Fill 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 LP tank to an RV center (or some other source
of LP gas) to fill the tank with
only 5 lbs
of
liquid propane.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air
must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial
filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.
CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make
sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank 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".
Note - A refill will last for approximately 150 lightings at
normal use (each lighting lasting 3 to 5 minutes). LP
tank does not have to be empty before refilling.
