ATTACH PROPANE CYLINDER
Use propane cylinders with a capacity of 14.1 oz or 16.4 oz. You can find these tanks in
the camping, hardware, plumbing section of the store you are shopping at.
CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked "Propane fuel" only.
Note: Your Weber ® gas grill is equipped with a cylinder supply system designed for
vapor withdrawal.
While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder with one hand, push propane
cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise until tight.
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 flames will result in a fire or
explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this
appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. If the
instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
After a period of nonuse, we recommend that you perform the following maintenance
procedures for your safety.
• Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the
procedures outlined in the "General Maintenance" section of this manual.
• Check all gas fittings for leaks.
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.
The burners have been flame tested. As a safety precaution however, you should
recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill was
dealer- or store-assembled.
You will need a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it. To perform leak
checks make sure the Burner is in the off position and turn on gas supply.
WARNING: Do not ignite burner while leak checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap and water solution and
watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. 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.
Check:
1) Regulator-to-propane cylinder connection.
WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), remove
propane cylinder. Do not operate grill. Use a different
propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water
solution. If a leak persists after retightening the propane
cylinder, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
