Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders:
WARNING
All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be performed by qualified personnel
in the LP gas industry. Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this
appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in explosion, personal injury or death.
- 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 grill 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.
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 grills are not in use.
