2.4.3 FILLING:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN
OPTIONAL L.P. GAS CYLINDER
WAS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
BARBEQUE, IT HAS BEEN
SHIPPED EMPTY. THE CYLINDER
MUST BE PURGED OF AIR AND
FILLED PRIOR TO USING ON
YOUR BARBEQUE. WHEN GET-

injury may occur.
2.4.4 LP Cylinder exchange
Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylin-
der through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies
that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder
only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the “LP Cylinder”
section of this manual.
transit or storage.
2.5 Hose & Regulator
PROPANE GAS MODELS:
Your barbeque is designed to operate on L.P. (propane) gas at a pressure
regulated at 2.74 kPa (11” water column). A regulator preset to this pressure is
supplied with the barbeque and MUST be used.
This regulator is equipped with the Q.C.C. Type 1, quick connect coupling system,
which incorporates the following safety features: (Figure 7)
150°C (240 and 300°F)
of gas to 0.28 cubic metres per hour (10 cubic feet per hour)
Prior to attaching the propane cylinder to the hose and regulator, be sure the
cylinder valve and the appliance valves are OFF. The cylinder valve is turned off by
rotating the handwheel (see Figure 4) clockwise (left to right) until it stops and
all appliance valves should be in the twelve o’clock position. When attaching the
regulator to the cylinder, make sure that the small probe in the nipple is centered
in the mating Q.C.C. 1 cylinder valve (see Figure 7). Turn the right hand threaded
Q.C.C.1 black nut onto the valve in a clockwise motion until there is a positive
stop.
DO NOT USE A WRENCH, HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
Should the large black thermally sensitive coupling nut be exposed to tempera-
tures above 115 - 150°C, it will soften and allow the regulator probe to disen-
gage from the cylinder valve – thereby shutting off the flow of gas. Should this
occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the entire regulator assembly,
and replace it with a new one.
The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and cor-
rected before operating your barbeque again. The regulator probe also contains
a flow-sensing element, which will limit the flow of gas to the regulator to a
manageable amount (0.28 cubic metres/hour) in the event of a hose or regulator
rupture. If it is evident that the flow control device has been activated, the cause
of the excessive flow should be determined and corrected before using your
barbeque again.
