CONNECTING THE LP CYLINDER (Fig. R)
Install the gas cylinder in the back of your grill, with the open side of the
tank valve collar pointing towards the square hole in the tank enclosure.
Ensure that all hoses, fittings and regulators are properly protected from
heat and accidental damage. Hoses can be burned or chaffed if routed
improperly. (See Hose and Regulator, page 3). Be sure all burner con-
trol valves on the grill are turned “OFF”. To connect hose and regulator
to cylinder turn coupling nut clockwise as shown in diagram below (Fig.
R). (To remove the quick connect coupling nut, turn counter clockwise).
Your Phoenix Grill comes with a Type I connector, also known as a
“Quick Connect Valve” connection. It has a large plastic (coupling nut”
that screws onto the propane tank gas outlet. Note: Your Phoenix
Grill does not come with a propane tank. Therefore, be sure the
tank you purchase has this type of hook-up. Also, the cylinder you
use must be equipped with a listed overfilling protection device.
This can be identified by the triangular hand wheel. (See diagram
below and page 2 of these instructions).
LP GAS CYLINDERS SAFE HANDLING TIPS
Liquid propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline
and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and
pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas
is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vapor-
izes and becomes gas.
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. Be aware of this
odor.
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking gas collects in low areas
and prevents dispersion.
To fill, take the LP cylinder to your local authorized LP dealer,
or look up “gas-propane” in the yellow pages to find authorized
dealers.
A new LP cylinder must be purged before the first filling. Your
LP dealer is equipped to do this.
An LP cylinder must be transported, installed and stored in an
upright position.
LP cylinders should not be handled roughly.
Never store or transport an LP cylinder where the temperatures
can reach 125 degrees. Never leave an LP cylinder in a car on
a hot day.
Always close the LP cylinder valve before disconnecting the
tank or any other gas fitting.
Always close the LP Cylinder valve after using grill.
Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented, rusty or a dam-
aged LP cylinder valve may be hazardous and should be re-
placed with a new one immediately.
REMOVAL OF THE LP CYLINDER
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Unscrew the QCC-1 plastic nut BY HAND COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE (to the left).
3. Raise the tank locking bar
4. Lift cylinder off.
WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make
sure you get a similar tank in return.
Your exchanged LP cylinder must be equipped with a
QCC-1 or type-1 valve and an OPD (Overflowing
Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not be
compatible with your grill connection.
LP-GAS CYLINDER FILLING & HANDLING
A qualified attendant, who fills the cylinder by weight, should
fill your LP cylinder at an authorized LP gas dealer. Im-
proper filling is dangerous.
When transporting the LP cylinder be sure the plastic dust
cover is in place over the valve. This keeps the valve
threads free of dirt.
Do not handle the cylinder roughly.
Do not apply heat directly to the cylinder.
LP-GAS CYLINDER FILLING & HANDLING (Continued)
Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial
filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor with-
drawal
Always keep and store cylinders in an upright, secure position.
Use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a
garage, building, or any other enclosed area.
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permis-
sible only the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the
outdoor cooking gas appliance.
If the outdoor cooking appliance is not in use, the gas must be
turned off at the supply cylinder.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area.
● Never fill the LP cylinder beyond 80% full.
● Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the
grill.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
