WARNING
LP GAS CYLINDER (NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS COOKER)
The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder specifically designed to be used with this cooker must
have a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type 1 cylinder valve and an over-filling protection
device (OPD).
• DO NOT connect this cooker to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with Left Hand threads.
The Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve outlet.
• DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding this capacity.
• DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.
CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS:
When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas cooker, it must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods as applicable with a listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:
All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:
• National Fuel Gas Code/ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
• Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58
• Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1
To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company.
This cooker was not intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
• A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.
• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.
• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.
• A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
• A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).
5
• Turn off the cylinder valve when your cooker is not in use.
• Handle the tank with care.
• Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.
• Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your cooker.
• DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder near your cooker.
• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that
accompany this product.
• Never store a spare LP gas cylinder near your cooker. This could cause excess
pressure to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion,
or severe personal injury, including death.
NOTE: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW
AREAS. PROPER VENTILATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear
from obstructions and debris.
• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the backcheck could result. A damaged back-check can cause a leak, possibly resulting in
explosion, fire, severe bodily harm, or death.

WARNING
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:
• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a
new tank.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can
create a dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build up pressure and cause the
relief valve to expel propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in
contact with a spark source or flame, an explosion causing severe burns, bodily
harm, or death could occur.
• Always use a protective cylinder cap when cooker is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder
has a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).
