GAS INSTRUCTIONS
REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refi ll the LP cylinder before it is completely empty.
Removal of the LP cylinder
1)
Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).
2)
Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only.
3)
Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way.
4)
Lift cylinder off.
To refi ll, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder
be fi lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a
qualifi ed attendant, who fi lls the cylinder by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve.
This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion
of the valve.

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 fi ll, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up “gas-propane”
in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
fi lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualifi ed
attendant, who fi lls the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,
make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP
cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling
or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfi lling Prevention
Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible
with your barbecue connection.
•
Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial fi lling.
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 (51.7° C) (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not
leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
Note - A refi ll will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The
fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refi ll before running
out. You do not have to run out before you refi ll.
•
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.
CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the
valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded
portion of the valve.
•
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.
LIQUID PROPANE (LP) CYLINDER(S)
•
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 refi lled.
•
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 LP cylinder and connections supplied with your Weber
®
gas
barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government,
American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories
requirements.
