LP GAS CYLINDER
QCC
®
-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder
equipped with the new QCC
®
-1 Quick Closing Coupling
system.
The QCC
®
-1 system incorporates new safety features
required by the Canadian Standards Steering Committee
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
• Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been
made.
• A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between
240° and 300° F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow
of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.

The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill.
Be sure to purchase one with the QCC
®
valve. This valve is
recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the
valve. QCC
®
equipped cylinders are available from your
Gas Grill Dealer.
Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of
adapters or any other means, to any other valve could
result in damage, fire or injury and may negate the
important safety features designed into the QCC
®

system.
SPECIFICATION:
1. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be
constructed and marked with the specifications for LP
Gas Cylinders in accordance with the Canadian
Transport Commission (CTC) for use in Canada, or the
U.S. Department of Transport (DOT) for use in the
U.S.A.
2. The LP gas cylinder used for this appliance must not
have a capacity larger than 20 lb.(9 kg).
Approximately 18" (46cm) high
12" (31cm) diameter
3. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance should be
inspected at every filling and re qualified by a licensed
service outlet at the expiry date (10 years), in
accordance with the DOT (USA) and CTC (Canada)
codes for LP Gas Cylinders.
4. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be
provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a cylinder
valve outlet No. 510, specified in the Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet
Connection (USA) ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977 (Canada) CSA
B96.
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapour withdrawal.
The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.
The cylinder valve must include a safety relief device
having direct communication with the vapour space of
the cylinder.
HANDLING:
1. Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas
cylinders. You must take your new cylinder to a LP gas
dealer for filling.
2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure.
Always handle carefully and transport in the upright
position. Protect the valve from accidental damage.
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the
regulator. Fasten the cylinder securely during transport,
use and storage.
STORAGE:
1. Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated
place.
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near
a source of heat or combustion.
3. If you intend to store the grill indoors, disconnect and
remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected
cylinders must have plugs installed and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
4. Keep out of the reach of children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill,
the gas grill and LP gas cylinder must be stored outside
in a well ventilated place.
OPERATION:
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder
without the regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN
UNREGULATED LP GAS SUPPLY. The gas regulator
supplied with the appliance must be used.
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator
connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the
appliance. See "Leak Testing".
3. Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is
present. Extinguish all flame and determine source of
LP gas before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance
until the LP gas leak has been found and sealed.
