Connecting the LP Cylinder:

1)Fill empty OPD LP Cylinder at your local LP gas supplier.

2)Lift up LP Cylinder Clamp and set LP Cylinder in the Large hole inside the Bottom Panel. Lower the clamp over the Cylinder Collar. Rotate the LP Cylinder so the Cylinder nozzle is toward the door opening. (Fig. 15A)

3)Remove the protective cap from the LP Cylinder valve. (Save cap for re-capping.) Hold Regulator in a straight line with LP Cylinder valve so the connection does not cross thread. Insert Regulator Nipple into the LP Cylinder valve. (Fig. 15B) Hand tighten coupling nut in clockwise direction. Do not use tools.
