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.
