Gas Container Tips

When Storing:

* Always keep containers upright.
* Never store a spare gas container under or near the grill.
* Never store or use flammable liquids, like gasoline, near the grill.
* Never use or store a gas container indoors.

When Transporting:

* Transport the container in a secure, upright position.
* Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk.
* Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.

When Refilling:

* Unless you have (the preferred) bar-coded container and are filling it at a facility that fills such containers, have the container refilled only by your LP gas dealer or by a qualified service station operator. DO NOT FILL THE CONTAINER YOURSELF.


When Connecting:

* Remove the container valve plug from the container valve.
* Thread the container connector securely into the container valve outlet (turn counterclock-wise).
* Tighten, but do not use excessive force.
* After connected, check for leaks (see above instructions).

When Disconnecting:

* Before disconnecting, turn off the gas burner and container valve.
* Disconnect the container (turn clockwise).
* Place the container valve plug securely into the container valve outlet.
