internal pressure is created due to expansion of the
propane which in turn causes the LP gas to be released
through the pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure
relief valve is a safety device required on 20 lb. propane
tanks by the Department of Transportation to prevent a
catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas
released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.

knob bezel.
3) Loosen the control panel by removing two (2) screws from each side of the front
control panel.
