m Caution: the burner openings(1) must

be positioned properly over the valve
orifices(2).

7) To reinstall the burner, reverse steps 5) to 7).

Make sure the igniter port hole(A) lines up with
the arrow tab(B) on the igniter box.

Ignition System Operations

If the ignition system fails to ignite the burner, light
the burner with a match. If the burner lights with a
match, then check the ignition system.

• Check that both the white(1) and black(2)
ignition wires are attached properly.

• Check that the ignition button pushes the

Weber® Spider /Insect screens

Your Weber® 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 tube. This blocks the
normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow
back out of the air shutter. This could result in a
fire in and around the air shutter, causing serious
damage to your barbecue.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a
stainless steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and
other insects from accessing the burner tubes
through the air shutter openings.

We recommend that you inspect the Spider/
Insect screen at least once a year. (See
“Annual Maintenance” section) Also inspect
and clean the the Spider/Insect screen if any
of the following symptoms should ever occur:

1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the
burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.

Annual Maintenance

Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/
Insect screen

If there is dust or dirt on the Spider/Insect screen,
remove the burner for cleaning the screen.
Brush the Spider/Inspect screen, lightly, with a
soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).

Failure to correct symptoms may result
in a fire, which can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and cause damage to
property.

2) Barbecue does not reach temperature.

3) Barbecue heats unevenly.

4) One or more of the burners do not ignite.

CAUTION: Do not clean the Spider/Insect

m

screen with hard or sharp tools. Do not
dislodge the Spider/Insect screen or
enlarge the screen openings.

Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of
the burner tube. Once the Spider/Insect screen
and burner is clean, replace the burner.

m DANGER

If the Spider/Insect screen becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our web site. Log onto

Note - All factory-made connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners
have been flame-tested. As a safety precaution,
however, you should re-check all fittings for leaks
before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping
and handling may have loosened or damaged a
gas fitting.

m

WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your barbecue has been assembled
by a dealer or at the shop where you
bought it.

in the OFF position. Turn on gas supply.

WARNING: Do not ignite burner while

m

checking for leaks.

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.

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.

Check:

1) Regulator-to-butane/-propane cartridge/
cylinder connection.

m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection

Burner burns with a yellow or orange flame, in
conjunction with the smell of gas.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect Weber® Insect / Spider screen for possible
obstructions. (Blockage of holes.)

Clean Weber® Insect / Spider screen. (See “Annual
Maintenance” section)

Burner does not light, or flame is low in HIGH
position.

Experiencing flare-ups:

m CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray with
aluminum foil.

Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is low when
burner is on HIGH. Flames do not run the whole
length of the burner tube.

Inside of lid appears to be “peeling.” (Resembles
paint peeling.)

Burner does not light when igniter button is
pushed.

Burner flame does not ignite completely around
the burner tube.

Is butane/propane cartridge/cylinder fuel low or empty?

Does the burner light with a match?

Are you preheating barbecue in the prescribed
manner?

Is the cooking grate heavily coated with burned-on
grease?

Are burners clean? Clean burner. (See “Annual Maintenance” section)

The lid is cast aluminum, not paint. It cannot “peel”.
What you are seeing is baked on grease that has
turned to carbon and is flaking off.

THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.

Is burner tube positioned too far away from the igniter
box?

Are the burner ports clean and fully open? Clean burner. (See “Annual Maintenance” section)

Replace butane/propane cartridge/cylinder.

If you can light the burner with a match, then check the
ignition system.

Clean thoroughly. (See “Cleaning” section)

Clean bottom tray.

Clean thoroughly. (See “Cleaning” section)

Check that the burner tube is positioned correctly over
the ignition box. (See Maintenance - “Replacing the
Burner Tube”)

Use a small paper clip to unclog any dirty ports.

If problems cannot be corrected using these methods, please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact
information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

You must preheat the grill before you cook on it. First,
open the lid and follow lighting instructions. Close the
lid and let the grill heat for about 10 minutes. Then you
will be ready to grill.

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.

We suggest that you grill with the lid down. Why?
Because it reduces the chance of flare-ups, and cooks
your food faster and more evenly.

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 10 to 15 minutes
of grilling.

GRILLING GUIDE (CONTINUED)

Don’t forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and
clean out the drip pan under the grill.

The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times
for food are meant to be guidelines rather than hard and fast
rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors as wind,
outside temperature and how well done the food should be
cooked. Grill for the time given on the chart or to the desired
degree of doneness, turning once halfway through the grilling
time. Cooking times for beef and lamb are for “medium”
cooking time, unless otherwise noted. Let thick chops and
steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving. The internal
temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees during
this time.
