GAS INSTRUCTIONS
REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refi ll the LP cylinder before it is completely empty.
Removal of the LP cylinder
1)Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).
2)Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only.
3)Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way.
4)Lift cylinder off.
To refi ll, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the cylinder by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.

Safe handling tips for Liquid Propane Gas Cylinders
•Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
•LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.
•LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
•To fi ll, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible with your barbecue connection.
•Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial fi lling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
•The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
•Never store or transport the LP cylinder where tempera- tures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for ex-
ample: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day). Note - A refi ll will last about 20 hours of cooking time at nor- mal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refi ll before running out. You do not have to run out before you refi ll.
•Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.
•Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one imme- diately.
