GAS INSTRUCTIONS

TEST CONNECTIONS

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

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

FILL LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

To fill, take the liquid propane cylinder and filler adapter to an RV center or look up gas- propane in the phone book for other sources of liquid propane gas.

WARNING: We recommend that your liquid propane cylinder be filled at an authorized liquid propane gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.

IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position, and should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures can reach 125°F / 51°C (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day).

For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see Section “Operating”.

DANGER

NEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this barbecue.

NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full.

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

WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging and filling instructions on the LP cylinder before attempting to fill.

LEAK CHECK PREPARATION

CHECK THAT ALL BURNER VALVES ARE OFF

Valves are shipped in the “OFF” position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. Proceed to the next step. If they do turn continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off. Proceed to the next step.

CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

All Weber® liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the coupling.

WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.

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.
