QCC Hand-Wheel Safety Feature
For 9Kg LPG Cylinder Only
The QCC hand-wheel (the knob that attaches the gas hose
assembly to the 9kg LPG cylinder) has a safety feature
called an Excess Flow Valve
included that restricts gas flow
in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this
safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs
when you turn on the gas using the barbecue control knob
before you turn on the gas cylinder valve or if the LPG
cylinder valve is opened too quickly. If the safety feature
activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced output
as gas flow is restricted.
If the Excess Flow Valve is inadvertently activated and the
BBQ is not receiving adequate amount of gas for optimal
performance, these steps should be taken first
to reset the
gas regulator safety device:
Ensure the barbecue hood is open.
1. Turn regulator off.
2. Disconnect the QCC hand-wheel from the gas cylinder.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reconnect the QCC hand-wheel to the gas cylinder.
5. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
6. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.
Operation
Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the
GENERAL INFORMATION
