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.
m 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 well-
ventilated 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.
