Holland Grill APEX BH421-SS5LPB Instruction Manual - page 5
A-2
Natural Sas supply valve or the LP gas cylinder is the primary valve and
must be closed when the grill is not in use. The On position is when the
handle is in line with the burner (see figure 6 for details. See lighting
instructions for more information.) The burner valve controls the heat
allowed in the grill by means of a plug orifice. This device is set at the
factory and must not be tampered with or replaced. Turn off main gas
supply when using Natural Gas when appliance is not in use. Turn off LP
supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
ONLY A FACTORY SUPPLIED VALVE SHOULD BE USED. (See the
parts list for replacement items.)
PROPANE FUEL: (Where applicable) Warning – propane is a flamma-
ble gas. Improper handling may result in an explosion and/or fire and
serious accident or injury. Your grill can be safely operated on Propane
(LP) gas ONLY after it is equipped with the proper orifice for this gas.
Caution: Do not connect this grill to any gas supply except propane or
natural gas. Propane gas is heavier than air and will settle in low areas.
Make certain adequate ventilation is available when using your grill and
that the gas cylinder is stored outside in a well ventilated area out of the
reach of children when the grill is not in use.
LP GAS CYLINDER: This grill is designed and intended to be used with
an LP gas cylinder with a nominal LP gas capacity of 20 pounds. Such a
cylinder is approximately 12-3/8" in diameter with an overall height of 18-
1/16". The Holland Grill does not come with an LP gas cylinder. This
must be purchased separately and is available at most hardware stores.
The cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) (4BA-240) and the National Standard of Canada
CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the transportation of
dangerous goods. Only a cylinder equipped with an overfill protection
device (OPD) should be used.
The LP gas cylinder shall be used only outdoors in a well ventilated
space and not in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. The LP
gas cylinder is designed to be used, stored, and transported in the
upright position. The Holland Grill may be stored indoors if the LP gas
cylinder is removed and stored outdoors. NEVER turn the cylinder
upside down or on its side. Always transport, store and use your cylinder
in the upright position. 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.
The cylinder must be provided with a Sherwood valve, part
#PV3349, which will connect with (quick connect) the QCC-1 Fitting pro-
vided on each of our LP (propane) grills. Must also have a safety relief
device having a direct communication with the vapor space of the cylin-
der. The cylinder supply system must be mounted vertically for proper
vapor withdrawal. The cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylin-
der valve. The grill must be connected to the gas supply by a hose. Turn
off LP supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
DO NOT transport a full or empty gas cylinder in a closed automobile
trunk or in a closed passenger area.
Filling the gas cylinder requires removing it from the grill. The cylinder is
attached to the grill by connecting the regulator assembly to the outlet
portion of the gas cylinder valve. This connection is made by the QCC-1
fitting pictured in Figure 1. The large plastic nut fits on the outside of
the threads and turns right, or clockwise to tighten. No tools are
necessary. Hand tight is sufficient. If a good connection is not
achieved, the safety valve inside will not permit the proper amount
of gas to flow. When connecting the regulator to the cylinder valve,
be sure the pressure relief valve is directed away from the front and
away from the grill. If the relief valve should open, the propane will
be directed where it is likely to do the least harm. To disconnect reg-
ulator assembly turn large plastic nut left or counter-clockwise.
When disconnecting and connecting the gas cylinder, be careful
that the regulator assembly does not strike the grill, the ground, or
any other surface. If any difficulty at all is had in connecting or dis-
connecting the regulator assembly to the cylinder valve, contact
your local gas supplier for assistance.
When disconnected from the cylinder, a valve cap must be installed.
(See figure 1.) Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylin-
der valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types
of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. Failure to install
a valve cap when the cylinder is disconnected from the fuel system
is dangerous and may result in accident or injury.
When re-connecting the LP gas cylinder, be sure to tighten the
fitting until snug. This connection, as well as all other fittings and
connections between the cylinder and burner valve, should be
inspected for damage and leak tested after every filling or
re-connection.
Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from
any heated surface.
Never allow anyone to change orifice size without
authorization from factory
.
SPARK IGNITER: This grill is equipped with a rotary Piezo igniter
system. A simple Clockwise rotation of the igniter knob produces a
spark at the burner head, lighting the burner. To check that the
spark igniter is working properly, leave gas supply turned OFF and
observe the spark by looking through the peep hole above the con-
trol panel or from below the control panel to the left side of the burn-
er in the burner opening. A small blue spark should be visible at the
left side of the burner head every time the igniter “fires”. A loud
“hammer” like sound is produced by the mechanism when sparking.
