TYPE 1 coNNEcTIVE coUPLING 1 Type 1 Valve2 Hand Wheel3 External Thread4 Thermally Sensitive Nut5 Propane Regulator 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 flames will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property. The Liquid Propane Cylinder All Weber liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-listed tank connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the tank coupling. m WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.10 GaS INSTrUcTIoNS

• Grillingtimesinrecipesarebasedon70°F(20°C)weatherandlittleornowind.Allow more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking time in extremely hot weather.

• Grillingtimescanvarybecauseoftheweather,ortheamount,sizeandshapeofthe food being grilled.

• Ingeneral,largepiecesofmeatwillrequiremorecookingtimeperpoundthansmall pieces of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking grate will require more cooking time than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers, such as baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.

• Trimexcessfatfromsteaks,chopsandroasts,leavingnomorethanascant¼inch (6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against unwanted flare-ups.

• Ifanunwantedflare-upshouldoccur,turnallburnersoffandmovefoodtoanother 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.

• Somefoods,suchasacasseroleorthinfishfillets,willrequireacontainerforgrilling. Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles can also be used.

• Alwaysbesuretheslideoutgreasetrayandcatchpanarecleanandfreefromdebris.

• Donotlinetheslideoutgreasetraywithfoil.Thiscouldpreventthegreasefrom flowing into the catch pan.

• Usingatimerwillhelptoalertyouwhen“well-done”isabouttobecome“over- done.” Note: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. m WARNING: Do not move the Weber

gas barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot. You can adjust the individual burners as desired. The control settings are OFF, START/HI, MEDIUM, or LOW. Note: The temperature inside your cookbox for the first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking conditions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures. If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait five minutes before relighting.

gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low BTU rate. Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your grill according to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. To preheat: after lighting turn all burners to START/HI,closethelid,andheatuntilthetemperaturereachesbetween500°and550° F(260°and290°C),therecommendedbroilingtemperature.Thiswilltake10to15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.

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 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.

bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out grease tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch pan. m WARNING: Check the slide out grease tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the slide out grease tray.

SYSTEM When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer

bars, they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued flavor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, Flavorizer

bars and the flexible temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. Because of the special design of the Flavorizer

bars and burners, excess fats are directed through the slide out grease tray into the grease catch pan. ◆WWW.WEbEr.com

TroUbLESHooTING ProbLEm cHEcK SoLUTIoN Side Burner burns with a yellow or orange flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas. Inspect side burner orifice alignment (Position of orifice to side burner tube.) Loosen orifice and re-align orifice parallel to the side burner tube. Refer to “SIDE BURNER MAINTENANCE”. Side Burner does not light. Is gas supply off? The excess flow safety device, which is part of the barbecue to cylinder connection, may have activated. Turn supply on. To reset the excess flow safety device turn all burner control knobs and the cylinder valve off. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder. Turn burner control knobs to START/HI.

gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section (1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the combustion air openings. We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur: A) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy. B) Barbecue does not reach temperature. C) Barbecue heats unevenly. D) One or more of the burners do not ignite. m DANGER Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning. Preserve your stainless steel - Your grill or its cabinet, lid, and control panel may be made from stainless steel. To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter. Clean it with soap and water, rinse with clear water, and wipe dry. For stubborn particles, a non-metallic brush can be used. m IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause scratches. m IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless steel. ◆WWW.WEbEr.com
