Safe handling tips for LP Gas

■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 tank, 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 know this odor.

■LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas that prevent dispersion.

■To fill, take the LP tank to an RV center, or look up gas- propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

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

mWARNING: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is equipped with a quick-disconnect valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.

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

■The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly.

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

Note - A refill will last about 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 tanks with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the tank. Always close the tank valve before disconnecting.

■Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately. See "LP tank requirements".

■The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must be leak tested each time the LP tank is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP tank is refilled.

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

Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s)

■The LP tank and connections supplied with your Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.

■Replacement LP tanks supplied by Weber satisfy the requirements. Check to be sure the tank has a D.O.T. certification, and has been tested within five years.

Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. Figure 9.

If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please call Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
