TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Liquid propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. In normal

temperatures and pressures, LP gas is a gas. When moderate pressure is applied, inside a cylinder,

LP gas becomes a liquid. As the pressure is released the liquid readily vaporizes and boils off as a

gas.

 LP gas has no odor, but rather an odor additive so you can smell it.

 Propane gas is denser than air, if a propane tank purges to relieve pressure build-up, the propane

will collect in low lying areas. These areas can be easily ignited and are highly flammable. Use

caution when dealing with a propane tank that may have recently self-purged.

 DO NOT paint propane tanks any color other than white. Any alteration to tank color will result in

tank purging, fire, personal injury, or death.

 Big John Grills & Rotisseries uses high quality Worthington Cylinders in 30 lb. and 40 lb. sizes.

These tanks are protected with a rust-resistant white powder coat finish.

 Always keep the cylinder valve closed when not in use.

 Cylinders are designed to function with the valve completely open or completely closed, there is no

in-between. Never open the valve just a “crack” or “half way”.

 Always position the propane cylinder so that the connection between the valve and the regulator will

not cause any sharp bends in the hose.

 NEVER store or use propane cylinders indoors.

 Make sure the POL or QCC Connector is free from scratches or nicks which can cause gas leaks.

 DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of a gas appliance.

 DO NOT store extra liquid propane cylinders within the vicinity of a gas appliance.

 DO NOT store a liquid propane cylinder in/on any part of an appliance not intended for such use.

Improper storage of a cylinder could lead an explosion, fire, personal injury, or death.

 DO NOT store or lean items against unit surface or fuel cylinders while operating.

 Shut off unit and all gas sources if the odor of unburned gas is detected. Make no attempt to use the

unit until gas leaks are fixed and/or the odor is accounted for.

 Do NOT use a damaged, dented, or rusty LP cylinder or a cylinder with a damaged valve - replace

with a new one immediately.

 Replacement LP tanks must match the regulator connection supplied with this grill and be a

minimum of 30 lb. capacity.

PROPANE SAFETY - GENERAL

LIQUID PROPANE TANK REQUIREMENTS

 For tanks not purchased from Big John Grills & Rotisseries: check to be sure cylinders have been

tested within the past 5 years and have a D.O.T. certification. Your LP gas supplier can do this for

you.

 All LP tank supply systems must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

 All tanks used on Big John Grills equipment must be a minimum of 30 lb. size.

 Tanks larger than 100 lbs. in size may require a POL for connection. Please call a Big John

Customer Service Representative if you are using a 100 lb. propane tank.

DISCONNECTING AND TRANSPORTING PROPANE CYLINDERS FOR REFILLING

 Turn off all control knobs and close the main cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator with QCC.

 Place cylinder valve plug snugly in the main cylinder valve outlet. Only use the cylinder valve plug

that is provided with the cylinder. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

 Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as full ones. Even when the tank is empty, there is

still some gas pressure left in the cylinder.

 Always transport and store propane cylinders in a secure, upright position. Never store these

propane tanks on their side, handle them roughly, or drop them.

 Never keep propane cylinders (full or empty) in a hot vehicle. Heat can cause the relief valve to

purge propane creating a very dangerous situation.

 To fill, take the LP cylinder to a propane gas dealer WARNING: We strongly recommend that your

LP cylinder be filled by an authorized propane dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the

tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

 Air must be purged from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer will do this.

STORING PROPANE CYLINDERS

 Turn off all control knobs and close the main cylinder valve.

 Place cylinder valve plug or cap snugly in main cylinder valve outlet.

 Always store propane cylinders in a secure, cool/dry place in the upright position.

 Never store propane cylinders in a vehicle of any kind and or anywhere the temperatures can reach

125° F.

CLEANING & CARE

SPIDER & INSECT ALERT

All outdoor appliances should be inspected thoroughly for spiders and insects if unit is sitting for a period

of time between uses. Propane and natural gas contain an odorant that insects and spiders are

attracted to. This leads them to build webs and nests in burners and around control valves. Nests can

form very quickly and are prevalent in areas with wet and humid conditions. We recommend the regular

cleaning and inspection of the burner and control valves as a form of normal maintenance.

1. Warning Signs of a nest or web:

a. The smell of gas

b. Burner is hard to light or will not light at all

2. How to clean the burner tubes:

a. Turn off gas and completely disconnect unit from gas source. (let cool completely if previously

lit)

b. Remove burner and visually inspect inside looking for a cotton-like substance that could be a

web or nest.

c. If a mud-like substance is found, this is a sign of wasps and should be cleaned immediately

d. Use a pipe cleaner to remove any signs of web, nest, or other debris

e. Wipe off outside and each hole along burner to ensure nothing is clogging holes

f. Rinse with water if necessary

g. Dry burner thoroughly before replacing into unit.

h. Apply vegetable oil and light unit, if burner was washed with soap and water, to help prevent

rusting.

3. How to clean the control valve orifice:

a. Turn off gas and completely disconnect grill from gas source.

b. Use small wire, needle or pipe cleaner to gently wipe away any debris from orifice.

TO CLEAN:

1. Turn off the unit and wait approximately 10-15 minutes before attempting to clean. Grate will still be

warm to touch use caution if handling.

2. Wipe down with hot soapy water as needed. Do not use a wire brush on stainless steel.

3. Cover with stainless steel weather cover once cooled down completely. Cast iron burner should be

protected from elements.
