position. B) While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder with one hand, unscrew propane cylinder from regulator. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LP GAS

CYLINDERS There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your Weber

• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.

• Handle “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as you handle full cylinders. Even when an LP cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cylinder.

• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.

• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.

STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE

For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) it is empty; 2) the grill is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area;

3) the grill is being transported.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet when cylinder is not in use.

• Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

gas grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

• Check that the areas 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 screen should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

US INSTALLATION CODES

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

CANADIAN INSTALLATION CODES

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian installation codes, particularly with piping above and below ground. In Canada, the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or the latest edition of Standard CAN/CSA-B149.2 (Propane Storage and Handling Code). NOTE: Your retailer can help you match a replacement cylinder to your grill. 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 LP cylinder. Each Weber

pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber

gas grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water column pressure.

Before using your grill for the first time, you need to purchase an LP cylinder. You may choose to purchase a spare LP cylinder so that you don’t run out of fuel in the middle of cooking a meal. m DANGER NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near Weber

gas appliances. Failure to follow this statement exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury. WHAT IS LP GAS? Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. 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, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes LP gas.

• LP has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

• LP is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and resist dispersion. Meijer.com Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engineWWW.WEBER.COM

m DANGER 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. m WARNING: The gas connections of your gas grill have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill. m WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill was dealer or store assembled. m WARNING: 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 grill. 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.)A) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( position. m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak checking. B) 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:a) Regulator-to-cylinder connection (1). m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a different propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after installing a different propane cylinder, remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com

b) Valve-to-regulator connection (2). m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (2), remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com

C) When leak checking is complete, 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 grill. WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK? The fuel system in your grill 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, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.

REMOVABLE CATCH PAN AND

Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which funnels grease away from food and into a removable catch pan. For your convenience, you can also line the removable catch pan with a Weber disposable drip pan, which will help keep the removable catch pan cleaner longer. 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 grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (1). Wash the removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse with water. m WARNING: 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. m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox, removable catch pan or disposable drip pan with aluminum foil. Safety must be considered when you are deciding where to place and operate your grill. Be sure to read the following warnings before installing or using your grill. WARNINGS: m Only use this grill outdoors in a well- ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area. m Your Weber

gas grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats. m Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and combustible materials. m The entire cookbox gets hot when in use. Do not touch. m Do not move the Weber

gas grill when operating or while grill is hot. m When cooking, the appliance must be on a level, stable surface in an area clear of combustible material. An asphalt surface (blacktop) may not be acceptable for this purpose. SAFETY FIRST It’s a good idea to get in the habit of performing a few safety checks before grilling.

PREHEATING Preheating the grill before grilling is important. To preheat: Light your grill according to the instructions in this Owner’s Guide; then turn burner(s) to start/high ( ) position, close the lid, and preheat grill. This will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind. After preheating, you can adjust the burner(s) as desired. m WARNING: Should the burner(s) go out while grill is in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight grill, using the igniting instructions. COVERED COOKING All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid, a feature on some of our grills, indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.

GREASE COLLECTION SYSTEM

Unique cooking grate design features angled, cast-iron rails that deflect drippings away from the burner tube(s), preventing flare-ups that can char food. The remaining drippings flow into a removable catch pan that slides out for easy cleaning. For more grilling tips and recipes, visit www.weber.com

• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set burner(s) on high heat and close lid; preheat for 10 to 15 minutes.

• The temperature of your gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first few uses.

• Recipe grilling times are based on outside temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and little or no wind. Allow for more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow for less cooking time in extremely hot weather.

• Grilling conditions may require adjustment of the burner control knobs to attain the correct cooking temperatures.

• Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.

• Crowding food onto a cooking grate means more time will be required to cook the food.

• Trim excess fat from steaks, chops, and roasts, leaving no more than a scant ¼ inch (6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against unwanted flare-ups.

• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound (kilo) than small pieces of meat.

• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin fish fillets, will require a container for grilling. Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles can also be used.

• Foods in containers, such as baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole than in a shallow baking pan.

• Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing natural juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole fish.

• Always be sure the cookbox and removable catch pan are clean and free from debris.

• Do not line the cookbox with foil. This could prevent the grease from flowing into the removable catch pan.

• If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn burner(s) off and move food to another area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight the grill. NEVER USE WATER

• Using a timer will help to alert you when “well done” is about to become “overdone.”

• A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking grate.

• When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar content or other ingredients that burn easily, only brush it onto the food during the last 5 to 10 minutes of barbecuing. Meijer.com Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine14 WWW.WEBER.COM

GRILL IN TIP-TOP SHAPE To keep your Weber gas grill 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 grill 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 on the following page.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

The burner tube(s) in your Weber gas grill was/were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in illustration and described below:• Burner tube(s) (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 SCREEN(S) 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 grill.NOTE: If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

Over time, from repeated use of the grill, the burner tube ports will become dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow.

To keep your grill performing safely and efficiently, it is important to remove any debris and excess grease that may have accumulated on the inside of the grill. Use the following guidelines for safe cleaning. Inside Lid Flaking, built-up grease resembles paint flakes. Wipe inside of lid with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Wash inside lid with warm, soapy water; then rinse withwater. Cookbox Components & Burner Tube You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, and a stiff plastic scraper.A) Scrape and brush the cooking grates with the scraper and brush. Remove the cooking grates and set aside. m CAUTION: Grill brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush. Weber recommends purchasing a new stainless steel grill brush at the beginning of every spring. m CAUTION: Do not clean cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. B) Brush any debris off of burner tube. Do not enlarge burner ports (openings) running along length of burner tube (1).C) When cleaning is complete, replace the cooking grates. Cookbox Wash inside of cookbox with warm, soapy water; then rinse with water. Removable Catch Pan and Disposable Drip Pan Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which funnels grease away from food and into a removable catch pan. For your convenience, you can also line the removable catch pan with a Weber disposable drip pan, which will help keep the removable catch pan cleaner longer. 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 grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse with water. m WARNING: 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. m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox, removable catch pan or disposable drip pan with aluminum foil.

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. m WARNING: All gas controls and supply valves should be in the OFF position. If the igniter fails to ignite your Q grill, 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 “BURNER IGNITION—Lighting with a Match.” If match lighting is successful, the problem lies in the ignition system.

• 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.

• 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 properly 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.If the electronic ignition system still fails to ignite, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site.
