ACCESSING AND

REMOVING LIQUID

PROPANE CYLINDER

Open access door and pull locking pin up and out of

inner locking hole. Swing tank out until locking pin

drops into outer locking hole. This will hold the tank

mounting mechanism in place while the LP cylinder is

being changed.

FILL LIQUID PROPANE

CYLINDER

We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it

is completely empty.

Removal of the LP cylinder

1) Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).

2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning

counterclockwise, by hand only.

3) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock

up out of the way.

4) Lift cylinder off.

To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.

 WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder

be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a

qualified attendant, who fills the cylinder by

weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

 CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder

make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over

the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the

threaded portion of the valve.

Note - The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is

responsible for the materials, workmanship and

performance of the cylinder. If the cylinder has a

defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding

the cylinder, call the cylinder manufacturer’s customer

service center. The phone number is on the warning

decal, which is permanently attached to the cylinder. If

the cylinder manufacturer has not resolved the issue to

your satisfaction, then contact Customer Service toll

free at 1 (866) VIELUXE.

To fill, take the liquid propane cylinder and filler

adapter to an RV center or look up gas-propane in the

phone book for other sources of liquid propane gas.

 WARNING: We recommend that your liquid

propane cylinder be filled at an authorized liquid

propane gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who

fills the tank by weight.

IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

Tell your liquid propane dealer that this is a new liquid

propane cylinder. The air must be removed from a new

liquid propane cylinder before the initial filling. Your

liquid propane cylinder dealer is equipped to do this.

The liquid propane cylinder must be installed,

transported and stored in an upright position, and

should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder

where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too

hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the

liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day).

SAFE HANDLING TIPS

FOR LIQUID

PROPANE GAS

CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as

are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at

regular temperatures and pressures. Under

moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a

liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily

vaporizes and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You

should be aware of this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may

collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.

• To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look

up "gas-propane" in the phone book for other

sources of LP gas.

• WARNING: We recommend that your LP

cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas

dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the

tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS

DANGEROUS.

• WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,

make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your

LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing

coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Over

filling Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders

may not be compatible with your barbecue

connection.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before

the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do

this.

• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and

stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should

not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where

temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by

hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in

a car on a hot day).

Note - A refill will last about 8-10 hours of cooking

time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the

propane supply so you can refill before running out.

You do not have to run out before you refill.

• Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as

when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid

there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder.

Always close the cylinder valve before

disconnecting.

• CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder

make sure the plastic dust cover is in place

over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from

the threaded portion of the valve.

• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty

LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve

may be hazardous and should be replaced with a

new one immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder

must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is

reconnected. For example, test each time the LP

cylinder is refilled.

DOT 4BA240

00/01

(1)

(2)

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent

hole pointed downward so that it will not collect

water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs

etc.

• The LP cylinder and connections supplied with your

Vieluxe Gas Barbecue have been designed and

tested to meet government, American Gas

Association, and Underwriters Laboratories

requirements.

Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements

• Replacement LP cylinders supplied by Vieluxe

satisfy the above requirements. Check to be sure

other cylinders have a D.O.T. certification(1), and

date tested(2) is within five years. Your LP gas

supplier can do this for you.

If you have questions about spare LP cylinders

contact Customer Service toll free at 1 (866)

VIELUXE.

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to

protect the cylinder valve.

• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size (18 1/4 inches

high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter).

• The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in

accordance with the specifications for LP gas

cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation

(D.O.T.).

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every

time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

See” Check for Gas Leaks” on page 47.

The

Vieluxe

Smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For

best results with faster cooking foods like steaks,

burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer

wood chips because they ignite and create smoke

faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken

and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood

chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke

for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in

using your Vieluxe Smoker, we encourage you to

experiment with different combinations of wood chips

and chunks to find the smoke flavor that best suits your

taste.

To use the Vieluxe Smoker

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least

30 minutes before using.(wet wood will produce more

smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few

larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body.(1). As

you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease

the amount of wood to suit your taste.

Note - Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke

to fully penetrate the food.

Cleaning the Vieluxe Smoker

Before each use, empty the Vieluxe Smoker of ash to

allow proper air flow.

Note - Smoking will leave a "smoke" residue on the

surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be

removed and will not affect the function of the Vieluxe

Smoker. To a lesser degree a "smoke" residue will

accumulate on the inside of your Vieluxe Gas

Barbecue. This residue need not be removed and will

not adversely affect the function of your Vieluxe Gas

Barbecue.

 DANGER

Do not use any flammable fluid in the

Vieluxe Smoker to ignite the wood. This

will cause serious bodily injury.
