Propane Safety Tips

• Always follow grill manufacturer’s instructions and keep written materials accessible.
• When lighting a grill, make sure grill top is open.
• Always use or store cylinders outdoors in an upright (vertical) position.
• When the cylinder is refilled, have the supplier check for dents, damage, rust, or leaks.
• Before connecting or lighting a propane gas grill, use a leak-detection solution to check connections for tightness. Do not use matches or lighters to check for leaks. Your propane gas supplier has leak-detection solutions and instructions.
• After filling or exchanging, take the cylinder home immediately. Keep the vehicle ventilated and the cylinder valve closed and capped.
• If there is an uncontrollable release of gas, call the fire department.
• Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or grill.
• Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder.
• When not in use, grill burner controls should be turned off and cylinder valve closed.
• Do not use, store, or transport cylinders near high temperatures (this includes storing spare cylinders near the grill).
• When the grill is not in use, cover disconnected hose-end fittings with small, plastic bags or protective caps to keep clean.
