Never use Natural Gas in a Grill that has 
been configured to burn Propane Gas, (and 
never use Propane Gas in a Grill that has 
been configured to use Natural Gas) to 
avoid possible bodily injury. Always consult 
the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to 
confirm that it has been configured to burn 
Propane Gas.
Always install the pressure regulator and 
Type 1 propane gas supply coupling and 
hose that has been provided with your 
Propane Grill, as pictured in Figure 2.
•  Always install a standard 20 lb. propane cylinder 
that has been equipped with a Type I valve outlet 
as shown in Figure 3, and that is 12” in diameter 
and 18” in height. Always use a propane cylinder 
that has been constructed and marked in confor-
mance with either the specifications for LP Gas 
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transporta-
tion or the specifications in the National Standard 
of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinder, Spheres 
and Tube for Transportation of Dangerous Goods, 
as applicable. 
•  Always confirm that your propane cylinder is 
equipped with a shutoff valve terminating in a Type I propane cylinder 
valve outlet connection, and that it has been provided with a collar to 
protect the cylinder valve.
•  Never install a propane cylinder in this Grill unless it is equipped with a 
listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
•  Always have a new propane cylinder properly purged of air by your certi-
fied propane gas dealer. Since a new cylinder is initially filled with air, 
the air must first be purged before it is filled with propane.
•  Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or rodent 
damage before each use of this Grill and, if necessary, install a replace-
ment hose and regulator obtained from the manufacturer prior to light-
ing this Grill.
•  Always place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the 
cylinder is not in use and always install the dust cap that was provided 
with the cylinder valve. e use of an incorrect dust cap could result in 
leakage of propane.
