" Using the proper size of wrench, make sure that allconnections are tight. Remember that fittings onflammable gas cylinders have left-hand threads,requiring effort In a counterclockwise direction totighten. To make sure that connections are tight,apply a soapy solution to detect leaks. If any bub­bles are produced the connections must be tight­ened further.

" Make sure that grease is not allowed to drip on thehose or cylinders.

• Never allow children to use a gas-fired barbeque.

" Never use a gas-fired barbecue inside any structure.

" Never store any LPG cylinder-attached to thebarbecue, or spares-inside any partofa structure,including porches and balconies.

• Store cylinders, including those attached to bar­becues, outdoors in a shaded, cool area out ofdirect sunlight.

**Immediately after using the 1ighterfluid, replace the fluid containerin it's storage location. Do notset it down by the grill.

**NEVER USE GASULINE TO QUICKEN ACHARCOAL FIRE. Don1t add a charcoalstarter fluid to the fire afterit has begun. The f Iames can t rave 1up to the can and cause an explosion.

**Always keep starter fluid in containerswith chi ldproof caps, and keepthem out of reach of children.

**Don't wear loose clothing or robesaround charcoal grills. Flaminggrease can ignite your clothing.

**Keep a smal I spray can of waterhandy to douse flaming grease.A spray bottle, such as used forsprinkling clothes, filled withwater is excellent for this.
