LP GAS CYLINDER INFORMATION
NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS COOKER
DANGER
• Never store spare LP gas cylinder near your cooker. This could cause excess pressure to be expelled
through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal injur
y, including death.
NOTE: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAT AIR AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS. PROPER VENTILATION IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
• LP (propane) gas is colorless, tasteless, heavier than air, and is both flammable and explosive. DO NOT
expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.
• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from obstruction and debris.
• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the back-check could result.
A damaged back-check can cause a leak, possibly resulting in explosion, fire, severe personal
injury, bodily harm or death.
• DO NOT connect this cooker to a natural gas supply line.
DANGER
Combustion of propane consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide,
an odorless poisonous gas. Using it in an enclosed space can kill you.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent,
boat, car or home.
