Failure to follow the Dangers, Warnings and Cautions contained in this Owner’s Manual may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a ﬁ re or an explosion causing damage to property.

 Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near this barbecue.  Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please follow the assembly instructions carefully.  After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the Weber® gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and burner obstructions

before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.

 Do not operate the Weber® gas barbecue if there is a gas leak present.  Do not use a ﬂ ame to check for gas leaks.  Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches (61 cm) of the back or sides of your Weber® gas barbecue.  Do not put a barbecue cover or anything ﬂ ammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue.  Your Weber® gas barbecue should never be used by children.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a ﬁ re causing death or serious injury.

 NEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this barbecue.  NEVER ﬁ ll the tank beyond 80% full.

Your Weber® gas grill is equipped for a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal.

 WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated

area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER

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, control panel and shelves 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, the use of a nonmetallic brush can be used.

 IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause scratches.

 IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless steel.

The proper ﬁ lling methods for the ﬁ lling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your ﬁ lling station ﬁ lls your LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask your ﬁ lling station to read purging and ﬁ lling instructions on the LP cylinder before attempting to ﬁ ll.

LEAK CHECK PREPARATION CHECK THAT ALL BURNER VALVES ARE OFF

Valves are shipped in the “OFF” position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. Proceed to the next step. If they do turn continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off. Proceed to the next step.

CONNECTING 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 ﬁ tting that is not properly tightened. Gas will not ﬂ ow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the coupling.

 WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.

Close by turning valve clockwise.

 DANGER

Do not use an open ﬂ ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open ﬂ ames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or ﬂ ames will result in a ﬁ re or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

Some LP tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front (a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (b). Weber recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and Worthington, with a

47.6 lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see illustrations).

The LP cylinder is installed inside the tank enclosure or tank cabinet, on the tank scale.

1) Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear of the Weber

2) Lift tank up into position on the tank scale.

3) Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

To Connect the hose to the cylinder:

4) Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.

5) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Handtighten only.

Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to ﬂ ow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.

gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection.

Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.

6) Mix soap and water.

7) Turn on the cylinder valve.

8) Check for leaks by wetting the ﬁ tting with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.

If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the ﬁ tting. Turn the gas back on and recheck with the soap and water solution. If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

 DANGER

Do not use an open ﬂ ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open ﬂ ames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open ﬂ ames will result in a ﬁ re or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

 WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you

disconnect and reconnect a gas ﬁ tting.

Note: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been ﬂ ame-tested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all ﬁ ttings for leaks before using your Weber® Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas ﬁ tting.

 WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your

barbecue was dealer or store assembled.

You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.

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.

If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is off. To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve handwheel counterclockwise.

 WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
