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 | |
(1) | attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER | |
FILLING IS DANGEROUS. | ||
| ||
| • Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial fi lling. Your | |
| LP dealer is equipped to do this. | |
(3) | • 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 temperatures can reach | |
(2) | 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder | |
in a car on a hot day). | ||
| Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel | |
| scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You | |
| do not have to run out before you refill. | |
| • 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. |
