Step 13

Set LP fuel scale

You will need: LP tank (empty).

Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an empty tank.

We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in Figure 15.

Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held up out of the way. Figure 15 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 15 (b).

mCAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from tank scale.

After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

Step 14

Fill LP tank

Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank. If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center.

To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter 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.

Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.

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.

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

LP Gas Barbecue, 1000 SERIES specifications

The Weber 1000 Series grills are a popular choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts, delivering a combination of performance, durability, and innovative features. Designed to cater to both beginners and experienced grillers, the 1000 Series elevates cooking experiences with its user-friendly interface and high-quality manufacturing.

One of the standout features of the Weber 1000 Series is its powerful heating capability. Equipped with Weber's signature burners, these grills provide even heat distribution for consistent cooking results. The high-BTU gas burners ensure quick preheating and maintain steady temperatures, allowing users to sear steaks or grill vegetables to perfection.

The construction of the 1000 Series is robust, typically featuring a stainless steel main body that stands up to the weather elements, providing longevity and resistance to rust. The grills are designed for easy maintenance, with removable grease trays that make clean-up a breeze. Additionally, the enameled cast-iron cooking grates are not only durable but also contribute to excellent heat retention, giving food those coveted grill marks.

Another key technology incorporated in the Weber 1000 Series is the Flavorizer bars. These angled bars sit above the burners and catch drippings that can cause flare-ups. By converting these drippings into flavorful smoke, the Flavorizer bars enhance the taste of the grilled food. This feature is particularly appreciated by those who enjoy rich, smoky flavors in their dishes.

The series often includes features such as side tables for extra workspace, ensuring that you have enough room for food preparation and grilling tools. Some models also come with built-in thermometers that allow for precise temperature monitoring without lifting the lid, which helps to maintain cook times and prevents heat loss.

In terms of mobility, Weber 1000 Series grills often come equipped with wheels, making it easy to move the grill around your patio or backyard. With different configurations available, including both propane and natural gas options, users can choose the fuel type that best fits their grilling needs.

In conclusion, the Weber 1000 Series stands out for its combination of power, durability, and innovative features that simplify grilling while enhancing flavor. Whether you are hosting a backyard barbecue or having an intimate family dinner, the 1000 Series offers the performance and reliability that every grill master seeks. With its sleek design and thoughtfully engineered capabilities, this series continues to be a top choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts.
