SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

•Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

•LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

•LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.

•To fi ll, take the LP cylinder to a gas propane dealer, or look up “gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

•Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

•The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

•Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).

Note: A refill will last about 18-20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

•Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

CAUTION: 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.

•Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

•The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refi lled.

•Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

•The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements

•Check to be sure cylinders have a D.O.T. certification (1), and date tested (2) is within fi ve years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

•All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

•The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approximately (18¼ inches high, 12¼ inches in diameter).

•The cylinder should be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifi cations for LP - Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes or Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.

DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

Crossover® Ignition System

Note: The Crossover® Ignition System ignites BURNER 1 with a spark from the igniter electrode inside the Gas Catcher™ ignition chamber. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the electronic ignition button. You will hear it sparking.
