GAS INSTRUcTIoNS

ATTACH THE PROPANE CYLINDER

Use disposable propane cylinders with a capacity of either 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. equipped with a CGA #600 connection.

m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked “Propane fuel”

only.

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

Make sure the Burner is in the off position. While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder with one hand, push propane

cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise until tight.

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

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

m DANGER

Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. If the instructions are not followed exactly, a fire

causing death or serious injury may occur.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

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.

◆

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 recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.

m WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill 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 make sure the Burner is in the off position.

m WARNING: Do not ignite burner while 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.

Check

A) Regulator-to-propane cylinder connection (1).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), remove

propane cylinder. Do not operate grill. Use a different propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the 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 connections (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 checks are 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.

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

disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

◆

bEFoRE USING THE bARbEcUE

CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN

Your grill was built with a grease collection system. Check the catch pan and disposable drip pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill.

Remove excess grease with a plastic spatula; see illustration. When necessary, wash the catch pan and drip pan with a soap and water solution, and then rinse with clean water. Replace the disposable drip pan as needed.

m WARNING: Check the catch pan and 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 with aluminum foil.

IGNITER INSPECTION FOR MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION

Verify that your AAA battery is in good condition and that it is installed correctly (1). Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. This plastic must be removed. Do not confuse this plastic protective wrap with the battery label.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

PREHEATING THE BARBECUE

Light the Weber® Q® according the ignition instructions in this Owner’s Guide. Close the lid and turn the burner control knob to START/HI. Preheat the grill for 5 to10 minutes (depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind). Once the grill is preheated, set the burner control knob to the setting specified in the recipe.

m WARNING: Do not move the Weber® Q® when operating or

while the grill is hot.

Note: Wind and weather may require adjustment of the burner control knob to obtain the correct cooking temperature.

If the burner goes out during cooking, open the lid, turn off the burner, and wait five minutes before relighting.

◆

COOKING

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 barbecue 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 5 to 10 minutes of barbecuing.

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

WEBER® SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS

Your Weber® gas grill, 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 grill.

The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tube through the air shutter openings.

We recommend that you inspect the spider/insect screen at least once a year. Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.” Also inspect and clean the the spider/insect screen if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:

A) Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy. B) Grill does not reach temperature. C) Grill heats unevenly. D) Burner does 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.
