WARNING: When not connected to your grill, the LP gas tank must be
stored in an upright position in a cool, shady, well-ventilated, outdoor
location away from your grill or any other heat source. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to tank valve damage, fire hazard and personal injury.
Refilling a Propane Tank
It is extremely important that your LP tank be filled properly when you take it to be
refilled. Be sure to use a reputable LP dealer and observe how the tank is filled and at
what capacity. An overfilled LP tank can be dangerous.
The proper way to fill a tank is by weight. The empty tank should be placed on a scale.
The scale weights should be readjusted to a weight that would allow up to 80% of the
total weight. The filling operation must end once the tank is filled to 80% of its total
capacity. If the tank is not completely empty, the scale readjustment must be changed
to consider the propane (LP) already in the tank.
WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains more than 80%
of its total capacity of propane (LP).
An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If a
tank is overfilled and the weather causes the warming of the LP tank, (a hot day,
tank left in sun or stored indoors)internal pressure is created due to expansion
of the propane which in turn may cause the LP gas to be released through the
pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure relief valve is a safety device
required on 20 lb. propane tanks by the Department of Transportation or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes
for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable, to
prevent a catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas released
from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints
must be sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber’s
tape. After making connections, check all joints for leaks using a soapy
water solution and a brush.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Use of an open flame
could result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
Stainless Steel
The control panel and door of the gas grill is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is
non-rusting in certain conditions; therefore, a cover and stainless steel cleaner should be
used when the grill is not in use.
Clean with stainless steel cleaner on all non-cooking surfaces once a month.
Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot.
After initial grilling, certain areas of the grill (i.e the vents, hood and firebox) may
discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the intense heat from the burners.
