connect the hose assembly to the propane gas
cylinder. Check all connections and hoses for leaks with a soap and water solution.
2. CAUTION: If hood is being used, open before attempting to light the grill.
3. Turn the “red” crossover ignition burner control knob (see Figure 5) to the HI position. Allow 3-5
seconds for propane gas to flow into the burner, and then press the igniter button several times to
light the burner.
If the burner fails to light with the igniter button after several attempts, turn the gas off, and wait five
(5) minutes. Turn on the gas and use long reach butane lighter or long match to light through the
ignition hole located on the right hand side of the grill body (see Figure 5).
4. Once the crossover burner is lit, any main burner may be lit by simply turning the control knob for
each burner to the HI position.

5. Pre-Heating your BBQ - because our BBQ’s have such high BTUs, it is important that the
operator only have the Main Gas Valves on the HIGH position for 10 minutes maximum. If the
operator doesn’t follow these instructions, he/she may cause permanent damage to the BBQ and
will not be warranted by the manufacturer

QCC1 CONNECTION NOTICE
All barbeques manufactured today are equipped with QCC1 connectors that are pressure sensitive. To
ensure trouble free lighting, please follow these easy steps:
1. All control knobs must be in the OFF
position.
2. SLOWLY open valve on propane cylinder to
allow fuel to reach the appliance.
1. Follow lighting instructions above.
2. If the barbeque does not light or reach
operating temperature within 5 to 10 minutes,
the QCC1 valve may have restricted the flow
of fuel. If this occurs, it will be necessary to
turn the control valves OFF and disconnect
the cylinder to allow the QCC1 valve to reset
itself.
3. Reconnect the propane cylinder and repeat
step 1.
.
SHUT-DOWN
1. Close the propane cylinder valve and allow burners to burn any remaining gas in the line and manifold.
