• Many retailers that sell
this appliance
offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service.
Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect,
precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your
cylinder only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder
as described in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE
connecting to the appliance.
•Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is
not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve
outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
