● 

The LP Gas Cylinder must be a 20 pound cylinder and have a Type 1 Cylinder Valve Outlet 
Connector.

 

● 

Handle the Cylinder with care - do not drop it.

 

● 

When you are not using the grill, the LP Gas Cylinder should be dis-
connected.

 

● 

Connect the regulator and hand tighten firmly.

 

● 

Do a leak test each time you connect a LP Gas Cylinder and before 
lighting the grill.

 

● 

Never use a match or lit flame to test for leaks.

 

● 

To test, prepare a weak solution of detergent and water. Spray or 
swab the solution onto the connection of the regulator to the LP Gas 
Cylinder valve, and

 

on all the joints in the hose connections up to the burner valves (which 

MUST be  closed in the "OFF" position). 

 

● 

Open the LP Gas Cylinder valve, and watch for any

 

bubbles to appear at all the connection 

points. No bubbles indicate -  All Clear!

 

● 

If there are any bubbles, there is a leak which must be fixed.

 

● 

Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
