Propane Cylinder Safety

Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the safety precautions provided in this manual are followed.

Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a fire or explosion causing property damage or personal injury.

Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored, and trans- ported with extreme caution in a secured upright position.

Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cylinder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must be replaced.

A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the passenger area of a vehicle.

Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any other source of direct heat to them.

When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, quali- fied gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by weight, and should never exceed eighty percent (80%) of its weight limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.

Cylinder Storage

Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area if the cylinder is attached to it.

Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, garage, or other enclosed area.

Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must not be stored in the cylinder enclosure.

Always store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position, out of the reach of children.

Connection Requirements

Caution: Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill designed for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed for Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different types of gases should be directed to your local gas supplier.

Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code, or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code, and local codes where applicable. Consult your local gas supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations and recom- mended procedures.

Warning: Broilmaster® Premium Gas Grills require Liquid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly filled Propane cylinder can be dangerous.

Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your Propane gas grill.

Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as external fit- ting threads.

All Broilmaster® pressure regulators and hose assemblies require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated.
