Connecting Gas Cylinder:
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for propane gas Cylinders of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation (DOT), or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable. Only cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device
(OPD) and marked “propane” may be used. Cylinders with an OPD will have valve
handles with three “lobes” (prongs). Only use 20-pound cylinders equipped with a
Type 1 cylinder connection device for outdoor cooking appliances. The cylinder
must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should not be
dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must
be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylin-
der is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored
outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage
or any other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be stored where tempera-
tures can reach over 125 F. Before connection, be sure that there is no debris
caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve or in the head of
the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Dis-
connect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill. The pro-
pane cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed
overfilling prevention device. For proper vapor withdrawal, the cylinder should be
used in the proper upright position (refer to illustration under step 22 of page 17).
DANGER
Never store a spare propane cylinder near this grill.
A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if the above is not followed
exactly.
