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
For your Safety
• Leak test must be repeated each
time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check
for gas leaks.
• Appliance must be leak checked
outdoors in well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as
gas fired or electrical appliances.
During leak test, keep appliance
away from open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50
soap and water solution. Use
mild soap and water. Do not use
household cleaning agents. Damage
to gas train components can result.
Brush soapy solution onto all weld
seams and entire valve area.

WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear, do

Connecting Regulator To The
LP Tank
Only use the pressure regulator &
hose supplied with this appliance.
See assembly instructions or
appliance name tag for regulator
model number.
1. Place LP tank on a
secure, level, and
stable surface.
2. Turn control knob
to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF
by turning hand
wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from
LP tank valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
Do not use a POL transport plug
(plastic part with external threads)!
It will defeat the safety feature of the
valve.
5. Hold regulator,
insert nipple
(B) into LP
tank valve.
Hand tighten
coupling
nut, holding
regulator in a straight line (C) with
LP tank valve so as not to cross
thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise
to tighten to a full solid stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-
check feature in LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance.
An additional one-half to three
quarters turn is required to
complete connection. Tighten by
hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete
connection, disconnect regulator
and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you
are still unable to complete the
connection, do not use
this regulator!
• Do not insert any foreign objects
into the valve outlet. You may
damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result
in explosion, fire, severe personal
injury, or death.
• Never attempt to attach this
appliance to the self-contained LP
gas system of a camper or trailer
or motor home.
