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