•Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill,
test and certify their cylinders.
Exchange your cylinder only
for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described
in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE
connecting to grill.

or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames
or sparks.
•Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution.
