Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
Safe handling tips for
Liquid Propane Gas
Cylinders
ꢀ 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 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.
ꢀ 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.
(1)
ꢀ LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may
collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
ꢀ To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look
up “gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources
of LP gas.
ƽ 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.

ƽ 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 (Overfilling 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 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 20 hours of cooking time
at normal use. The fuel scale 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.
ƽ 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.

General Maintenance
Weber Spider Stopper™ Guards
Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas
appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects.
They can nest in the venturi section (Venturi(1), air
shutter(2), venturi fin(3) ) of the burner tubes. This
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to
flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control
panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.
Look inside each burner with a flashlight.
The Weber Spider Stopper™ Guard(1) is factory
installed. It fits tightly around the air shutter section of
the burner tube and the valve, thereby preventing
spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes
through the air shutter openings.
(1)
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a
straightened-out coat hanger will work). Check and
clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the
burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base
of the valves. Use a brass bristle brush to clean
outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner
ports are fully open.
