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

• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled

• 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

• 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

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber

grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of

water column pressure.

FUELING YOUR GRILL 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

gas appliances. Failure to

follow this statement exactly may result in

a fire causing death or serious injury.

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 has an odor similar to

natural gas. You should be

• LP is heavier than air.

Leaking LP gas may collect

in low areas and resist

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

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

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

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.

SAFETY CHECKS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL 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 (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.

m Only use this grill outdoors in a well-

ventilated area. Do not use in a garage,

building, breezeway or any other

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

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.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS 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

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

at higher altitudes. Allow for

less cooking time in extremely

• 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

• 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

(6.4mm) of fat. Less fat

makes cleanup easier, and is

• 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

• 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 TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.

• 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

• 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.

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®. BURNER TUBE PORTS Over time, from repeated use of the grill, the burner tube ports will become dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow. Following are ways to determine whether burner tube ports are dirty or blocked.• Grill does not reach desired temperature• Grill heats unevenly• One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite

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.

removable catch pan or disposable

drip pan with aluminum foil.

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.
