PROPANE GAS GRILLS
Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use
when the safety precautions provided in this manual are
followed.
Failure to follow these safety precautions could result
in a fire or explosion causing property damage or per-
sonal injury.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored,
and transported with extreme caution in a secured upright
position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that
has been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cyl-
inder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that
has been dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must be
replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the
passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any
other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable,
qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by
weight, and should never exceed eighty percent (80%) of its
weight limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas
dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not
overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area if
the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug
tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, ga-
rage, or other enclosed area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must not
be stored in the cylinder enclosure.
Always store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position,
out of the reach of children.

local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada, installation shall be in accordance with CAN/

for code regulations and recommended procedures.
