Thermos 461644604 manual LP Tank Exchange, LP Tank Leak Test, Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank

LP Tank Exchange

•Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.

•Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage.

•Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to grill.

LP Tank Leak Test

For your safety

•Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.

•Do not smoke during leak test.

•Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

•Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.

•Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below.

￿Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.
