chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive
harm.
• NEVER store a spare LP tank under
or near appliance or in enclosed
areas. NEVER fill the cylinder
beyond 80% full. An overfilled
spare LP tank is hazardous due
to possible gas released from the

(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7cm)
(tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity
maximum.

equipped with this type of valve.
LP tank must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
• LP gas is non-toxic, odorless and
colorless when produced. For
Your Safety, LP gas has been given
an odor (similar to rotten cabbage)
so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and
may ignite unexpectedly when
mixed with air.
LP Tank Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced
dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tanks before
filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank
more than 80% of LP tank volume.
Volume of propane in tanks will
vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas
overfill. Immediately close LP tank
valve and call local LP gas dealer
for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP)
gas into the atmosphere. This is a
hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP tank,

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
OPD Hand Wheel

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
appliance.
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.
• Appliance must be leak checked
outdoors in well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as
gas fired or electrical appliances.
During leak test, keep appliance
away from open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50
soap and water solution. Use
mild soap and water. Do not use
household cleaning agents. Damage
to gas train components can result.
Brush soapy solution onto all weld
seams and entire valve area.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear,
do not use or move the LP tank.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your
fire department.
Connecting
Regulator To
The LP Tank
Only use
the pressure
regulator & hose
supplied with
this appliance.
See assembly
instructions or
appliance nametag for regulator
model number.
1. Place LP tank on a
secure, level, and
stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to
the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by
turning hand wheel
clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from
LP tank valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
Do not use a POL
transport plug
(plastic part with
external threads)!
It will defeat the
safety feature of
the valve.
(B) Nipple has to
be centered into
the LP tank valve
(C) Hold
coupling nut
and regulator as
shown for proper
connection to LP
tank valve
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B)
into LP tank valve. Hand tighten
coupling nut, holding regulator
in a straight line (C) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the
connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise
to tighten to a full solid stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-
check feature in LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance.
An additional one-half to three
quarters turn is required to
complete connection. Tighten by
hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete
connection, disconnect regulator
and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you
are still unable to complete the
connection, do not use
this regulator!
• Do not insert any foreign objects
into the valve outlet. You may
damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result
in explosion, fire, severe personal
injury, or death.
• Never attempt to attach this
appliance to the self-contained LP
gas system of a camper or trailer
or motor home.
Leak Testing Valves, Hoses and
Regulator
1. Turn all control knob(s) to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly
connected to LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve
by turning hand wheel counter
clockwise. If you hear a rushing
sound, turn gas off immediately.
There is a major leak at the
connection. Correct before
proceeding.
4. Brush soapy solution onto
indicated connections shown at
right.
5. If “growing”
bubbles
appear, there
is a leak. Close
LP tank valve
immediately
and retighten
connections. If leaks cannot be
stopped, do not try to repair. Call
for replacement parts. Order new
parts by giving the serial number,
model number and name of items
needed to the Service Center at
1-435-752-3922.
6. Always close LP tank valve after
performing tank leak test by
turning hand wheel clockwise.

OFF position.
3. Fully open LP bottle valve.
4. Light match and place it over
burner. Slowly turn ON the
regulator control valve. Do NOT
stand with head or arms over
cooker.
5. If ignition does not occur in 5
seconds, turn the burner control(s)
off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the
