• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 130 degrees
Fahrenheit (54.4 degrees Celsius).
• The Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ Artisan Pizza Oven requires that the LP cylinder be
20-lb. Size (18 ¼ inches high, 12 ¼ inches in diameter).
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
• The LP cylinder used with the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ Artisan Pizza Oven must
be:
o Constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and
o Provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
o Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for
outdoor cooking appliances.
o Provided with a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
o Arranged for vapor withdrawal.
• A refill will last about 30 hours of cooking time at normal use. The tank does not need to
be empty before it is refilled.
• Treat “empty” LP tanks with the same care as full tanks. 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.
• Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP tanks or LP tanks with a damaged
valve or hose may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.
• Inspect the hose before each use of the pizza oven.
• If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced
prior to the pizza oven being put into operation.
• The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must be leak tested each time the LP
tank is reconnected.
• The LP connections supplied with the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ Artisan Pizza
Oven have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association,
and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.
• If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please call Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet’s
Customer Service Department at (800) 868-1699.
CONNECTING THE FILLED LP TANK / LEAK TESTING
WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank valve is closed by turning it
clockwise.
DANGER: Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. This
will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
