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gasmaycollectinlowareasandprevent
dispersion.
• Tofill,taketheLPcylindertoapropanegasdealer,orlookup“gas-propane”inthe
phone book for other sources of LP gas.
m 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.
• 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.
• NeverstoreortransporttheLPcylinderwheretemperaturescanreach125°F(toohot
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 18–20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale,
a feature on some of our grills, will indicate the propane supply so you can refill the
cylinder 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.
m CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
• DonotuseadamagedLPcylinder.AdentedorrustyLPcylinderoranLPcylinder
with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately.
• 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.
• Besuretheregulatorismountedwiththesmallventholepointeddownwardsothatit
