WARNING
!
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW
AREAS, INCREASING THE ABOVE RISKS. THEREFORE:
•
ALWAYS
use the cylinder cap provided with your cylinder whenever
the cylinder is not connected to your barbeque. (Figure 4)
•
DO NOT
store in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Store
in a well-ventilated area.
•
DO NOT
store near any gas burning apparatus or in any high-heat
areas such as a closed car or trunk.
• Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position – do not tip on its
side.
• Store out of reach of children.
•
DO NOT
smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
WARNING
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder 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 cylinder/appliance and call your fire
department.
ALTHOUGH IT IS SAFE WHEN USED
PROPERLY, CARELESS HANDLING OF THE
PROPANE GAS CYLINDER COULD RESULT IN
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.
FILLING:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN
OPTIONAL L.P. GAS CYLINDER
WAS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
BARBEQUE, IT HAS BEEN SHIPPED
EMPTY. THE CYLINDER MUST BE
PURGED OF AIR AND FILLED
PRIOR TO USING ON YOUR
BARBEQUE. WHEN GETTING YOUR
CYLINDER FILLED:
• Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair your cylinder.
•
DO NOT
allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% full.
• Make sure the L.P. gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after
filling.
LP CYLINDER EXCHANGE
Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your
empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and
certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped cylinder as described in the "LP Cylinder" section of
this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE connecting to
grill.
