GAS INSTRUcTIoNS
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP
gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside
a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes
and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent
dispersion.
• To fill, take the LP cylinder to a gas propane dealer, or look up “gas-propane” in the
phone book for other sources of LP gas.
m WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled
at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant,
who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS
DANGEROUS.
• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is
equipped to do this.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP
cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too
hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
Note: A refill will last about 18-20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale, a
feature on some of our grills, will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before
running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.
• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank
is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the
cylinder valve before disconnecting.
m CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders
with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately.
• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time
the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.
• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it
will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.
• The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas appliance have been designed
and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.
m WARNING: Replacement LP tanks must match the regulator
connection supplied with this Weber® gas appliance.
Liquid Propane Cylinder Requirements
• Check to be sure cylinders have a D.O.T. certification (1), and date tested (2) is within
five years of use. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.
• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approximately 18¼ inches high, 12¼ inches in
diameter.
• The cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications
for LP - Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes or
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.
Canadian Liquid Propane Cylinder Requirements
Note: Your retailer can help you match a replacement tank to your barbecue.
• The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders, T.C.

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION
m DANGER
®
NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near Weber
gas
appliances. NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to
follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing
death or serious injury.
Weber® gas appliances are equipped for a cylinder supply system designed for vapor
withdrawal.
m WARNING: Only use Weber® gas appliances 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.
If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off.
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.
m WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.
Close by turning valve clockwise.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
m 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.
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.
m WARNING: The gas connections of your gas grill have been
factory tested. We do however recommend that you leak
check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or store assembled.
If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is turned off.
Turn on gas supply at source.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
You will need: A soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
A) Mix soap and water.
B) Turn on gas supply (1).
C) 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
D) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse
connections with water.
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.
m WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
