Propane Gas Grill Safety Tips

Propane Grill Do’s

Always use the grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Always follow all the manufacturer’s instructions and keep written materials and manuals in a safe, accessible place.
Make sure the grill burner controls are turned off and keep the cylinder valve closed when not in use.
Make sure the gas grill is shut off and completely cooled before covering it after use.
Always use or store cylinders in an upright, vertical position. Be sure to store them outdoors away from sources of ignition (i.e. heat, matches, or lighters).
When a cylinder is refilled, have the supplier check for dents, damage, rust, or leaks.
After filling, take the cylinder home immediately. While transporting, keep the vehicle ventilated with the cylinder valve closed and plugged or capped.
When a grill is not in use, cover disconnected hose-end fittings and burner air intakes with small plastic bags, or obtain protective fitting caps from the propane gas retailer to keep out dirt, insects, and moisture.
Before lighting a propane gas grill burner, use a leak-detection solution to check all connections for tightness. Contact a local propane gas retailer to obtain the leak-detection solution and instructions on how to use it.
If there is a significant and uncontrollable release of gas or fire, call the fire department immediately and move all people and pets away from the unit.

Propane Grill Don’ts

Do not bring cylinders indoors or into an enclosed space such as a garage.
Do not smoke while handling the propane cylinder.
Do not leave the cylinder in a vehicle.
Do not use matches or lighters to check for leaks.
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or grill.
Do not use, store, or transport a cylinder where it could be exposed to high temperatures.
(This includes storing spare cylinders under or near the grill.)
