GAS INSTRUCTIONS

ATTACH PROPANE CYLINDER

Use propane cylinders with a capacity of 14.1 oz or 16.4 oz. You can find these tanks in the camping, hardware, plumbing section of the store you are shopping at.

CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked “Propane fuel” only.

Note: Your Weber® gas grill is equipped with a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal.

While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder with one hand, push propane cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise until tight.

DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or flames will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

DANGER

Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. If the instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

After a period of nonuse, we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety.

•Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the procedures outlined in the “General Maintenance” section of this manual.

•Check all gas fittings for leaks.

WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

Note: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame tested.As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill was dealer- or store-assembled.

You will need a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it. To perform leak checks make sure the Burner is in the off position and turn on gas supply.

WARNING: Do not ignite burner while leak checking.

Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Note: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
