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 wilt 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.

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.
• 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LPG CONNECTIONS

WHAT IS A REGULATOR

Your Weber gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LPG cylinder.

REGULATOR CONNECTIONS

Your Weber gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LPG cylinder. Each Weber pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber° gas barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 2.75 kPa.
• Replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.
• 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.

Replacement LPG cylinders must match the regulator connection supplied with this Weber gas appliance.

POL CONNECTION

1	Valve handwheel - close clockwise
2	Hose
3	Regulator
4	POL connection - tighten anticlockwise
5	Regulator vent hole - point hole downward

REPLACEMENT HOSE, REGULATOR AND VALVE ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your Weber gas barbecue 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.
For replacement hose, regulator, and valve assemblies, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log on to www.weber.com.

LPG CYLINDER INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

FUELING YOUR DEVICE

Before using your grill for the first time, you need to obtain a LPG cylinder. New LPG cylinders can be purchased full; empty LPG cylinders can be refilled or exchanged. You may choose to purchase a spare LPG cylinder so that you don't run out of fuel in the middle of cooking a meal. it

NEVER store a spare LPG cylinder under or near Weber gas appliances. NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

INSTALLING THE LPG CYLINDER

Use LPG cylinders with a minimum capacity of 4.5 kg and a maximum capacity of 9 kg.

Use LPG cylinders that are marked "Liquefied Petroleum Gas" only.

1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off 101 position(1)
2. Connect the hose and the regulator to the LPG cylinder by screwing the POL coupling into the LPG cylinder valve, turning anticlockwise, or to the left (2). Hand-tighten only. The regulator vent hole should be pointing down.

Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

The regulator has left hand screw threads. It tightens by turning anticlockwise.

No sealant is required on the POL fitting. Do not use pipe dope, tape or any other sealant on the POL fitting or LPG cylinder.

REMOVING THE LPG CYLINDER FOR REFILLING OR REPLACEMENT

The amount of cooking time a full LPG cylinder will last varies depending on use. You do not have to run out of fuel before you can refill the LPG cylinder. In fact, we recommend that you refill the LPG cylinder before it is completely empty.

Removal of the LPG Cylinder

1. Close LPG cylinder valve (turn clockwise) (3)
2. Unscrew regulator by turning POL coupling clockwise by hand (4).

FILLING THE LPG CYLINDER

We recommend that your LPG cylinder be filled at an authorized LPG dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the LPG cylinder by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

NOTE: Be certain LPG cylinder is purged of trapped air prior to first filling. Your gas supplier is equipped to do this

The minimum LPG cylinder capacity for this barbecue is 4.5 kg.
The maximum LPG cylinder capacity for this barbecue is 9 kg.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR PRODUCT

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK

The fuel system in your barbecue features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, its important to perform a leak check before using your barbecue for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

The gas connections of your gas barbecue have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas barbecue.

Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue was dealer or store assembled.

You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

NOTE. All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burner has been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store]

1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off (O) position (1)
   
2. Turn gas supply on at source (2)
   

Do not ignite burner when leak checking.

3. To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections:
   
   1. Regulator-to-LPG cylinder connection (3)
   2. Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (4)
   3. Valve-to-regulator hose connection (5)

If there is a leak at connection (3, 4 or 5) turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.

4. When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse connections with water.

NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water: may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

Now you are ready to use your barbecue.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

KEEPING YOUR PRODUCT IN TIP-TOP SHAPE

Failure to correct any problems described below may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

To keep your Weber gas barbecue performing as safely and efficiently as on day one, we strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the spider/insect screen's) and burner tube's) at least once a year. Below is important information about these two areas of the barbecue that should undergo annual maintenance.

If you observe an incorrect flame pattern or blocked burner port, proceed to the "BURNER TUBE CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT" instructions below.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

The burner tube's) in your Weber' gas barbecue was/ were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in illustration and described below:

• Burner tubels (1)
• Tips occasionally flicker yellow (2)
• Light blue (3)
• Dark blue (4)

Check burner flame pattern. If the flames do not match the above description, it could be an indication that the spider/insect screen's) has/have become dirty or blocked.

WEBER SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS

The combustion air opening(s) of the burner tube(s) (5) is/are fitted with stainless steel screen's) to help prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the venturi section (6) of the burner tube's). These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow, and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening's) (7). Symptoms of this kind of obstruction include the odor of gas in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy.
This obstruction could result in a fire (8) in and around the gas valve's), causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important as cleaning the cookbox. Check the removable catch pan for grease build-up each time you use your barbecue. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse with water.

Check the removable catch pan or disposable drip pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.

Do not line the cookbox, removable catch pan or disposable drip pan with aluminum foil.

IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATIONS

The igniter supplies a spark to the igniter electrode assembly. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the ignition system, read the following to keep your ignition system working properly

All gas controls and supply valves should be in the OFF position.

If the igniter fails to ignite your Q barbecue, you will need to pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas flow or with the ignition system. Begin by attempting to match light your burner. Refer to "LIGHTING A BURNER WITH A MATCH". If match lighting is successful, the problem lies in the ignition system

MAINTAINING THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SYSTEM

(Q 1000, Q 2000, Q 3100)

• Check that both the white (1) and black (2) ignition wires are attached properly.
  
• Verify that the igniter button pushes in, clicks and returns to the out position

MAINTAINING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

(Q 1200, Q 2200, Q 3200)

• Verify that the AAA battery (alkaline only) is in good condition and is installed correctly (3). Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. This plastic must be removed before installing battery. Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.
• Make sure that both igniter wires are property attached to the igniter module. Black wire to black terminal (4), white wire to white terminal (5).
• Make sure the electronic igniter button is working by listening for clicking and looking for sparks at burner.
