Never take propane grill usage, storage and transportation lightly. Hundreds of fires and injuries occur annually from gas grill fires and explosions.
- Start right. Obtain propane only from reputable compressed gas suppliers.
- Before filling check propane cylinder for damage.
- Always check for leaks when replacing cylinders. NEVER use a grill until all leaks are repaired.
- Check burner tubes regularly for blockages.
- Make sure all connections are secure BEFORE turning on the gas.
- Keep the lid open when starting. Gas can accumulate and may cause an explosion upon ignition.
- NEVER store propane cylinders indoors or near any heat source.
- NEVER transport or store propane cylinders in the trunk of your automobile.
- Always shut off the propane fuel at the grill AND the bottle.
- If there is a fire involving the tank, evacuate immediately and call 911.
