IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UNIVERSAL LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS

WHAT IS UNIVERSAL LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS?

Universal liquefied petroleum gas is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your barbecue. 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, it is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

Universal liquefied petroleum gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odour.
Universal liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air. Leaking universal liquefied petroleum gas may collect in low areas and resist dispersion.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LPG CYLINDERS

There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using universal liquefied petroleum gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your WEBER gas barbecue.

Always close the LPG cylinder valve before disconnecting regulator.
Do not use a damaged LPG cylinder. A dented or rusty LPG cylinder or a LPG cylinder with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new LPG cylinder immediately.
Handle “empty” LPG cylinders with the same care as you treat full LPG cylinders. Even when a LPG cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the LPG cylinder.
The LPG cylinder must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright position. LPG cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LPG cylinder where temperatures can reach 51° C (125° F) (the LPG cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LPG cylinder in a car on a hot day.
Leak test the fitting where the regulator connects to the LPG cylinder each time a reconnection occurs. For example: test each time the LPG cylinder is refilled and reinstalled.
LPG cylinders must be kept out of reach of children

STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE GUIDELINES

The gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder when the WEBER gas barbecue is not in use.

WARNING: Make sure that the LPG cylinder valve is closed when the barbecue is not in use. Close by turning valve clockwise.

If storing the WEBER gas barbecue indoors, first DISCONNECT the gas supply and store the LPG cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
Do not store a disconnected LPG cylinder in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
If you do not disconnect the LPG cylinder from the WEBER gas barbecue, be sure to keep both the barbecue and the LPG cylinder outdoors in a wellventilated area.

For barbecues that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:

The WEBER gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)
Check that the areas around the LPG cylinder and under the cookbox and the removable catch pan are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
The spider/insect screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

This appliance shall only be used in an above ground, open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and other products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
Refer to data plate on barbecue for gas type, consumption, pressures and injector sizing details.
Gas inlet connection – 3/8″ SAE Flare with 5/8″ UNF thread.
This WEBER gas barbecue is not intended for commercial use.
This WEBER gas barbecue is not intended for and should never be used as a heater.
Use only AGA approved hose assemblies.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LPG CONNECTIONS

WHAT IS A REGULATOR?

Your WEBER gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LPG cylinder

REGULATOR CONNECTIONS

Your WEBER gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LPG cylinder. Each WEBER pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.

The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 2.75 kPa.
Replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.
Be sure the small vent hole on the regulator does not collect water. This vent should be kept free of dirt, grease, bugs, etc.

WARNING: Replacement LPG cylinders must match the regulator connection supplied with this WEBER gas appliance.

REPLACEMENT HOSE, REGULATOR AND VALVE ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

We recommend that you replace thegas hose assembly on your WEBER gas barbecue every five years. Some countries may have requirements that the gas hose be replaced within less than five years, in which case that country’s requirement would take precedence.

For replacement hose, regulator, and valve assemblies, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log on to www.weber.com.

R EGULATOR CONNECTION

FUELING YOUR BARBECUE
Before using your barbecue for the first time, you need to obtain an LPG cylinder. New LPG cylinders can be purchased full; empty LPG cylinders can be refilled or exchanged. You may choose to purchase a spare LPG cylinder so that you don’t run out of fuel in the middle of cooking a meal.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LPG CONNECTIONS

DANGER
NEVER store a spare LPG 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

LPG CYLINDER INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

INSTALLING THE LPG CYLINDER

The minimum LPG cylinder capacity for this barbecue is 4.5 kg.
The maximum LPG cylinder capacity for this barbecue is 9 kg.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR BARBECUE

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?

The fuel system in your barbecue features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings.

Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your barbecue for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.

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.

WARNING: The gas connections of your gas barbecue have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas barbecue.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue was dealer or store assembled.

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

NOTE: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burner has been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your WEBER gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. (You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.)

A) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position (1).

B) Turn gas supply on at source (2).

WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak checking.
C) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections:
a) Regulator-to-LPG cylinder connection (3).

b) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (4).
c ) Valve-to-regulator hose connection (5).

WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (3, 4 or 5) turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE 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.

Now you are ready to use your barbecue.

SAFETY CHECKS BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE

SAFETY FIRST

It’s a good idea to get in the habit of performing a few safety checks before barbecuing.

Safety must be considered when you are deciding where to place and operate your barbecue. Be sure to read the following warnings before installing or using your barbecue.

WARNINGS:

Only use this barbecue outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

Your WEBER gas barbecue shall not be used beneath overhead combustible construction.

Your WEBER gas barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.
