FEATURES:

a) Convenient tables and racks. b) Heavy gauge porcelain-on-steel lid seals in heat. c) Rapid read thermometer for precision cooking

measures grill temperature, and can be removed and inserted into the food.

d) Heavy gauge steel Flavorizer Bars distribute heat

within the grill. Flavorizer Bars heat just the right amount of drippings for flavoring, letting excess fat

drip past to help prevent flare-ups.

e) Weber Warm-Up Basket for additional cooking or

warming space. f) Separate burners for temperature control. g) Crossover Ignition System with Gas Catcher Ignition

Chamber. h) Fuel scale indicates LP gas supply. i) Catch pan catches excess grease. j) Locking casters for additional portability.

IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES:

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is equipped with a new and improved LP tank connection, that has additional safety features. They are:

1. The connection of the barbecue to the LP tank can be made without the use of tools.

2. The new connection will not permit the flow of gas until a positive gas connection is made.

3. If an accidental fire occurs at the LP tank connection, the flow of gas is stopped by a temperature activated shutoff.

4. If the LP supply hose becomes damaged, cut, punctured, or accidentally fire damaged, the barbecue connection is equipped with an excess flow control that will limit the flow of gas if leakage or a fire occurs.

General Instructions

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber Gas Barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer Bars produce that "outdoor" flavor in the food.

The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber Gas Barbecue with you if you move.

Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.

■ These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your Weber Gas

Barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.

■ Not for use by children.

■ If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills,

you will have to conform to them. If there are no local codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1.

■ The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber Gas Barbecue must be used. This regulator is set

for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).

■ This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. Do not use with natural

(piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and regulator are for LP gas only.

■ Do not use with charcoal fuel.

■ Check that the area under the control panel and the

bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

■ The area around the LP tank must be free and clear from debris.

For Installation in Canada

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 Standard CAN/CGA-B149.2 (Installation Code for Propane Burning Appliances and Equipment).

Storage

■ The gas must be turned OFF at the LP tank when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.

■ When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply must be disconnected and the LP tank

stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

■ LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. Disconnected LP

tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

■ When the LP tank is not disconnected from the Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP tank must be

kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

Operating area

WARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

■ Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an unprotected combustible roof or overhang.

■ Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

■ Do not use combustible materials within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.

■ The entire cooking box gets hot when in use. Do not leave unattended.

■ Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surface.

■ Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and

combustible materials.

■ Never store an extra (spare) LP tank under or near the Weber Gas Barbecue.

Step 13

Set LP fuel scale

You will need: LP tank (empty).

Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an empty tank.

We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in Figure 15.

Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held up out of the way. Figure 15 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 15 (b).

CA UTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from tank scale.

After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

Step 14

Fill LP tank

Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank. If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center.

To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center or look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.

IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.

WARNING: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is equipped with a quick-disconnect valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.

The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).

For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see Section "Operating Instructions".

Step 17

Check for gas leaks

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. The burners have been flame tested. As a safety precaution you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.

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.

To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 19.

 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. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

Check: a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 20 (a). b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 20 (b).

WARNING: : If there is a leak at connection (a) , retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution.

If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

c) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 20 (c). d) The hose to regulator connection. Figure 20 (d).

WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (b), (c) or (d), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.

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.

WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak chec king.

Cooking

WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue when operating or hot.

You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT at medium, CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.

Note: The temperatures inside your cooking box, for the first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.

CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

Preheating

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy. To preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (HHH). Preheating to between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.

Drippings and grease

The Flavorizer Bars are designed to "smoke" the right amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease accumulate in the catch pan under the bottom tray . Disposable foil liners are available that fit the catch pan.

WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease buildup before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.

Periodic Cleaning

WARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and wait for it to cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not c lean your Flavorizer Bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. Replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are a v ailab le through your retailer or the Weber-Stephen Customer Service Center.

Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution. CAUTION: Do not use o ven cleaner, abrasive

cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain citrus products or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces.

Bottom tray - Remove excess grease and then wash with

warm soapy water. Flavorizer Bars and Cooking Grates- Clean with a

suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water.

Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water.

Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water, clean with plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or submerge in water.

Inside cooking box - Brush any debris off of burners tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS (OPENINGS). Wash

inside of cooking box with warm soapy water. Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel

to prevent flaking due to grease build-up.

Safe handling tips for LP Gas

■ Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular

temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

■ LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should know this odor.

■ LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas that prevent dispersion.

■ To fill, take the LP tank to an RV center, or look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of

LP gas, to fill the tank with 20 pounds of liquid propane.

WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

■ Air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

■ The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped

or handled roughly.

■ Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example:

do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).

Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

■ Treat "empty" LP tanks with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there

still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always

close the tank valve before disconnecting.

■ Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be

hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

■ The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must be leak tested each time the LP tank is reconnected.

For example, test each time the LP tank is refilled.

■ Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so it will not collect water. This

vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s)

■ The LP tank and connections supplied with your Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested

to meet government, American Gas Association and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.

■ Replacement LP tanks supplied by Weber satisfy the requirements. Check to be sure the tank has a D.O.T.

certification, and has been tested within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. Figure 7.

If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please call Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.

Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber Spider Stopper Guards

To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their outside surfaces. If they are dirty, brush off the outside surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in the fit around the burners or valves. (See Section "General Maintenance".)

Annual Maintenance

After a period of nonuse we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety.

■ Inspect the burners for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the procedures outlined in the

"General Maintenance" section of this manual.

■ Check all gas fittings for leaks.

 DANGER

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

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

To perform leak checks: Make sure all burners are in the OFF position. Turn on gas supply.

WARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak chec king.

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: a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 7 (a). b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 7 (b).

WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a) retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution.

If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

General Maintenance

Weber Spider Stopper Guards

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 of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 8. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Main Burner Flame Pattern

The Weber Gas Barbecue burners have been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in Figure 10.

 DANGER

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

The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube and the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings. Figure 9.

We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See Section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following symptoms should ever occur.

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

2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.

3. Barbecue heats unevenly.

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

If the flames do not appear to be uniform the length of the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold. (See

Section “Replacing the main burners”.) Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Figure 11.

Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened out coat hanger will work). Figure 12. Check and clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves. Use a brass bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open.

CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when cleaning.

Replacing Main Burners

a) Your Weber Gas Barbecue must be OFF and cool. b) Turn gas OFF at source. c) Remove control panel: take off the burner control

knobs. Remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Lift off the control panel.

e) Remove the manifold bracket and unscrew the two

wing nuts that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down. Figure 15.

f) Slide the burner assembly out from under the guide

screw and washer in the corners of the cooking box. Figure 16.

CAUTION: If the Spider Stopper Guards do not fit tightly, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

WARNING: After reinstalling the gas lines, they should be leak checked with a soap and water solution before using the barbecue. See Step“Check for gas leaks”.

■ Check that the Crossover Ignition button pushes the igniter (button) down, and returns to the up position.

■ Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame. Tighten if necessary; See Step “Install igniter” for

correct procedure.

If the Crossover Ignition System still fails to light, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

Crossover Ignition System Operations

If the Crossover Ignition System fails to ignite the Front burner, light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System.

■ Check that both the white and black ignition wires are attached properly. Figure 20.

Problem

Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas.

Burners do not light. -orBurners have a small flickering flame in the HIGH position. -orBarbecue temperature only reaches 250˚ to 300˚ degrees in the HIGH position.

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

Experiencing flare-ups:

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.)

Fuel scale shows that there is gas in the LP tank, but tank is empty.

Check

Inspect Weber Spider Stopper Guards for possible obstructions. (Blockage of holes.)

The excess flow safety device, which is part of the barbecue to tank connection, may have activated.

Is LP fuel low or empty? Is fuel hose bent or kinked? Does the Front burner light with a

match?

Are you preheating barbecue in the prescribed manner?

Are the cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars heavily coated with burned-on grease?

Is the bottom tray "dirty" and not allowing grease to flow into catch pan?

Are burners clean?

The lid is porcelain-on-steel, 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.

Check adjustment of fuel scale.

Cure

Clean Weber Spider Stopper Guards. (See Section "Annual Maintenance".)

To reset the excess flow safety device turn all burner control knobs and the tank valve OFF. Disconnect the regulator from the tank. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH. Wait at least 1 minute. Turn burner control knobs OFF. Reconnect the regulator to the tank. Turn tank valve on slowly. Refer to “Lighting Instructions”.

Refill LP tank. Straighten fuel hose. If you can light the Front burner

with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System.

All burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes for preheating.

Clean thoroughly. (See Section "Periodic Cleaning".)

Clean bottom tray.

Clean burners. (See Section "General Maintenance".)

Clean thoroughly. (See Section "Periodic Cleaning".)

Fuel scale must be adjusted with an empty tank.
