under or near this appliance.
2. NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
3. If the instructions in 1 and 2 are not
followed exactly, a fire causing serious
injury or death may occur.
The safety release valve on the LP tank
could activate the leaking of gas and
cause a severe fire and increase the risk
of serious injury or death.
DANGER LP TANK REMOVAL, TRANSPORT AND
STORAGE
1. Turn control knobs and LP tank valve OFF.
Turn coupling nut counterclockwise by hand
only. Never use tools to disconnect.
2. Place dust cap on cylinder
valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only
install the type of dust 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.
3. A disconnected LP tank in storage or
being transported must have a safety cap
installed.
4. The cylinder must be stored outdoors out
of reach of children. NEVER store the
cylinder in enclosed spaces such as a
garage, carport, covered porch or any other
structure.
5. When the appliance is not in use, the gas
must be turned offat the supply cylinder.
6. Storage of an appliance indoors is
permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the

LP TANK
The LP tank must meet the following
requirements in order to be used with
your appliance:
• Measurements must be 12”
(30.5 cm) in diameter by 18”
(45.7 cm) high with 20 lb
(9.1 kg) maximum capacity.
• The LP gas supply
cylinder to be used must
be constructed and
marked in accordance
with the Specifications for
LP Gas Cylinders of the US Department
of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard
Dust Cap
WARNINGS: LP TANK
• If you smell, see or hear leaking gas,
IMMEDIATELY get away from the LP tank
and contact your FIRE DEPARTMENT
(911).
• Only cylinders marked “propane” shall be
used.
• Never use a cylinder with a damaged body,
valve, collar or footing. Dented or rusted
cylinders may be hazardous and should
be checked by your LP gas supplier before
use. The cylinder should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
• Never keep a cylinder in a hot car or
trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to
increase which may open the relief valve
and allow gas to escape.
DANGER
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP):
• LP gas is odorless, non-toxic and colorless
when produced. For your safety, LP gas has
been given an odor (similar to rotten eggs) so
you can smell if there is any leaking.
• LP gas is highly flammable and can
unexpectedly ignite when combined with air.

LEAK TESTING
If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a
leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and
retighten connections. If leaks cannot be
stopped, do not try to repair. IMMEDIATELY
turn offLP tank valve. If bubbles continue,
IMMEDIATELY get away from the LP tank
and contact your FIRE DEPARTMENT (911).
WARNING
STEPS TO LEAK TEST:
1. Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50 soap and
water solution. Use mild soap and water.
DO NOT use household cleaning agents.
Damage to gas train components could
result.
2. Brush soapy solution onto all metal seams
and entire valve area of LP tank. Slowly turn
the LP tank valve counterclockwise to the
open position. At the first sign of bubbles
around the tank connection, immediately
turn the valve offby turning clockwise. After
10 seconds, turn the LP tank valve to the
offposition and continue to watch for any
bubbles. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD THE VALVE REMAIN IN THE
OPEN POSITION FOR MORE THAN 12
SECONDS.
3. If bubbles are observed at the valve
attachment, you may attempt to tighten
the valve and repeat the test from the
beginning after waiting 5 minutes.
4. Brush soapy solution onto shaded areas
shown below.
