operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the individual main burners as desired. The control settings are START/
HI, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF.
Note: The temperature 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, 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 five
minutes before relighting.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after
cleaning.
Preserve Your Stainless Steel - Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves
may be made from stainless steel. To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a
simple matter. Clean it with soap and water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. For
stubborn particles, the use of a non-metallic brush can be used.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners
on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause
scratches.
IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe
in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your
stainless steel.
The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as
described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your LP cylinder by
weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging and filling instructions on the
LP cylinder before attempting to fill.
LEAK CHECK PREPARATION
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.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
All Weber® liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank
connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane
tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1
coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and
your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is
not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully
engaged into the coupling.
WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.
Close by turning valve clockwise.
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.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS
Some LP 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
(a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (b). Weber
recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and Worthington, with a
47.6 lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance
provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see illustrations).
The LP cylinder is installed inside the tank enclosure or tank cabinet, on the tank scale.
1) Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear
of the Weber

GAS INSTRUCTIONS
TO CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE CYLINDER:
4) Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
5) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Handtighten only.
Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the
connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection.
Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and
could cause a leak.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
6) Mix soap and water.
7) Turn on the cylinder valve.
8) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting 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 fitting. Turn the gas back on and
recheck with the soap and water solution.
If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto
www.weber.com®.
9) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse
connections with water.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
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 open flames will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
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 Barbecue. Shipping and handling
may loosen or damage a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or store assembled.
2
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
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.
If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is off.
To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve handwheel counterclockwise.
3
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when 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.
