This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure.

Safety Practices & Precautions For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use.
Gas Requi rements Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either FIG.01 Natural Gas (36BQR Shown) natural or L.P., and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the inside back wall of the Grill.
