TYPE OF GAS
Your natural gas grill is factory built to operate using natural gas only. Never attempt to operate your grill on gases other than the type specified on the grill rating plates.
Your grill operates at 7” of water column pressure. If replacement of the hose becomes necessary, factory specified parts are required. See your local dealer.
For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a Weber® grill from operation using Natural gas to operation using LP gas requires the change out of the entire gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary, see your dealer for additional information.
WHAT IS NATURAL GAS?
Natural gas, often called methane, is a safe modern fuel. Natural gas is supplied by your local utility and should be readily available if your house is already heated with gas.
PORTABLE INSTALLATION
Weber® recommends moving the grill at least two (2) feet from the gas supply and any combustible surfaces. After the gas supply has been run and checked for leaks in accordance to the assembly instructions, you are ready to grill. To connect the hose to the gas supply, pull back the outer fitting, insert the hose fitting all of the way, and release the outer fitting. This process will produce a gas joint.
