GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

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

 NEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this

barbecue.

 NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER

Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

Preserve Your Stainless Steel - Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves

may be made from stainless steel. To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter. Clean it with soap and water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. For stubborn particles, the use of a non-metallic brush can be used.

 IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners

on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause scratches.

 IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe

in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless steel.

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.

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.

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.

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). Weber recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and Worthington, with a

47.6 lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see illustrations).

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

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

gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

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. Handtighten 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 fitting 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 fitting. 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®.

9) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse connections with water.

CHECK FOR GAS 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 corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is off. To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve handwheel 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.
