CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 - WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates toxic by-products, which are on the list of substances
which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize
exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual,
ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas. This warning is issued pursuant to
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6.
PORTABLE LP GAS CYLINDERS
Use only a standard 20 lb. (9.1kg) liquid propane (LP) gas cylinder - 12.25” diam. X 18.25” H
(31cm X 47cm) which features an Overfill Protection Device. The cylinder must be installed in
the upright position. Do not use a dented or rusty LP cylinder as it may be hazardous and should
be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Never move or alter
the gas fittings. Check the expiration date on the cylinder collar as well. Do not refill an expired
cylinder, it must be replaced. If you buy refilled (exchange) LP cylinders, check this date as well.
The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for
LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be provided
with a shut off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable,
for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.
Certain liquid propane dealers may fill LP cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling
capacity. This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition due to a build-up of excess pressure.
As a safety device, there is a pressure relief valve which will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this
excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger,
you should take the following safety precautions:
1. When you have your cylinder filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 80%
of its total capacity.
2. If you own or use a spare cylinder, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit
or burner box, or near any other ignition or heat source (like a water heater or furnace).
IF THE INFORMATION IN 1 AND 2 ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE
CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.
3. The LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of
the reach of children.
4. Do not store a full cylinder in direct sunlight.
