Your Weber

gas grill is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber® gas grill you can grill, grill, roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid produces that “outdoor” flavor in the food.

The Weber® gas grill is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber® gas grill with, if you move. Propane 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 grill. Please read the instructions carefully before using your Weber® gas grill. Improper assembly can be dangerous.

Storage and/or Nonuse

• When the Weber® gas grill is not in use, the propane cylinder must be DISCONNECTED and the propane cylinder stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space. Place dust caps on cylinder valve outlets when cylinder is not in use.

• The Weber

gas grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Sections: “General Maintenance and Annual Maintenance.”)

• The Spider/Insect Screen should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual Maintenance.”)

of flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.

 WARNING: Never store an extra (spare)

Propane cylinder under or near the Weber® gas grill.

• 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/NFPA54.

Cooking

Getting started: Refer to your Q™ Cards grilling guide.

To light the grill: Refer to the lighting instructions in this owners manual and printed on the fold out tables of your grill.

To preheat the grill: Light the Weber® Q™ according the lighting instructions in this owners manual. Close the lid and turn the Burner Control Knob to Start/Hi. Preheat the grill for 5-10 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 or suggested in the Q™ Cards grilling guide.

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.

Drippings and grease: Excess drippings and grease will collect in the catch pan in the slide-out bottom tray (located on the underside of the grill). Disposable Weber® drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.

 WARNING: Check the catch pan and the

bottom of the grill for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a fire in the bottom of the grill.

Fold out work tables are not to be used as cutting boards.

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

(1)

in and around the air shutter, causing serious damage to your grill.

The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen(1) 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. 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.

2) Grill does not reach temperature.

3) Grill heats unevenly.

4) Burner does not ignite.

(1)

 DANGER Failure to correct the above mention-ed symptoms may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

pg4

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

(a)

Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect screen

To inspect the spider/insect screen, remove the control panel. If there is dust or dirt on the screen, remove the burner for cleaning the screen. Brush the spider/inspect screen, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).

 CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect

screen with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect screen or enlarge the screen openings.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the burner. (See Replacing Burner Tube.) Look inside the burner with a flashlight. Clean the inside of the burner with a wire (a straightened-out coat hanger will work).

Check for gas leaks

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

• Inspect the burner 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.

 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 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.

 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 and turn on gas supply.

 WARNING: Do not ignite burner while leak

checking.

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. If the spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, call Weber-Stephen Products Customer Service for replacement parts.

Main Burner Flame Pattern

The Weber® gas grill burner has been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown.

Check and clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the burner. Check and clean the valve orifice at the base of the valve. Use a Steel bristle brush to clean outside of burner. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open.

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 propane cylinder connection.

 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, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
