PROPANE GAS GRILLS
Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of
safe use when the safety precautions provided
in this manual are followed.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING
PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Propane gas cylinders should always be
handled, stored, and transported with extreme
caution in a secured upright position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas
cylinder that has been damaged. Never attempt
to use or repair a cylinder with a faulty or
damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been
dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must
be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be
transported in the passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never
apply any other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a
reputable, qualified gas dealer. Your propane
gas cylinder is filled by weight, and should
never exceed eighty (80%) percent of its weight
limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the
gas dealer must make necessary adjustments
to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an
overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well
ventilated area if the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded
valve plug tightly installed and must not be
stored in any building, garage, or other enclosed
area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers,
etc.) must not be stored in the cylinder
enclosure.
Always store Propane cylinders in a secured
upright position, out of the reach of children.
CAUTION: NEVER USE LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS
IN
A GRILL DESIGNED FOR NATURAL GAS, OR NATURAL
GAS
IN A GRILL DESIGNED FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS.
QUESTIONS REGARDING DIFFERENT TYPES OF GASES
SHOULD
BE DIRECTED TO YOUR LOCAL GAS SUPPLIER.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation
shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.2
Propane Installation Code, or CAN/CGA-B149.1
Natural Gas Installation Code, and local codes
where applicable. Consult your local gas
supplier or propane gas dealer for code
regulations and recommended procedures.
