LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell Patio Ovens offer you the op-
tion of replacing your empty LP tank through an ex-
change service. Use only those reputable exchange
companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify
their tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the "LP Tank"
section of this manual on page 5.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to Patio Oven.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
