GETTING STARTED
Important Information about
LP Gas & Gas Connections
What Is LP Gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid
propane, or simply propane or butane, 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 tank, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released
from the tank, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes
gas.
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 gas grill.
• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.
• Although your LP cylinder may appear to be empty,
gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be
transported and stored accordingly.
• 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.
• The LP 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.
• Cylinders must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling
Prevention Device) and a CGA #600 cylinder connection.
The cylinder connection must be compatible with the
grill connection.
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 pressure regulator is designed for
vapor withdrawal.
• The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas
grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of
water column pressure.

Installing the LP Cylinder
Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of 16.4
oz./465 g (1.02 lbs) equipped with a CGA #600 connection
and marked "propane" only.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( )
position.
2) Push LP cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise
until tight (A). With the LP cylinder in place, the
release lever of the cart becomes locked, preventing
the grill from being lowered.
Removing the LP Cylinder
Every time you need to lower the grill cart, or your LP
cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these instructions
to remove it.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( )
position.
2) Unscrew LP cylinder from regulator and remove it
from the grill.
Storage and/or Travel
Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) the cylinder is empty; 2) the
grill is being transported; 3) the grill is being stored in a
garage or other enclosed area; 4) the grill is not in use.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
• Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
• Do not store or transport a disconnected LP cylinder
inside the grill.
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while,
it is important to follow these guidelines:
• The WEBER gas grill should be checked for gas leaks
and any obstructions in the burner tube before it
is used. (Refer to "CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS" and
"ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.")
• Check that the areas 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 screen should also be checked for any
obstructions. (Refer to "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.")
A
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under or
near this grill. Never fill the tank beyond 80%
full. Failure to follow these statements exactly
may result in a fire causing death or serious
injury.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the
connection. Using a wrench could damage the
regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked
"Propane" only.
