B) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only (2).
C) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way.

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

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.
• NeverstoreortransporttheLPcylinderwheretemperaturescanreach125°F
(too hot 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
will indicate the propane supply so you can refill 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.DentedorrustyLPcylindersorLPcylinders
