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 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 .
•
Handle "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 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 125° F (51° C ) (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 .
•
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 .
•
The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber
barbecue must be used . This regulator is set for 2 .75
kPa .
•
Use only AGA approved hose assemblies .
•
The length of hose must not exceed 1 .5 meters .
•
We recommend that you replace the gas hose on your
Weber gas barbecue every 5 years . Some countries
may have requirements that the gas hose be replaced
in less than 5 years, thus 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 .
STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE
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 .
m CAUTION: Place dust cap on LPG cylinder
valve outlet whenever the LPG cylinder
is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the LPG cylinder valve outlet
that is provided with the LPG cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of universal liquefied
petroleum gas.
•
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 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 under the control panel and the
gas
®
slide-out grease tray 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 . " )
m WARNING: Never store an extra (spare)
LPG cylinder under or near the Weber
gas barbecue.
Refer to AS5601.1, local authority, gas,
electricity, and other relevant statutory
regulations for installation and use.
NOTE: Your retailer can help you match a replacement
cylinder to your barbecue.
