Read and follow the LP TANK instructions before/while using this appliance. Failure to follow these warnings could result in fire or explosion causing damages to property, injury, or death.

• The safety release valve on the LP tank could lead to gas leakage and cause a severe fire and increase the risk of serious injury or death. If the steps below are not followed exactly, a fire causing personal injury or death can occur.
• NEVER store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
• NEVER fill the cylinder over 80 percent full.
• If you smell, see, or hear leaking gas, IMMEDIATELY move away from the LP tank and contact your FIRE DEPARTMENT.

LP TANK REMOVAL, TRANSPORT, AND STORAGE:

• Turn the control knobs OFF at the regulator and LP tank valve.
  Turn coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only.
  NEVER use tools to disconnect.

• Place dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet when the cylinder is not in use.
  HINT: 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 could cause leakage.

• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must fitted with a safety cap installed.
  NEVER leave the LP tank in a car that can become overheated by the sun.

• LP tanks must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed space.

• Do not smoke when transporting your LP cylinder.

L.P. TANK REQUIREMENT
The LP tank must meet the following requirements in order to be used with your appliance:

• Adented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your L.P. supplier.
  Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.

• Measurements must be 12″ (30.5 cm) in diameter by 18″ (45.7 cm) high with 20 Ib. (9.1 kg) maximum capacity.

• The LP gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada (CAN/CSA-B339), Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

• QCC Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or appliance.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
  This safety device is identified as the triangular hand wheel. Only use tanks equipped with this type of valve.

• LP tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar that protects the LP tank valve.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP):

• LP gas is odorless, non-toxic, and colorless when produced. For your safety, LP gas has been given an artificial odor (similar to rotten eggs) so you can smell if there is any leakage.
• LP gas is highly flammable and can unexpectedly ignite when combined with the air.

The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright, secure position.
LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Inspect the Tank

• Leak test must be repeated each time the LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
• Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber seal for damage or debris. If damaged, return tank to local retailer.
• DO NOT smoke or have anything nearby that can easily ignite, such as lighters or matches.
• DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• The appliance must be leak checked outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.

REMOVE any pots or other cookware from the burner before beginning the test. CONNECTING REGULATOR TO LP TANK:

1. Place the LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.

2. Turn control knob to the “OFF” position.

3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning the hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.

4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve.
   HINT: Always use the cap and strap supplied with the valve. DO NOT use a POL transport plug. It will defeat the safety feature of the valve.

5. Hold the regulator, insert the nipple into the LP tank valve. Hand tighten the coupling nut while holding the regulator in a straight line with the LP tank valve s0 as not to cross thread the connection.

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check.
   HINT: An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete.

NOTE: If you cannot complete the connection, repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, DO NOT use this regulator.

Once the LP tank is properly installed, it is necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the tank. The fuel system in your appliance features factory- made connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
Recommends performing a thorough leak check after assembly, as well as annually. The following fittings should be tested:

• Where the regulator connects to the tank.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.

Leak Testing
Note: Remove all packaging, including straps, before using the appliance

1. Wet fittings with a soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.

2. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF” position, and turn on the gas supply.

3. Check all connections from the LP gas regulator and supply valve up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the bumers).
   Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.

4. If aleak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.

5. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
   Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact customer service.

6. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
   Turn gas supply off at the tank and rinse connections with water.

• Hose is a trip hazard. Do not walk between cooker and cylinder.
  Disconnecting Regulator to the LP Tank

  1. Turn the burner valves off.
  2. Tumn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
  3. Tum the coupling nut counterclockwise to loosen the connector. Loosen by hand only. Do not use tools.
  4. When disconnected, the regulator should be hung on the hook attached to the appliance.

  • Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking gas may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

  • Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper or trailer or motor home.

  • The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be the one used.
    Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer.

  • Do not use the appliance until leak checked.

  • If leak is detected at any time, STOP.

  • If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close the
    LP tank valve, move away from the appliance, and call the LP gas supplier or the fire department!

  • Turn off the gas supply cylinder when not in use.

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak.
IMMEDIATELY turn off the LP tank valve.
If bubbles continue presenting, IMMEDIATELY move away from the LP tank and contact the FIRE DEPARTMENT (e.g. 911).

The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Turning LP Cooker Off
Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Hose Check
Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hose assembly before using appliance. Use only valve/ hose / regulator specified by manufacturer. See product sheet for hose & regulator information.
Cleaning and Maintenance
