open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50 soap

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.

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.

8. Perform leak check on regulator to
oven, hose to regulator and hose to
cylinder connections with soapy water.
Arrows indicate areas to be checked
for leaks. Bubbles indicate a leak.
Check that the connection is not cross-
threaded and that it is tight. Perform
another leak check. If there is still a
leak, remove the cylinder and contact
the manufacturer for service and repair.
9. Turn off fuel at the cylinder and
disconnect both ends of the hose when
not in use.
Dismantling Hose And

Lighting Oven Instructions:
Do not lean over the Oven while
lighting.
1. Push the gas valve knob in and turn
slowly to the high position. The
Oven Burner will ignite. (If lighting
with a match, light match and place
it over the burner. Slowly turn on
the valve. Do not stand with head or
arms over the burner.)
2. Keep handle depressed for 10
seconds.
3. If the burner does not stay lit repeat
the process.
4. Adjust the controls to the desired
position.
5. If ignition does not occur in 5
seconds, turn the burner control(s)
off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the
lighting procedure. If built-in ignitor
will not light follow the preceding
steps and hold a lit long igniter
to match next to the burner when
opening the control valve.
If the flame is accidentally
extinguished, turn the appliance
valves OFF and WAIT 5 minutes before
attempting to ignite.
Burner Flame Check
• Light burner; rotate knob from HIGH
to LOW. You should see a smaller
flame in LOW position than seen on
HIGH. Always check flame prior to
each use. A good flame should be
blue with minimal yellow tip. Some
yellow tips on flames are acceptable
as long as no carbon or soot deposits
appear.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear,
do not use or move the LP tank.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your
fire department.
