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 se-
cured 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 repu
-
table, 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 ab
-
sence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation shall be in ac-
cordance 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 regula-
tions and recommended procedures.
