The worn nozzles do not have enough “bite” to engage the valve. Try another licensed LP dealer or purchase a new tank with an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device.)

Humming or	Outside temperature, humid-
whistling from the	ity, barometric pressure, and
regulator	the gas level within the tank
	may cause the rubber dia-
	phragm inside the regulator
	to vibrate, making a humming
	or whistling sound.

Although this sound may be alarming, this is NOT dangerous as long as it is not accompanied by the smell of gas. Simply adjust the burner settings and usually the sound will subside. If the humming sound persists, a change in atmospheric conditions will eventually stop the vibration. Should you smell gas, do not use the grill and call Customer Service at 1-800-251-7558
