COOKING WITH GAS

a. Hand Assembly:

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

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 ow 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” position.

2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.

3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.

c. Excess Flow Control and Low Heat:

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

grill with sufcient gas ow under normal conditions yet control excess gas ow.

Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess ow device providing a low ame and low

temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas ow 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 difculty 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 ow of gas when exposed to temperatures between

240-300° F.

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

ow 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.
