L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device
shuts off the flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential
for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder
outlet specified, as applicable, for connecti
on No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas
cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill
protection device and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission.
L.P. TANK USE
When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2)
complete turns to ensure proper gas ow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a
leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly,
it shuts o the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak,
causing the safety device to activate, restricting gasow and causing lowames.
Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve
is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the oven. If there
is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being
used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Only a qualifie
d gas supplier should
refill the L.P. tank.
• 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.
WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or
near the oven. Never ll the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a re
causing death or serious injury may occur.
