When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors,  
the gas supply must be disconnected and the LP  
cylinder stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.  
LP cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-  
ventilated area out of the reach of children.  
Disconnected LP cylinders must not be stored in a  
building, garage or any other enclosed area.  
When the LP cylinder is not disconnected from the  
Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP  
cylinder must be kept outdoors in a well-ventilated  
space.  
The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can  
easily change its location in your yard or on your patio.  
Portability means you can take your Weber Gas
