specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR49 or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods. Only cylinders marked “propane” may be used. The gas
cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder
must be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach
