GAS INSTRUCTIONS
Liquid Propane Cylinder
The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for
the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If
the tank has a defect malfunctions, or you have a question
regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer’s customer
service center. The phone number is on the warning de-
cal, which is permanently attached to the tank. If the tank
manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfac-
tion, then contact the Customer Service Representative in
your region using the contact information sheet provided
with your manual.
REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refi ll the LP cylinder before it is
completely empty.
Removal of the LP cylinder
1) Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).
2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclock-
wise, by hand only.
3) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up
out of the way.
4) Lift cylinder off.
To refi ll, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
fi lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualifi ed
attendant, who fi lls the cylinder by weight. IMPROP-
ER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the
valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded
portion of the valve.
Checking the fuel level in your tank
Check the fuel level by viewing the color indicator level line
on the side of the tank scale.

Safe handling tips for Liquid Propane Gas
Cylinders
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are
gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure,
inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is
released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should
be aware of this odor.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect
in low areas and prevent dispersion.
• To fi ll, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up
“gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources of
LP gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
fi lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualifi ed
attendant, who fi lls the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make
sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP cyl-
inder is equipped with a quick closing coupling or
type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfi lling Prevention
Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible
with your barbecue connection.
• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the
initial fi lling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be
dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where tempera-
tures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for
example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot
day).
Note - A refi ll will last about 20 hours of cooking time at
normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply
so you can refi ll before running out. You do not have to run
out before you refi ll.
• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when
full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still
may be gas pressure in the cylinder.
Always close the
cylinder valve before disconnecting.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the
valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded
portion of the valve.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP
cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one im-
mediately.
Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder
must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is recon-
nected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is
refi lled.
