SAFETY
Both NATURAL gas and PROPANE (also known as LP) gas have a long history of safe use when rules listed
below are followed. If they are not followed, there is a danger of fire, explosion or personal injury.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1. In Canada, installation shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code, or
CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code, and local codes where applicable. Consult your local
NATURAL gas company or PROPANE gas dealer for code regulations and recommended procedures.
Never use PROPANE gas in a grill designed for NATURAL gas or NATURAL gas in a grill designed for
PROPANE gas. Please consult your local gas company for any questions about propane or nat
ural gas.
Propane Gas Grills
On PROPANE gas grills, use only the PROPANE gas cylinder (tank) recommended or supplied. Broilmaster’s
PROPANE gas grills are for use with standard 20 pound PROPANE gas cylinders. DO NOT CONNECT A
BROILMASTER PROPANE GAS GRILL TO A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING 20 POUNDS
CAPACITY. A cylinder of approximately 12-1/8” (30.8 centimeters) tall is the maximum size cylinder allowed.
The LP gas supply cylinder to be used must be:
1. constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinder 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.
2. provided with a listed overfilling prevention device;
3. provided with a listed safety device having direct access with the vapor space of the cylinder and
the cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal;
4. provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a valve outlet as specified in the Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections, ANSICGA-V-1;
5. provided with a plug to effectively seal off the cylinder outlet when the cylinder is being stored or
transported;
6. provided with a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with each PROPANE gas grill. The pressure
regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than 11 inches water column and is to be connected to the
PROPANE gas cylinder’s female valve before the grill can be operated. Keep the pressure regulator’s fitting
clean and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched fitting can cause a gas leak, resulting in an
explosion or fire when connected to the PROPANE gas cylinder. Replacement parts must be as specified by
the repair parts list or as specified by Broilmaster.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF A PROPANE GAS GRILL WITHOUT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND
HOSE ASSEMBLY WILL CAUSE GAS LEAKS WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE, EXPLOSION OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: SOME VALVE AND TANK COMBINATIONS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. CHECK WARNING TAG ON
VALVE AND TANK; ALSO CHECK EXTERNAL THREADS OF FITTINGS. Broilmaster pressure regulator and
hose assemblies are equipped for cylinders with a Type 1 cylinder connection device.
Handle PROPANE gas cylinders with care:
A. If the cylinder’s outlet valve is damaged, do not attempt to use or repair. The cylinder must be replaced.
B. DO NOT store a grill indoors unless the PROPANE gas cylinder is disconnected and removed from the grill.
When the cylinder is installed on the grill they must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
C. Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored in a build
ing, garage or any other enclosed space. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
D. Do not apply heat directly to a PROPANE gas cylinder.
E. Always transport, store and use PROPANE gas cylinders in an upright secure position.
F. DO NOT carry PROPANE gas cylinders in the passenger area of a vehicle.
G. For PROPANE gas grills, have PROPANE gas cylinders filled by a qualified gas dealer; cylinders are to be
filled by weight, to no more than 80% of physical capacity.
