CONNECTING THE GRILL TO A PROPANE CYLINDER:
1. Make sure tank valve is in its full off position (turn clockwise to stop).
2. Check tank valve to ensure that is equipped with external (male) threads (i.e. QCC-1 type connecter).
3. Make sure all burner knobs are in their off position.
4. Remove the protective dust cap from the cylinder valve. Always reuse dust cap when storing a cylinder.
5. Inspect valve connection port and regulator; look for any damage or debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never
attempt to use damaged or plugged cylinders. Contact your local propane gas dealer for repair.
6. When connecting the regulator to the valve, hand-tighten the black plastic Quick Coupling Connecter (QCC)
nut clockwise to a positive stop. Do not use a wrench to tighten as this may damage the nut and cause leaks.
7. Open tank valve SLOWLY (counterclockwise) until fully open. Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before lighting grill. If a leak is found DO NOT use the grill. Turn gas off and call a
professional gas fitter to repair the leak.
DISCONNECTING PROPANE CYLINDER:
1. Turn all the grill knobs to off.
2. Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3. Detach the regulator from tank valve by turning the Quick Coupling Connecter (QCC) nut counterclockwise.
4. Install the protective cap back onto the threads of the propane cylinder valve.
