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 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 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

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 7.

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

D.O.T. Certification (example)

DOT 4BA240

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.

Date Tested

■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 cylinder. 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.

■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.

Figure 7

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

■The LP tank must be a 20 lb size (18 1/4 inches high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter).

■The LP tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).

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.
