Step 16Fill 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.
Take the LPtank to an RV center (or some other source
of LP gas) to fill the tank with 20 pounds of liquid
propane.
WARNING: We recommend that your LPtank be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your LPdealer that this is a new LP tank. The air
must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial
filling. Your LPtank dealer is equipped to do this.
CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make
sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LPtank is
equipped with a quick-disconnect valve. 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.
Never store or transport the LP tank where
temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to
hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in
a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see
Section "Operating Instructions".
