5. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor cooking gas appliance must be
used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the outdoor
cooking gas appliance manufacturer. The regulator and hose assembly (see below) supplied
with this outdoor gas appliance (LP models only) must be used without alteration. Original and
replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer for
connection with a cylinder connecting device identified as Type I by the ANSI Z21.58/CGA 1.6.
Contact your Hestan dealer for genuine replacement regulator P/N 014309.
6. The LP gas cylinder valve must be equipped with a cylinder connection coupling device, described
as Type I in the standard defined in paragraph 5 above. This device is commonly known as an
ACME thread quick coupler.
7. If the LP gas cylinder is provided with a dust cap, place dust cap on the 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.

To connect: Bring the hand nut on the regulator over the ACME thread fitting on the cylinder valve.
Turn the hand nut clockwise to engage the threads and tighten until snug. The use of pliers or a
wrench should not be necessary. Only cylinders marked “propane” or “LP Gas” may be used.
To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counter-clockwise until detached (see image above).
Important: Before using the unit, and after each time the cylinder is removed and reattached, check
the hose for wear (see paragraph 1 above) and check all connections for leaks as detailed in the LEAK
TESTING section of this manual. Repair any leaks before lighting the unit.
CAUTION
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance. 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. Do not store
a full cylinder in direct sunlight.
Always turn the LP gas cylinder main valve off after each use, and before moving the unit and cylinder
or disconnecting the coupling. This valve must remain closed and the cylinder disconnected while the
appliance is not in use, even though the gas flow is stopped by a safety feature when the coupler is
disconnected.
Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before the gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose
must be replaced immediately.
