USE AND CARE
DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near
the appliance or in an enclosed area.
•
Never fill a tank beyond 80% full.
•
If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.
•
An overfilled or improperly stored tank is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the
safety relief valve. This could cause an intense
fire with risk of property damage, serious injury
or death.
•
If you see, smell or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away from the LP tank and
appliance and call your fire department.
LP Tank Removal, Transport and Storage
• Turn OFF all control knobs and the LP tank valve. Turn
coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use
tools to disconnect. Lift LP tank retainer strap upward off
the LP tank collar, then lift the LP tank up and off of the
support bracket. Install the safety cap onto the LP tank
valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with the valve.
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in
serious personal injury and/or property damage.
LP Tank Valve

have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP
tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch,
covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank
inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.
