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,
garage, 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 posi-
tion, 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 regard-
ing different types of gases should be directed to your
local gas supplier.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1. In Canada, installation shall be in accordance
with CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code, or
CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code, and
local codes where applicable. Consult your local gas
supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations and
recommended procedures.
Warning: Broilmaster
® Deluxe 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 sup-
plied with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are com-
patible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well
as external fitting threads.
