LP Tank
The LP tank used with your appliance must meet
the following requirements:
• Purchase LP tanks only with these required
measurements: 12" (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18"
(45.7cm) (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 the National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous
Goods.
• The propane cylinder used with this appliance
must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.
LP tank valve must have:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or
appliance.
• 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.
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, 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
• Many retailers that sell appliances offer you the
option of replacing your empty LP tanks through
an exchange service. Use only those 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 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
WARNING
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.
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.
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.

the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your
fire department.
