Use and Care
LP Tank
• The LP tank used with your grill must meet the following
requirements:
• Purchase LP tanks only with these required measurements:
12" (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9
kg.) capacity maximum.
• Be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications for LP tank of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous
goods, Transport Canada (TC). See LP tank collar for
marking.
• LP tank valve must have:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill.
• Safety relief valve.
• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
This OPD safety feature is identified by a
unique triangular hand wheel. Use only
tanks equipped with this type of valve.
• Supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and
include collar to protect LP tank valve.
LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
• Is nontoxic, 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 tank must be purged before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank
volume. Volume of propane in tank 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, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.
• LP tank Exchange: You may choose to replace your empty LP
tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable
exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and
certify their cylinders. Exchange for OPD safety feature
equipped tank as described in LP Tank
• Always keep LP tank in upright position during use, transit or
storage.
• Leak test LP tank BEFORE connecting to grill.
