LP TANK VALVE MUST HAVE:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or appliance.
• Safety relief valve.
• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety fea-
ture is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only tanks
equipped with this type of valve.
• Cylinders need to be used in the upright position.
LP tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal for 20 lb. and 1 lb
cylinders.
LP (LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS)
• LP gas is non-toxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For
your safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cab-
bage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when
mixed with air.
LP TANK FILLING
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tanks before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank vol-
ume. Volume of propane in tanks will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP tank
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 tank, contact an LP dealer or call a local
fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under
“Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers.
LP TANK EXCHANGE
• Many retailers that sell appliances offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tanks through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and
certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the “LP Tank” section of this
manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during
use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to
appliance.
CONNECTING REGULATOR TO THE LP TANK
Only use the pressure regulator and hose supplied with this appliance.
See assembly instructions or appliance name tag for regulator model
number.
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level and stable surface.
2. Turn control valve to the OFF position (turn clockwise to a full
stop).
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
Do not use a POL transport plug (plastic part with external threads)! It
will defeat the safety feature of the valve.
(A) Nipple has to be centered into the LP tank valve.
(B) Hold coupling nut and regulator as shown for proper connection to
LP tank valve
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (A) into LP tank valve. Hand tighten
coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line (B) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in LP tank valve, result-
ing in some resistance. An additional one-half to three quarters turn
is required to complete connection. Tighten by hand only - do not
use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator and
repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connec-
tion, do not use this regulator!
7. Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may
damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in
explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
8. Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas
system of a camper or trailer or motor home.
For your Safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances.
During leak test, keep appliance away from open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50 soap and water solution. Use mild
soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to
gas train components can result. Brush soapy solution onto all weld
seams and entire valve area.
LP TANK LEAK TEST
CONNECTING REGULATOR TO THE LP TANK
• Perform leak test outdoors.
• Extinguish all open flames.
• NEVER leak test when smoking.
• Do not use the outdoor stove until connection has been leak tested
and does not leak.
