Weber 89796 manual Gas Instructions

10 GAS INSTRUCTIONS

Some LP tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front

(a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (b). See Illustration.

The LP cylinder is installed inside the tank enclosure or tank cabinet, on the tank scale.

1)Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear of the Weber® gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.

2)Lift tank up into position on the tank scale.

3)Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

To Connect the hose to the cylinder:

4)Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.

5)Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Hand- tighten only.

Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.

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

You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.

6)Mix soap and water.

7)Turn on the cylinder valve.

8)Check for leaks by wetting the fi tting with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.

If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fi tting. Turn the gas back on and recheck with the soap and water solution.

If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

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

WARNING: Check the hose before each use of the grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Summit® authorized replacement hose. Contact the Summit® Built-In Customer Service at 1-800-446-1071.

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

•Check all gas fi ttings for leaks.

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 open flames will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

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 Barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

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

You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.

Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly cor- rosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

Make sure side burner is OFF.

To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-wheel counterclockwise.

WARNING: Do not ignite burners when 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.
