1. Place LP tank

secure,

level, and stable

surface.

2. Turn control knob

to the OFF position.

3. Turn

tank

OFF

by turning

hand wheel

clockwise to

a full stop.

4. Remove the

p r o t e c t i v e

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.

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.

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.

(B) Nipple has to

be centered into

the LP tank valve

nut and regulator

as shown for

proper connection

to LP tank 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.

Leak Testing Valves, Hoses and

Regulator
1. Turn all control knob(s) to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected

to LP tank.

3. Completely open LP tank valve

by turning hand wheel counter

clockwise. If you hear a rushing

sound, turn gas off immediately.

There is a major leak at the connection.

Correct before proceeding.

4. Brush soapy

solution onto

i n d i c a t e d

connections

shown at right.

5. If “growing”

bubbles appear,

there is a leak. Close LP tank

valve immediately and retighten

connections. If leaks cannot be

stopped, do not try to repair. Call

for replacement parts. Order new

parts by giving the serial number,

model number and name of items

WarninG

If “growing” bubbles appear, do

not use or move the LP tank.

Contact an LP gas supplier or your

fire department.
