Make sure the grill is shut off and cool to the touch before covering it after use.
Always use or store cylinders outdoors in an upright, vertical position.
When you fill or exchange your cylinder, have your supplier check for dents, damage, rust or leaks.
Check for leaks and loose connections each time before starting a grill by applying a leak detection solution or a mixture of soap and water to the hoses and connections.
Escaping gas will create bubbles.
