Installing The Propane Canister - LEHR BV025HH Operator's Manual

INSTALLING THE PROPANE CANISTER

USE THE CORRECT PROPANE CANISTER
Always use propane canisters or "bottles" that are
the correct size. The 17 ounce or 16.4 ounce / 465g
canisters that are approximately 3-7/8 inches
(9.5 cm) in diameter are the correct canisters
(Fig. 4). Do not use smaller diameter canisters as
they will not latch securely to the unit and vibration
may cause damage to the unit and potentially
result in a dangerous leak.

protective plastic cap over the threaded end,
remove it. Make sure the canister clamp is in the
un-latched position.

into the canister clamp until it contacts the
canister stop (Fig. 5).
4. Insert the propane connector onto the threaded
end of the canister and screw it onto threads

tighten. It may be normal to hear or smell a slight
momentary leak of propane as the connector
is being screwed in. Make sure that the connector
is installed tight enough that any leakage stops.
Hand tight is su cient.
