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.
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
