REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refi ll 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 refi ll, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
ƽ WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualifi ed
attendant, who fi lls the cylinder by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
ƽ CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve.

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 fi ll, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up
“gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources of LP
gas.
ƽ WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualifi ed
attendant, who fi lls the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
ƽ 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 (Overfi lling 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 fi lling. 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 tempera-
tures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for ex-
ample: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
Note - A refi ll will last about 20 hours of cooking time at nor-
mal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so
you can refi ll before running out. You do not have to run out
before you refi ll.
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.
ƽ 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 imme-
diately.
