Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use
when the safety precautions provided in this manual are
followed.
Failure to follow these safety precautions could result
in a fire or explosion causing property damage or
personal injury.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored,
and transported with extreme caution in a secured upright
position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has
been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cylinder with
a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been
dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the
passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any
other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable,
qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by
weight, and should never exceed eighty (80%) percent of its
weight limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas
dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not
overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area
if the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug
tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, ga-
rage, or other enclosed area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must not
be stored in the cylinder enclosure.
Always store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position,
out of the reach of children.
Caution: Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill
designed for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed
for Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different
types of gases should be directed to your local gas sup-
plier.
Installation must conform to local codes or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.
Warning: Broilmaster Premium Gas Grills require Liq-
uid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill
Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly
filled Propane cylinder can be dangerous.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compat-
ible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as
external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster pressure regulators and hose assemblies
require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device
as illustrated. Figure 14.
