LP CYLINDER INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
FUELING YOUR GRILL
Before using your grill for the first time, you need to obtain an LP cylinder. New cylinders can be purchased full; empty cylinders can be refilled or exchanged. You may choose to purchase a spare LP cylinder so that you don't run out of fuel in the middle of cooking a meal.
mWARNING: Never store an extra (spare) LP cylinder under or near the Weber® gas grill.
INSTALLING THE LP CYLINDER
LP cylinders can vary based on the shape of the top collar assembly (the metal protective ring around the cylinder valve). Its shape determines how a cylinder will hang
on the cylinder scale. One type of cylinder mounts with the valve facing forward (1). The other type mounts with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (2). To properly install your LP cylinder, first identify what type of cylinder you purchased. Weber recommends LP cylinders with a
47.6lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (cylinder scale).
The LP cylinder is installed inside the base cabinet, on the cylinder scale (right side).
Prepare Grill for Cylinder Installation
A)Check that all burner control knobs are in the off
(
) position. Your grill was shipped with control knobs in the off (
) position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off. If your grill has a side burner, make sure the side burner control knob is turned off.
B)Open base cabinet door.
