LP Hose and Regulator

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death 

from fire or explosion:

• Clean and inspect the gas hose/regulator before 

each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. 
The gas hose/regulator must be replaced prior to 
being used, if there is evidence of excessive abra-
sion or wear, or if the hose is cut or leaks. 

• Use only the gas hose/regulator assembly that 

has been supplied with this gas grill. Do not 
use hose/regulator from another manufacturer. 
Replacement gas hose/regulator assembly must be 
specified by this grill’s manufactuer before using.

• Always check for gas leaks when you connect 

and disconnect the hose/regulator to the LP Gas 
Cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for 
example, over winter).

• Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose.
• Make sure the hose/regulator does not contact any 

heated surfaces.

Cylinder nozzle is toward the door opening for proper vapor withdrawl. Lock the LP Cylinder in place by tightening 
wing bolt on the outside rear of the cabinet base so that it seats against the ring base of the LP Cylinder.
