L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Frigidaire Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly.
(Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement
pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Frigidaire). This assembly is designed to connect
directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. cylinders can be
purchased separately at an independent dealer.
Ensure that the black plastic grommets on the L.P. cylinder valve are in place and that the hose does not come
into contact with the grease tray or the grill head.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a
cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated,
averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as
applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection
ANSI/CGAV1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder
must have an overfill protection device, OPD, on it.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). “Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to ensure
proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank.
When gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may
stimulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames.
Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or
wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.
• The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
