LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when
produced. For Your Safety , LP gas has been given an
odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

when mixed with air.
LP Cylinder Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of
LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will
vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close
LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for
assistance.
•Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the
atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
•To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or

USE AND CARE
LP Cylinder Exchange
•Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange
service. Use only those reputable exchange companies
that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders.
Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped cylinder as described in the "LP
Cylinder" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE
connecting to grill.
•Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of safety cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in
leakage of propane.
LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is
exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated
area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or
electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away
from open flames or sparks.
•Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by
arrows in figure below.
▲ Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to
gas train components can result.

defeat the safety feature of
the valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into
LP cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the
coupling nut, holding regulator in a
straight line with LP cylinder valve
so as not to cross-thread the
connection.
Nipple has to be centered
into the LP cylinder valve.

Hold coupling nut
and regulator as
shown for proper
connection to LP
cylinder valve.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop.
The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the
LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance.
An
additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required
to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only –
do not use tools.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect
regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable
to complete the connection,
do not use this regulator!
DANGER

outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the
valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result
in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
