REFUELING AND STORAGE OF FUEL CYLINDERS
This machine uses a 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity aluminum or steel cylinder, which meets the DOT 4E240 standards. These cylinders are also listed
by UL. In addition, the steel cylinder meets European TPED specifications and is CE compliant. Filling should be done ONLY by a qualified
propane dealer. FILL THROUGH THE SERVICE VALVE ONLY. A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capapcity.
Do not attempt cylinder repair. Return the cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary. Please note that DOT regulations prohibit ship-
ping of cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.
When not in use, cylinders should always be stored outside in an upright position in a secure, tamper-proof, steel mesh storage cabinet. The
cabinet may be located next to the building, but with at least five feet (1.5 m) of space between the cabinet and the nearest building opening
(door or window).
The cylinder to be used on this machine is a vapor withdraw cylinder. A liquid withdraw cylinder is not to be used with this machine. The use
of a liquid withdraw cylinder on a vapor withdraw system could freeze the regulator and create a fire hazard. The National Fire Protection As-
sociation (NFPA) Standard for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is the appropriate authority for safe propane use. A copy of this publication is
