Safe handling tips for Liquid Propane
Gas Cylinders
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as
are petrol and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at normal
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate
pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the
pressure is released, the liquid readily vapourises
and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You
should be aware of this odour.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may
collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not
be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where
temperatures can reach 51°C (too hot to hold by
hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a
car on a hot day).
• Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as
when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid
there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder.
Always close the cylinder valve before
disconnecting.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty
LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve
may be hazardous and should be replaced with a
new one immediately.
Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder
must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is
reconnected. For example, test each time the LP
cylinder is refilled.
• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent
hole pointed downward so that it will not collect
water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease,
insects etc.
Refilling the Liquid Propane
Cylinder
We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is
completely empty.
To refill, take LP cylinder to a "Gas Propane" dealer.
Removal of the gas supply cylinder
1) Shut off gas supply.
2) Disconnect hose with regulator from the cylinder.
3) Exchange empty cylinder for a full cylinder.
Gas Instructions
Connecting the Liquid Propane
Cylinder
WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is
closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
Sparks or flames will result in a fire or
explosion that can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution
and a rag or brush to apply it.
1) Connect the hose and regulator.
The regulator illustrations shown in this manual, may not be
similar to the one you are using for your barbecue, due to
different country or region regulations.
Some regulators push ON to connect, and pull OFF to
disconnect, others have a nut that has a left-hand thread
that connects to the cylinder valve. Follow specific regulator
connection instruction.
Position the regulator so that the vent hole faces down.
2) Mix soap and water.
3) Turn on the cylinder valve.
4) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and
water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fitting. Turn
the gas back on and recheck with the soap and water
solution.
If leak does not stop, Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your region using the contact information
sheet provided with your manual. Do not use the barbecue.
5) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply OFF
at the source and rinse connections with water.
