COMPANION GRILL OWNERS MANUAL
THE FUEL SYSTEM
Gas grills are used SAFELY by millions of people when following simple SAFETY precautions as outlined in the Safety Information
section. The items in the fuel system are designed for operation with The Holland Grill ONLY. They must NOT be replaced with any
other brand or altered in any way. Maintain proper operation of your grill and continued
warranty coverage by using ONLY genuine Holland replacement parts. See Replacement Parts List in back of manual.
GAS BURNER: The gas burner is constructed of tubular stainless steel and should not require maintenance other than inspection
for insects/nests inside the air intake slots. If you remove the burner for cleaning, it must be re-installed
exactly as removed.
BURNER GAS VALVE: The burner gas control is actually a gas regulator and valve assembly. One of two different types of control
may be supplied on this model. They are interchangeable and operate the same, although they look slightly different. Operation is very
similar and illustrated in greater detail in Control Operations Overview. The regulator attaches directly into the end of the burner, which
extends out of the right end of the grill body. The 1-pound LP cylinder threads into the regulator portion of the gas control assembly.
See the Controls Operation Overview for an understanding of the gas valve operating positions.
ONLY A FACTORY SUPPLIED GAS VALVE/REGULATOR SHOULD BE USED. See the Parts List for replacement items. Similar
devices from other products must NOT be used, will void the warranty and MAY be dangerous.
LP GAS REGULATOR CAUTION
The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance MUST be used. This regulator is equipped with the required gas orifice and is
set to the correct gas pressure and flow FOR THIS APPLIANCE ONLY. The combination of orifice size and gas pressure regulation
provides for cooking performance intended by The Holland Company, Inc. Substitution of
regulator by any other device or any other manufacturer may be dangerous and could result in injury. See parts list for replacement
parts – contact The Holland Company, Inc.
LP GAS REGULATOR INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
The gas pressure regulator is shipped loose and must be installed prior to operation of your grill. This is a “slip-fit”
requiring no tools. The regulator may be removed from the grill after use. To remove, turn the gas control know to the “OFF” position
and allow the grill to cool for at least 30 minutes. After the grill has cooled for 30 minutes, remove LP cylinder. Next, rotate the regula-
tor assembly in the burner until it “unlocks” from the pin/groove. Care should be taken to store the regulator in a clean, secure location
when the grill is not in use. The threaded cylinder connection area should be clean and free of any dust, dirt or foreign materials.
Clean both the regulator and LP cylinder threaded areas prior to connecting cylinder to regulator.
PROPANE FUEL
WARNING – propane is a flammable gas. Improper handling of LP gas/fuel MAY result in explosion and/or fire leading to possible
accident or serious injury. Your grill is designed to operate on Propane (LP) ONLY and is equipped with the proper gas orifice for this
gas from the factory.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THIS GRILL TO ANY GAS SUPPLY OTHER THAN PROPANE 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 LP 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 a disposable LP gas cylinder with a nominal gas capacity
of 1 pound. Such a cylinder is approximately 4” in diameter and 7” long. 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 accor-
dance with the specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) DOT-39 NRC232/290 M1110.
The LP GAS CYLINDER shall be used only OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area and NOT in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area. The Holland Grill may be stored indoors, if the LP gas cylinder is removed and stored outdoors.
CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING 1-POUND CYLINDER
The 1-pound LP gas cylinder is provided with a threaded connection for attachment directly to the regulator supplied with this appli-
ance. Care should be taken when threading the LP cylinder to the regulator to engage threads correctly to achieve the proper and
intended connection. When disconnecting or connecting the gas cylinder, be careful that the regulator or gas cylinder does not strike
the grill, the ground or any other surface
DO NOT transport a full or empty gas cylinder in a closed automobile trunk or in a closed passenger area.
AREA OF USE: Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surface.
NATURAL GAS: The Holland Companion Grill is not designed for use with Natural Gas.
