- Hose and Regulator: Inspect the propane hose and regulator regularly for cuts, cracks, or damage. Replace immediately if any damage is found.
- Storage: Disconnect the propane cylinder and store it separately. Clean the stove thoroughly and store it in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
