LP Cylinder Exchange
•Many retailers that sell grills 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 grill.
•Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder
is not in use. Only install the type of safety 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.

•Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is
exchanged or refilled.

away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames
or sparks.
