PROPANE MODELS:

Correct LP Gas Tank Use

LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) tank, not included with grill box. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas tank to use. A Propane tank with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) must be used. This safety feature prevents the tank from being over-filled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill.

The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in

accordance with specifications of the U.S. Dpt. of

Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LP gas tank must meet the Canadian Transportation and Communications (CTC) specifications. Also be sure to read and follow all LP instructions on the following page.

If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.

(a) Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance; (b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and (c) If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct communication with the vapor space of the tank.

2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.

3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.

Only use the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by manufacture.

Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane gas dealer and visually inspected and re-qualified at each filling.

Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full. Have your propane gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure that it remains free of defects.

Always keep LP gas tanks in an upright position.

Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must NOT be stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of this or any other gas grill.

Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.

LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

When your gas grill is not in use the gas must be turned off at the LP gas tank.

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.

Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks, excessive wear or other damage. If the hose appears damaged do not use the gas grill. Call our service

excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help call the Customer Service Helpline for assistance.

When connecting a built-in unit to the natural gas supply in your home, please ensure the pipe joint compound is resistant to the action of natural gas. In addition, please observe the following:

The barbecue and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

The barbecue must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system

at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa)

The units are supplied from the factory equipped for

use with natural gas and includes a natural gas regulator.

If operation with propane gas is desired, you must purchase a Propane Model. In addition, a Propane Gas Regulator MUST be installed in the gas supply line from the propane gas tank.

Please remember to check all gas connections for

leaks after the piping is completed. Follow the procedure under the heading "CAUTION: LEAK CHECKING."
�� CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes.

This type of fire is known as a ”FLASHBACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ”FLASHBACK”, it is the most common cause.

To reduce the chance of ”FLASHBACK”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65- WARNING The Burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

Gas Connections

Check gas type - use only the type of gas indicated in the rating plate.

LP Gas vapor is heavier than air and SERIOUS INJURY from a DANGEROUS EXPLOSION could occur if LP Gas is allowed to accumulate in an enclosure and then ignited. Both the Barbecue enclosure and LP cylinder enclosure require venting

that must be provided at the floor level of the enclosure to allow any leaking LP Gas vapor to escape. Upper & lower ground level

vents (20 sq. in. minimum each) MUST BE PROVIDED on both sides of built-in construction. Please ask a Barbeques Galore associate for full details.

in an island, the propane tank must be in a separate enclosure that is completely isolated from the barbecue. It must be cross ventilated in accordance with the current standard. The propane tank MUST NEVER be installed directly under the barbecue.

Please see your local dealer for service and parts replacement:

handled soft brass bristle brush and brush off

the cooking grills. Then turn off gas at the

Propane tank or main valve.

�� Use a mitt to turn off tank valve, it can get hot.

�� Cook with hood down when possible. It is generally

faster and more efficient. Trapped

smoke adds to the flavor.

�� Turn the gas off promptly should you be

unable to light the grill immediately. Wait a full

5 minutes before attempting to light grill again.

�� Have proper tools, tongs, mittens and hot pads

ready prior to removing foods.

�� Trim excess fats from meats to minimize flareups.
