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 American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• 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
Smoker. 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. Constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and
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 vapor
withdrawal.
The cylinder must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve.
The cylinder must be installed as per assembly
instructions.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. A fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
The cylinder valve must include a safety relief device
having direct communication with the vapor 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.
4. If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the
regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator
and have it checked before using again.
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 a dust cap 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.
6. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
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.
4. Always shut off LP gas cylinder valve when the
appliance is not in use
