WARNING
LP GAS CYLINDER
• Use only a 20 pound LP Gas Cylinder or smaller with a protective collar. Never use with natural gas.
• LP (propane) gas is colorless, tasteless, heavier than air, and is both flammable and explosive.
Combustion of propane consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas.
Therefore, never operate an outdoor gas appliance inside a building or confined area where
ventilation may be restricted. Make sure the LP cylinder and the appliance are placed in an open
area. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Never use a gas cylinder if it shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, erosion, leakage,
excessive rust, or other forms of visible external damage. The cylinder may be hazardous and
should be checked by a qualified liquid propane supplier.
• Never attach a gas cylinder, move or alter fittings while fryer is hot or in operation.
• Do not attempt to disconnect the regulator hose assembly while fryer is in operation.
• When use is complete, always turn the LP cylinder valve OFF first, then turn the regulator control
valve OFF. Turning the cylinder OFF first allows remaining gas to flow out of the regulator hose
assembly before the regulator control valve is turned OFF.
• DO NOT use external electrical sources with this appliance.
• Storage of this appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed
from the appliance and left outdoors. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children
and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1,
Propane Storage and Handling, CSA B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehciles, ANSI
A119.2/NFPA 1192 and the Recreational Vehicle Code, CSA z240 RV Series.
