• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
This OPD safety feature is identified by a
unique triangular hand wheel. Use only tanks
equipped with this type of valve.
LP tank must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
• LP gas is non-toxic, odorless and colorless
when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas
has been given an odor (similar to rotten
cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite
unexpectedly when mixed with air.
LP Tank Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tanks before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than
80% of LP tank volume. Volume of propane
in tanks will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill.
Immediately close LP tank valve and call
local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas
into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous
practice.
• To remove gas from LP tank, contact an
LP dealer or call a local fire department for
assistance. Check the telephone directory
under “Gas companies” for nearest certified
LP dealers.
LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell appliances offer you
the option of replacing your empty LP tanks
through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect,
precision fill, test and certify their cylinders.
Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the
“LP Tank” section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks
in upright position during use, transit or
storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks
BEFORE connecting to appliance.
LP Tank Leak Test
