2. Safety Nomenclature
2.1 General
Safety of the user and bystanders is one of the main
concerns in designing and developing a new product.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety
features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a
few seconds of thought and a more careful approach
to handling the appliance.
Most accidents are caused by failure to observe basic
safety rules or precautions. An accident can often
be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. As you assemble,
use, or maintain the appliance, you must be alert to
potential hazards. You should also have the necessary
training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or
maintenance procedures.
Improper operation and maintenance of this appliance
could result in a dangerous situation that could cause
injury or death.

3.7.1 LP Cylinder Specications
When purchasing or exchanging an LP cylinder for
this appliance, it must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the applicable standards of the US
and/or Canadian governing agencies.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
• A shut-o valve terminating in a Type 1 LP cylinder
valve outlet.
• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas ow until a positive
seal is obtained.
• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-o valve.
• An overlling prevention device (OPD).
• The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
Note: For use with 20, 30, or 40 lb. cylinders of LP gas only.
3.7.2 Transporting and Relling an LP Cylinder
1. Never transport an LP cylinder inside a car or in
the trunk of a car. Use an open vehicle, such as a
pickup truck.
2. Allow only qualied LP gas dealers to properly ll
or repair the LP cylinder. DO NOT OVER FILL.
WARNING
!
3. Check the dates on the cylinder collar, and if the
cylinder is past its re-qualication date, return it
for a new LP cylinder. Do not rell an out-of-date
LP cylinder.
3.7.3 Using an LP Cylinder
1. Never use the LP cylinder in a position other
than upright. Do not lay an LP cylinder on its side
during use.
2. Propane gas is heavier than air and will collect
in low areas. Proper ventilation is extremely
important.
3. When the appliance is not in use, the gas must
be turned OFF by closing the LP cylinder valve
and the gas pressure shuto valve.
4. Before storing the appliance after use, always
disconnect the LP cylinder.
5. Never use an LP cylinder if it shows signs of
dents, gouges, bulges, re damage, corrosion,
leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual
external damage. The cylinder may be hazardous
and should be checked by a qualied LP supplier.
3.7.4 Storing an LP Cylinder
1. LP cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of
reach of children, and must not be stored in
a human dwelling place, garage, or any other
enclosed area.
2. Never place a connected LP cylinder under the
appliance.
3. Do not store an LP cylinder within 10 feet (3m)
