LP GAS CYLINDER

• Use only a 20 pound LP Gas Cylinder or smaller with a protective collar.

• LP (propane) gas is colorless, tasteless, heavier than air, and is both flammable and explosive. Combustion of propane

consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. Therefore, never operate an outdoor cooker

appliance inside a building or confined area where ventilation may be restricted. Make sure the LP cylinder and the

cooker are placed in an open area. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Never use a gas cylinder if it shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, erosion, leakage, excessive rust,

or other forms of visible external damage. The cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by a qualified

liquid propane supplier.

• Never attach a gas cylinder, move or alter fittings while cooker is hot or in operation.

• Do not attempt to disconnect the regulator hose assembly while cooker is in operation.

• When cooker use is complete, always turn the LP cylinder valve OFF first, then turn the regulator control valve OFF.

Turning the cylinder OFF first allows remaining gas to flow out of the regulator hose assembly before the regulator

control valve is turned OFF.

and left outdoors. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
