    Hello,

    This unit is to be used with two types of connections:

    Cylinder Installation:

    1 lb (.454kg) disposable cylinders to be used with this unit must be equipped with
    a male CGA #600 type connection. This cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow
    gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. To install the cylinder simply screw it into the regulator
    - tighten hand tight. The cylinder must be an upright position, hanging down from the regulator when
    operating the grill. This will prevent liquid propane from entering the regulator, which can cause over
    firing and damage to the regulator.


    Portable Cylinder:



    If the gas grill is being supplied with propane from a portable cylinder, a regulator specified by the
    manufacturer must be used. The regulator must supply a pressure of 11 inches water column (0.39 PSI) to
    the gas grill and have a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1
    cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a
    positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow
    to the grill, the valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
    A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never
    use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked
    in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/
    CSA-b339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as
    applicable or the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Cart
    models have been designed for use with a 20 lb (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
    The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection
    for outdoor cooking appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating
    in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the
    vapor space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the
    cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD
    (overfill protection device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill
    the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
