IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS

WHAT IS LP GAS?

Liquefied petroleum gas, also called
LPG, LP gas, liquid propane, or
simply propane, is the flammable,
petroleum-based product used to
fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate
temperatures and pressure when
it is not contained. But at moderate
pressure inside a container, such as
a cylinder, LP is a liquid. As pressure
is released from the cylinder, the
liquid readily vaporizes and becomes
LP gas.
• LP has an odor similar to natural
gas. You should be aware of this
odor.
• LP is heavier than air. Leaking LP
gas may collect in low areas and
resist dispersion.
m DANGER
NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or
near Weber gas appliances. Failure to
®
follow this statement exactly may result in a
fire causing death or serious injury.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LP GAS
CYLINDERS
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you
need to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow
these instructions before using your Weber
• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.
• Handle "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as
you handle full cylinders. Even when an LP cylinder is
empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside
the cylinder.
• 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) (the cylinder
will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do
not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.
• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The
valve and orifice are designed exclusively for liquefied
petroleum gas.
• The LP-gas supply cylinder to be used must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP-gas cylinders, U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
• The cylinder supply system used with this product
must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while,
it is important to follow these guidelines:
• Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) it is empty; 2) the grill is
being stored in a garage or other enclosed area; 3) the
grill is being transported; 4) the grill is not in use.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet when cylinder
is not in use.
• Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
• The Weber gas grill should be checked for gas leaks
®
and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is
used. (Refer to "PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL and
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.")
• Check that the areas under the cookbox are free from
debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or
ventilation air.
US INSTALLATION CODES
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION CODES
These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not
necessarily comply with the Canadian installation codes,
particularly with piping above and below ground. In
Canada, the installation of this appliance must comply
with local codes and/or the latest edition of Standard
CAN/CSA-B149.2 (Propane Storage and Handling Code).
NOTE: Your retailer can help you match a replacement
cylinder to your grill.
REGULATOR CONNECTIONS
Your Weber gas grill is equipped with a pressure

regulator, which is a device to control and maintain
uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LP
cylinder. Each Weber

• The regulator supplied with the Weber
be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water
column pressure.
FUELING YOUR GRILL
Before using your grill for the first time, you need to
purchase an LP cylinder. 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.
INSTALLING THE LP CYLINDER
Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of either
14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. equipped with a CGA #600 connection.
m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked
"Propane Fuel" only.
A) Make sure regulator control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the OFF
position (1).
B) Push the disposable cylinder into regulator and turn
clockwise until tight (2).
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to
tighten the connection. Using a wrench
could damage the regulator coupling and
could cause a leak.
