hand wheel. Use only tanks equipped
with this type of valve.
LP tank must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
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 cabbage) 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 volume. 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.
LP Tank Leak Test
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.
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.
Installing The Lp Gas Cylinder
Onto The Grill
1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed
by turning the knob clockwise.
2. Hang the cylinder from the tank hook
while aligning the cylinder ring into
the tank holder at the bottom of legs.
LP TANK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve
opening faces the right side or the
front of the grill, and so that the hose
is not kinked or damaged.
4. Attach or detach regulator to the LP
gas cylinder only when cylinder is at
rest in tank holder.
5. 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.
6. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into
LP tank valve. Hand tighten coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight
line (C) with LP tank valve so as not to
cross thread the connection.
7. 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, resulting in
some resistance. An additional one-
half to three quarters turn is required
to complete connection. Tighten by
hand only – do not use tools.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear, do not use
or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas
supplier or your fire department.
WARNING
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.
(C) Hold coupling nut and
regulator as shown for proper
connection to LP tank valve
(B) Nipple has to be centered
into the LP tank valve
