PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
DANGER
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas to the
appliance.
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Open lid.
• If odor continues, keep
away from the appliance
and immediately call your
gas supplier or your fire
department.
1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP gas cylinder can be
dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas cylinder (a hot summer day, gas cylinder left
in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the
cylinder is flammable and can be explosive.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdraw. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank
valve. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion,
leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately
by a liquid propane supplier.
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance.
Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
