**OPD Equipped Cylinder

**

OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE

The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances be used with cylinders equipped with an Overﬁll Prevention Device (OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overﬁlling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/ﬁll operation. Some consumers have been advised by ﬁlling stations that these cylinders are “defective.” This is not a defect. Some propane ﬁlling stations may not be aware of this device and its effect on the purge/ﬁll operation.
New OPDs coming onto the market have technology that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.

IDENTIFICATION
To identify these cylinders, the OPD handwheel has been standardized to the shape shown.

Hose & Regulator

All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
The QCC® coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting Device which will limit the ﬂow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.
The QCC® coupling incorporates a heat-sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC® cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240° and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the hand wheel. Remove the hose/regulator assembly and replace with a new one.
The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modiﬁcations or substitutions should be attempted.
Protect the hose from dripping grease and keep the fuel supply hose away from any heated surface(s), including the base casting of the barbecue.
Inspect the seal in the QCC® cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases, or abrasion.
Inspect and clean the hose before each use. If the hose is cracked, cut, abraded, or damaged in any way, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly (see page “component list”), contact our support team.

CONNECTION

Be sure cylinder valve and appliance valves are “OFF.”
Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place. Using your other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten only. When making the connection, hold the regulator parallel to the cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the connection.
Leak test connections. See “Leak Testing.” (page 6)
Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open the cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn off cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open the cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.

DISCONNECTION
Always close LP cylinder valve and remove the coupling nut before moving the cylinder from the speciﬁed operation position.

Leak Testing
All factory-made connections have been rigorously tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas ﬁtting.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Test all ﬁttings for leaks before using your appliance.
Test for leaks every time you connect a gas ﬁtting.
Do not smoke at any time while testing.
Never test for leaks with a lit match or open ﬂame.
Test for leaks outdoors.
Test LP cylinder valve for leaks each time the cylinder is ﬁlled.
If a leak persists, contact your gas appliance dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate appliance if a leak is present.

LEAK TEST WITH AN LP CYLINDER
To test for leaks between the LP Cylinder and Gas Valve

Extinguish any open ﬂame or cigarettes in the area.
Be sure that cylinder and appliance valves are “OFF.”
Connect LP gas cylinder. See “Hose and Regulator.”
Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
Brush the soap solution on each connection.
With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.
A leak is identiﬁed by a ﬂow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder “shut-off” valve, tighten the connection and retest.

LEAK TESTING ON NATURAL GAS
To test for leaks between the Natural Gas Supply and Gas Valve

Extinguish any open ﬂame or cigarettes in the area.

WARNING : The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the appliance.

TIPPING HAZARD:

Place the gas cylinder in the appropriate secure and ﬁxed position to avoid overturns and accidents.
First Time Use: Before cooking with your gas appliance for the ﬁrst time, burn it off (see page 7) to rid it of any odors or foreign matter in the following manner:
Preheating: Preheat the appliance on MEDIUM/HIGH with the door closed for ten minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for your application.
Door Position: The position of the door during operation is a matter of personal preference, but the appliance cooks faster, uses less fuel, and controls the temperature best with the door closed. A closed door also imparts a smokier ﬂavor, and is essential for smoking and convection cooking.

Shutdown:

Turn off the cylinder valve/main gas supply.
Turn control knobs to “OFF.”

Maintenance

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned (as necessary) before every usage of your gas appliance to ensure optimal performance, safety and efﬁciency.

General Cleaning
Perform a Burnout (see below). When the appliance is cool, clean the interior of the appliance if necessary by scraping the bottom of the cooking plane and vacuuming.

Burn-Off
Ignite the burners as per “Lighting” (page 6). Operate the gas appliance on HIGH with the door closed for 10 min. or until the smoking stops. Turn the gas source off then turn the control knobs to OFF.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to ensure optimal performance, safety and efﬁciency.

Burner
Remove the burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration. Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner to eliminate any blockages. See “Venturi Tubes.” While the burner is removed, clean the interior of the appliance by scraping the bottom of the cooking plane and vacuuming.

Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. For propane see “Hose and Regulator.” (Page 4)

Oriﬁce
Inspect the oriﬁce to make sure it is not blocked, misaligned, or loose.

Stainless Steel
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner to polish and remove stains or marks. Extreme heat can cause the color to change. This discoloration is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Replacement Parts
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, or approved service center, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use only original replacement parts.

Saputo Stone Information

Saputo Stones are exclusively available to you as an optional upgrade with the purchase of this oven. They have the unique ability to cook pizza using the true Neapolitan method at 806°F – 896°F (430°C – 480° C) in the Fontana without burning the bottom of the dough.
Saputo stones are handmade by Italian artisans in Naples using methods and techniques that have been used for generations. Using the local clay, each stone begins its life by being hand-formed into wooden molds. The clay forms are then air dried allowing the clay to release a speciﬁc amount of moisture before ﬁring. Once dried, the forms are carefully loaded into a wood ﬁred kiln. The kiln is ﬁred to a speciﬁc temperature, and the artisans stay with the kiln for several days to maintain the kiln temperature. Once the ﬁring process is complete, the stones are removed and ready for use.

Maintenance

The Saputo stones are made using a material & process that produces a softer stone, as result, they are quite fragile. Treat them with care when moving them in and out of the oven.
To clean Saputo stones, we recommend using a brass bristled brush, while the stones are still warm, to gently remove any excess food particles. It is safe to periodically clean the stones, while they are cold, with a slightly damp cloth to remove any food debris or residue. Make sure the stones are completely dry before ﬁring them up to temperature again. Any residual moisture absorbed into the stone that is quickly heated could result in thermal shock that could potentially crack the stone. Never use any cleaning solutions or liquids to clean your stones.

Troubleshooting
Because these stones are handmade, there is the rare instance you may run into a slight unevenness in your cooking ﬂoor surface. If one stone is lower than another, we recommend placing a small amount of sand underneath the lower stone to help raise that stone and even out the cooking ﬂoor surface. This is common practice with traditional ceramic masonry ovens that works well in this scenario as well. Unfortunately, we cannot replace stones that have small chips in them. Because these stones are handmade, air dried & then kiln dried, it quite often results in imperfections and chipping along the edges. Chipping does not alter the performance of the stone or oven and, therefore is not considered a defect. If a customer ﬁnds chipping on the stone bothersome, we recommend rotating the stone when possible, to achieve the
smoothest surface or touching up the edge with sandpaper.

Replacing Stones
When swapping out Standard stones for Saputo Stones, the ﬁrst Standard stone can be removed by using a ﬂat head screwdriver to pry up the ﬁrst stone. The subsequent Standard stones can be removed by hand. When placing the Saputo stones in your oven, place each stone in the oven with the smooth side facing up. It is important to make sure you have the long side of each stone oriented as is depicted in your oven’s diagram. If the stones are not oriented as shown, the stones will not ﬁt inside the oven.
