corrosion, leakage, excessive rust or other forms of visual external damage; it may be
hazardous and should be checked by a liquid propane supplier.
• Keep children away from LP gas cylinder at all times.
• Do not use, store, or transport the LP gas cylinder where it would be exposed to

. All spare and
disconnected LP gas cylinders must have safety caps installed on the
LP cylinder valve.
• LP gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas
in an LP unit or LP gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your
warranty.

detected a gas leak. Immediately disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator.

and retighten, but do not over tighten. (
Note:
Only hand tighten. Do not use any
