Important Safety Information

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

BEFORE LIGHTING: Smell all around the working area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the ground because propane is heavier than air and will settle on the ground.

DAILY: Check for gas leaks. Use mild soap and water solution or other approved method. Apply solution to all gas lines and fittings then watch for gas bubbles.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR FIND GAS BUBBLES:

• Evacuate all unqualified personnel from area

• Do not try to light any burner

• Do not strike a flame

• Do not use electric fans to remove gas from area

• Do not touch any electric switch and do not use any phone

• If leak is from a gas fitting, tighten fitting until leak stops

• If leak is from a gas line, shut off at LP-gas cylinder and replace gas line

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a remote phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.

• If leak can not be stopped by shutting off LP-gas cylinder shut-off valve, immediately call your gas supplier from a remote phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier call the fire department

NOTE: Burners will need to be ignited to test gas lines and fittings downstream of gas safety valves (CC and HH). Ignite burners only after thoroughly checking gas line and fitting upstream of gas safety valves.

ti14128a

Use only your hand to push in or turn the kettle gas safety valve (CC). Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it; call a qualified service technician. Attempted repair or force may result in a fire or explosion.

Do not use this equipment if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect equipment and all components. Replace defective parts only with approved manufactured parts.
