Weber Summit Platinum D6 LP Owner Manual - Page 12

12 GAS INSTRUCTIONS • Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this. • The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly. • Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day). Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill. • Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting. ƽ CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve. • Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately. Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s) • The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled. • 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. • The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements. ƽ WARNING: Replacement LP tanks must match the regulator connection supplied with this barbecue. Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements • Check to be sure cylinders have a D.O.T. certification (1), and date tested (2) is within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. • All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. • The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approximately (18 1/4 inches high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter). • The cylinder should be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP - Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSAB339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes or Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.
