Refilling Or Replacing An Lp Tank - Weber SPIRIT Owner's Manual

Refilling or Replacing an
LP Tank
How Much Fuel is in the Tank?
The tank scale indicates the amount of fuel in a
standard 20 pound (9.07 kg) tank once the tank is hung
from the scale. The fuel level is checked by viewing
the red level indicator line, located on scale. When the
indicator line is at the top, the tank is full (L). When it
is at the bottom, the tank is empty (M) and needs to be
removed to replace or refill.
Removal of the LP Tank
1) Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by
turning valve clockwise (N).
2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning
counterclockwise by hand (O).
3) Loosen tank hand nut and turn tank lock up out of
the way.
4) Lift tank off tank scale.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The following fittings should be tested for gas leaks
each time a tank is refilled and reinstalled:
• Where the regulator connects to the tank (H) and at
the regulator (I).
Follow the instructions for "Checking for Gas Leaks".
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a
gas leak present.
m DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of
gas escaping from the liquid propane tank:
1) Move away from liquid propane tank.
2) Do not attempt to correct the problem
yourself.
3) Call your fire department.
m DANGER: Always close the tank valve before
disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt
to disconnect the gas regulator and hose
assembly or any gas fitting while this grill is
in operation.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under
or near this grill. Never fill the tank beyond
80% full. Failure to follow these statements
exactly may result in a fire causing death or
serious injury.

TONGS
Consider these to be an extension
of your hand. The best tongs
should have an effortless tension
mechanism, comfortable hand
grips, and a lock to keep
them compact.
GRILLING PAN
Designed for food that is either too
small or too delicate for the cooking
grates, a perforated grilling pan
keeps food right where it ought
to be—on the grill,
not in it.
