information to remember about LP Gas cylinders include:
1. Always read and follow the cylinder manufacturer’s instructions.

LP gas cylinder is approximately 38 lbs. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.

4. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
5. Disconnect the cylinder from the cooker for storage.
6. Store the cylinder out of the reach of children.
7. Do not use or store the cylinder in a building, garage or enclosed area.
8. Always use a 20 lb. cylinder in the proper upright position for the proper vapor withdrawal. It
should also be stored and transported in the upright position.

10. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type
of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

WARNING
LEAK TEST
Before lighting the appliance, a thorough leak test must be satisfactorily completed using a
non-ammonia soapy water solution (50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water). This is to be
applied with a small brush to all gas joints after the cylinder valve is opened (no more than 1/2
turn). If bubbles are seen, indicating a leak, turn off the cylinder and tighten the leaking
connection until a further leak test shows no leaks.
If tightening the connection does not stop the leak, call Metal Fusion, Inc. (800) 783-3885,
for assistance.
NEVER USE HOSE/REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IF LEAKING.
