Turn control knobs and cylinder valve to the OFF position. Unscrew valve.
Remove cylinder and have it filled at your local qualified propane dealer.
Once filled, carefully connect the valve and make sure it is secure and not leaking.
With the control knobs in the OFF position, turn on the cylinder valve.
If you smell gas or hear a hiss of gas escaping from the tank, get away from the tank and do not attempt to correct
the problem yourself. Call the Fire Department immediately.
If your appliance has no leak at the cylinder, then re-check for loose connections and retest for leaks using the
method detailed in the following pages with soapy solution.
Do not subject your LP gas cylinder to excessive heat, and always store the cylinder in an upright position. Never
store your LP cylinders indoors.
Make sure that when attaching components, all connections are secured and fully tightened to prevent leakage.
Always check for leaks before every use.
If one is not already available, it is recommended that an ON-OFF shutoff valve be installed at the gas supply source,
and that the gas supply be turned off when either Natural Gas or LP Gas appliances are not in use.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the cylinder is secured in an upright position with the control valve
turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylinders outdoors and out of the reach of children. Do not store cylinders
in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
