Gas Requirements
L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Sonoma Gas Grills are set to operate with L.P. gas and come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly.
(N
ote: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure
regulator
and hose assemblies specified by Sonoma). 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
indepe
ndent dealer.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P.
cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device).
The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cyli nder 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 vlave terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable for
co
nnection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGAV1.
Cylind
ers 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 co
nstruct
ed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for L.P. gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D
OT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339
“Cylind
ers, 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 insure 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 simulate a gas leak,
causing
the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will
insure
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 r
eplaced 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.
