Opera ng Your Barbecue
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifica
ons for LP-gas
cylinders of the Naonal Standard of the Transportaon of Dangerous Goods Commission of Canada for Cylinders, Spheres and
O
Tubes (CAN/CSA-B139).
nly cylinders marked ‘’propane’’ must be used. Use only 1-pound

The propane cylinder must be arranged for vapour withdrawal. If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be

t
hat there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, the head of the regulator valve, or in the head of the burner or
burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-
ghten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when
the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combus
on air and ven la on air to the grill.
