DANGER – Gas Safety
Liquid propane (LP) gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before using any
propane product.
•
Propane Characteristics: Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools in low areas.
•
In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
•
Contact with propane could cause freeze burns to the skin.
•
This grill is shipped from the factory for propane gas use only.
•
Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
•
Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas supplier.
•
Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the
release valve and allow gas flow to escape.

before lighting it, and that no gasoline or other volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this grill. The temperature of a
grease fire or of the radiated heat might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combustible or volatile substances.
