Any LP gas supply cylinder used withthis grill must be approximately12”(305) diameter and 18”(457) high.The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs.of propane or 5 gallons(3.8L). Fullcylinder weight should be approxi-mately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs nominal watercapacity). The LP gas supply cylindermust be provided with a listed overfill-ing preventive device (DPD).

All LP gas cylinders used with thisappliance must be constructed andmarked in accordance with the specifi-cations for LP gas cylinders.

Always use the cylinder dust cap onthe cylinder valve outlet during trans-port and when the cylinder is not con-nected to the grill. Your cylinder isequipped with a quick connect closing(QCC-1) cylinder valve. Refer to the LPgas hook-up illustrations. The valvecontains a backcheck which isdesigned to prevent gas flow until it isconnected to the regulator. Keep thecylinder valve closed when it is not inuse or attached to the grill.

Gas supply cylinders are shippedempty for safety. Allow only a qualifiedLP gas dealer to fill or repair your LPgas supply cylinder. The gas dealermust purge a new cylinder of airbefore filling it. Caution the gas dealernot to overfill cylinder. After filling,have the gas dealer check for leaks tosee that the relief valve remains free tofunction.

Approximate running time for the 20lb. LP tank:

• BBQ36 (69,000 BTU) 6-1/2 hrs.

• BBQ242 (80,000 BTU) 5-1/2 hrs.

• BBQ48 (89,000 BTU) 5 hrs.

• BBQ362 (101,000 BTU) 4-1/2 hrs.

A Wolf BBQ grill set up for use withLP gas comes equipped with a five-foot hose, regulator and an unfilled20 lb.(9.1kg) LP gas cylinder.

LP gas is short for liquefied petroleumgas, sometimes called propane,butane or bottled gas. It is a flamm-able gas which becomes liquid whenstored under high pressure inside acylinder and it vaporizes whenreleased.

LP gas is heavier than air. Leakingpropane gas tends to collect in lowareas and could cause a fire or explo-sion. It is important there are no leak-ing connections on your gas grill.Refer to the section Leak Testing onpage 10.

The pressure regulator and hoseassembly supplied with this appliancemust be used. Replacement pressureregulator and hose assemblies mustmeet with the appliance manufactur-er’s specifications. The pressure regu-lator and hose assembly provided isfactory set at an outlet pressure of11" WC (.4 lbs per sq. inch). Yournew grill regulator is equipped with acoupling nut. Refer to the LP gashook-up illustrations on page 8. Donot attempt to connect to any LPcylinder not equipped with a matingquick connect closing (QCC-1) cylin-der valve.

The coupling nut connects to thelarge outside thread on the valve out-let. To complete the connection, fol-low these steps:

• Be certain all grill burner valves(including open burner and rotisserieif so equipped) are in the OFF posi-tion.

• Make certain the cylinder valvehandwheel is in the closed position.Turn clockwise (left to right) to fullstop.

• Remove the protective caps fromthe cylinder valve and coupling nut.

• Hold the regulator in one hand andinsert the nipple into the cylindervalve. Be certain the nipple is cen-tered in the valve outlet. Hand tight-en the coupling nut. Do not cross-thread the connection.

• Turn the coupling nut clockwise(left to right), to tighten to a fullstop.

T R A N S P O R T I N G T H EG A S C Y L I N D E R

• Only one LP cylinder should betransported at a time. Transport cylin-der in an upright and secure mannerwith control valve turned off and thedust cap in place.

• Do not transport the cylinder in thepassenger compartment.

• Do not leave a cylinder in directsunlight or in a high heat area suchas a closed car trunk. High heat areascould cause the relief valve to ventgas.

• Do not store cylinders in a building,garage or any other enclosed area.Store outdoors in a well ventilatedarea away from people.

• The LP gas cylinder must be pro-vided with a cylinder connectiondevice compatible with the connec-tion for outdoor cooking appliances.

Handle a filled cylinder withcare. The gas in the cylinder isunder high pressure.
