• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in

enclosed areas.

• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled

spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas

released from the safety relief valve. The safety relief

valve on a LP tank could activate releasing gas and

cause a fire, resulting in serious injury, property

damage or death.

• If you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately

get away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire

department.

• All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on

the LP tank outlet.

• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not

possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.

• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may

result. If a grease fire develops turn knobs and LP tank

off.

• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or

burning off on high. If grill has not been regularly

cleaned a grease fire can occur that may damage the
