Safe handling tips for LP Gas ■ Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas. ■ LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should know this odor. ■ LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas that prevent dispersion. ■ To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center, or look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas, to fill the tank with 20 pounds of liquid propane. WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled by an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS. ■ Air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this. ■ The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly. ■ Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day). Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill. ■ Treat "empty" LP tanks with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the tank valve before disconnecting. WARNING: When transporting a full or empty LP tank, use the protective plug provided. Screw it tightly into the tank valve (counterclockwise). ■ Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately. See below for LP tank requirements. ■ The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must be leak tested each time the LP tank is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP tank is refilled. ■ Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc. 27

tips
for
LP
Gas
■
Liquid
Propane
(LP)
gas
is
a
petroleum
product
as
are
gasoline
and
natural
gas.
LP
gas
is
a
gas
at
regular
temperatures
and
pressures.
Under
moderate
pressure,
inside
a
cylinder,
LP
gas
is
a
liquid.
As
the
pressure
is
released
the
liquid
readily
vaporizes
and
becomes
gas.
■
LP
gas
has
an
odor
similar
to
natural
gas.
You
should
know
this
odor.
■
LP
gas
is
heavier
than
air.
Leaking
LP
gas
may
collect
in
low
areas
that
prevent
dispersion.
■
To
fill,
take
the
LP
tank
and
filler
adapter
to
an
RV
center,
or
look
up
gas
-propane
in
the
phone
book
for
other
sources
of
LP
gas,
to
fill
the
tank
with
20
pounds
of
liquid
propane.
WARNING:
We
recommend
that
your
LP
tank
be
filled
by
an authorized
LP
gas
dealer,
by
a
qualified
attendant,
who
fills
the
tank
by
weight.
IMPROPER
FILLING
IS
DANGEROUS.
■
Air
must
be
removed
from
a
new
LP
tank
before
the
initial
filling.
Your
LP
dealer
is
equipped
to
do
this.
■
The
LP
tank
must
be
installed,
transported
and
stored
in
an
upright
position.
LP
tanks
should
not
be
dropped
or
handled
roughly.
■
Never
store
or
transport
the
LP
tank
where
temperatures
can
reach
125°
F
(too
hot
to
hold
by
hand
-
for
example:
do
not
leave
the
LP
tank
in
a
car
on
a
hot
day).
Note
-
A
refill
will
last
about
20
hours
of
cooking
time
at
normal
use.
The
fuel
scale
will
indicate
the
propane
supply
so
you
can
refill
before
running
out.
You
do
not
have
to
run
out
before
you
refill.
■
Treat
"empty"
LP
tanks
with
the
same
care
as
when
full.
Even
when
the
LP
tank
is
empty
of
liquid
there
still
may
be
gas
pressure
in
the
cylinder.
Always
close
the
tank
valve
before
disconnecting.
WARNING:
When
transporting
a
full
or
empty
LP
tank,
use
the
protective
plug
provided.
Screw
it
tightly
into
the
tank
valve
(counterclockwise).
■
Do
not
use
a
damaged
LP
tank.
Dented
or
rusty
LP
tanks
or
LP
tanks
with
a
damaged
valve
may
be
hazardous
and
should
be
replaced
with
a
new
one
immediately.
See
below
for
LP
tank
requirements.
■
The
joint
where
the
hose
connects
to
the
LP
tank
must
be
leak
tested
each
time
the
LP
tank
is
reconnected.
For
example,
test
each
time
the
LP
tank
is
refilled.
■
Be
sure
the
regulator
is
mounted
with
the
small
vent
hole
pointed
downward
so
it
will
not
collect
water.
This
vent
should
be
free
of
dirt,
grease,
bugs
etc.
