IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LPG GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS
WHAT IS LIQUID
PROPANE GAS?
Liquid propane gas (LPG) 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 cylinder,
LPG is a liquid. As pressure is
released from the cylinder, the
liquid readily vapourises and
becomes liquid propane gas.
• LPG has an odour similar to
natural gas. You should be
aware of this odour.
• LPG is heavier than air.
Leaking liquid propane gas
may collect in low areas and
resist dispersion.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID
PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you
need to keep in mind when using liquid propane gas
(LPG). Carefully follow these instructions before using
your Weber ® gas grill.
• Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting
regulator.
• Do not use a damaged LPG cylinder. A dented
or rusty LPG cylinder or an LPG cylinder with a
damaged valve may be hazardous and should be
replaced with a new cylinder immediately.
• Treat "empty" LPG cylinders with the same care as
you treat full cylinders. Even when an LPG cylinder is
empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside
the cylinder.
• LPG cylinders 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 (the 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 joint 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.
• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The
valves and orifices are designed exclusively for liquid
propane gas.
• The areas around the LPG cylinder must be free and
clear from debris.
• The LPG cylinder should not be changed in the
proximity of an ignition source.

STORAGE

For grills that have been stored for a while, it is important
to follow these guidelines:
• The gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder when
the Weber ® gas grill is not in use.
WARNING: Make sure that the LPG
cylinder valve is closed when the grill
is not in use.
• If storing the Weber ® gas grill 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 grill, be sure to keep both the grill and the
®
cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Check that the areas under the control panel and the
slide-out grease tray are free from debris that might
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

LPG CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

• Use only a 3kg-13kg LPG cylinder.
REGULATOR CONNECTIONS &
REQUIREMENTS
• In the United Kingdom, this appliance must be fitted
with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a
nominal output of 37 millibars. (Supplied with grill.)
• The length of hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• We recommend that you replace the gas hose on
your Weber gas grill 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.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be
altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
• Only a nationally approved low-pressure hose and
regulator must be used.
• Replacement pressure regulators and hose
assemblies must be those specified by the outdoor
cooking gas appliance manufacturer.
• 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.
