GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Grilling Methods

NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.  WARNING: Do not move the Weber

when operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the Left and Right burners in each burner set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O).

Note: The temperature inside your cooking box for the ﬁ rst few uses, while surfaces are still very reﬂ ective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking conditions. Such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait ﬁ ve minutes before relighting. Preheating - Your Weber

gas barbecue is an energy-efﬁ cient appliance. It operates at an economical low BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (HH). 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 to "smoke" the correct amount of drippings for ﬂ avorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that ﬁ t the catch pan.

 WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-

up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease ﬁ re in the slide out bottom tray.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

Fill liquid propane cylinder

Note - The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the cylinder. If the cylinder has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the cylinder, call the cylinder manufacturer’s customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal, which is permanently attached to the cylinder. If the cylinder manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.

To ﬁ ll, take the liquid propane cylinder and ﬁ ller adapter to an RV center or look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of liquid propane gas.

 WARNING: We recommend that your liquid propane

cylinder be ﬁ lled at an authorized liquid propane gas dealer by a qualiﬁ ed attendant, who ﬁ lls the tank by weight.

IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

Tell your liquid propane dealer that this is a new liquid propane cylinder. The air must be removed from a new liquid propane cylinder before the initial ﬁ lling. Your liquid propane cylinder dealer is equipped to do this. The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position, and should not be dropped or handled roughly. Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day). For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see Section “Operating”.

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

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

This is a secondary device to prevent the overﬁ lling of your LP cylinder. 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.

WARNING: Do not exchange the LP tank provided with your barbecue, unless the exchange LP tank is equipped with an OPD. Otherwise you will lose the OPD (Overﬁ lling Prevention Device) feature. If there is not an LP tank available for exchange equipped with an OPD, we recommend that you have your LP tank ﬁ lled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualiﬁ ed attendant.

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.

DANGER

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 with a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal. WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a wellventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

The LP cylinder supplied with your barbecue is equipped with an OPD (Overﬁ lling Prevention Device) and a QCC1 or Type 1 (CGA810) cylinder connection. The cylinder connection is compatible with the barbecue connection.

CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

 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

We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the 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. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated below.

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

1) Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear of the Weber cue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.

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

gas barbe-

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

 WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the con-

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

5) Mix soap and water.

6) Turn on the cylinder valve.

7) 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, Contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual. Do not use the barbecue.

8) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.

To Connect the hose to the cylinder:

3) Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.

4) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Hand-tighten only.
