IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY
When operating your barbecue or gourmet power
burner with a propane gas cylinder these instructions
and warnings must be observed. Failure to do so may
result in a serious fire or explosion.
CYLINDER AND CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS AND
SPECIFICATIONS
a. Propane gas cylinders and valves must be maintained
in good condition and must be replaced if there is visible
damage to either the cylinder or valve.
b. Your barbecue or gourmet power burner, when used
with a cylinder, should be connected to a standard 5
gallon (20lb.) propane gas cylinder equipped with an
OPD (Overfill Prevention Device). The OPD has been
required on all cylinders sold since October 1,1998 to
prevent overfilling.
c. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12
inches in diameter and 18 inches high. Cylinders must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for Propane 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.
d. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve and the cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
e. The pressure regulator and hose assembly used with
Fire Magic Barbecues must be provided or specified by
the Robert H. Peterson Co. The regulator and hose
included with this instruction sheet is equipped with a
coupling device commonly described as a Type II Quick
Disconnect Coupler.
f. The propane gas (propane) cylinder valve for
connection to this coupler must be equipped with a
coupling device identified as Type II by Figure 2 of the
Harmonized Standard ANSI Z 21.58 and CGA 1.6-M95-
1995 with Addenda ANSI Z 21.58a -1998 and CGA 1.6a
- M98.
g. Your propane gas cylinder may be equipped with a
Type I Acme Thread Quick Coupler. The enclosed
propane gas coupling adapter kit may be used. Follow
the manufacturer’s installation instructions exactly, to
convert to the Type II nipple (plug-in) device.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF L.P. GAS CYLINDERS
a. Quick coupler operation - to connect the regulator/
hose assembly to the propane gas cylinder valve fitting
1) Pull back the sleeve on the coupler and insert the
nipple 2) Release the sleeve then push the nipple firmly
into the coupler until the sleeve returns forward, locking
the nipple in the coupler. To disconnect, pull the sleeve
back on the coupler and pull out the nipple (Figure 3).
b. Important: Before using the barbecue or gourmet
power burner and after each time the cylinder is
removed and reattached, check all connections for leaks.
Turn off the barbecue or gourmet power burner valves
and open the main cylinder valve, then check
connections with soapy water. Repair any leaks before
lighting the barbecue or gourmet power burner. NEVER
USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
c. CAUTION: Always turn the L.P./ propane cylinder
main valve off after each use and before moving the
barbecue or gourmet power burner and cylinder or
disconnecting the coupling. This valve must remain
closed while the barbecue is not in use, even though
the gas flow is stopped by a safety feature when the
coupler is disconnected.
d. Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before
the gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose should
be replaced immediately.
e. For barbecues or gourmet power burners stored
indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and
removed. Cylinders must be stored out of the reach
of children and must not be stored in a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
a. Do not store a spare propane gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
b. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full
WARNING: If the information and directions
contained in this instruction sheet are not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
The cylinder valve and this regulator hose kit
incorporate a safety feature that limits excessive
gas flow. After connecting the cylinder to your
barbecue or gourmet power burner and opening the
cylinder valve, you must wait one minute before
proceeding with the lighting instructions.
