COOKING WITH GAS

Lowes.com/masterfor

a. Hand Assembly:

1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” positions.

2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large

plastic nut clockwise until it stops.

3. Gas will not flow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.

4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.

b. Hand Disassembly:

1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” positions.

2. Turn the large plastic nut counter-clockwise until it is disassembled.

3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.

c. Excess Flow Control and Low Heat

The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to supply the

grill with sufficient gas flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.

Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device providing a low flame and low

temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open,

the surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the

pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.

To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.

2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.

3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting instructions.

d. Temperature-Activated Shut-Off

The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination with a check valve

in the tank valve to shut off the flow of gas when exposed to temperatures between

240-300° F.

In the event of a fire or hose break, one of the safeguards will function to control or stop the

flow of gas from the propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.

Important: Before the use of a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage around the

connections according to section ‘Checking Gas Leaks’ , and make sure there is no

leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet. Make sure all openings around side

walls are not blocked.

Important: 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.
