Failure to follow the Dangers, Warnings and Cautions contained in this Owner’s Manual may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

m WARNINGS

m Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane

cylinder under or near this barbecue.

m Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please follow the

assembly instructions carefully.

m After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the Weber® gas

barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and burner obstructions before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.

m Do not operate the Weber

closed until fire is out.

m Do not enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning

the valves or burners.

m The Weber® gas barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on

a regular basis.

m Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or

attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.

m Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your

this product exposes you to lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

(Wash hands after handling this product.)

◆

LIQUID PROPANE GAS UNITS ONLY: m Use the pressure regulator and hose assembly that is

supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue.

m Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator and hose

assembly or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.

m A dented or rusty liquid propane cylinder may be hazardous

and should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.

m Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be

empty, gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIoNS

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.

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

GAS INSTRUCTIoNS

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

• 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beawareofthisodor.

• LPgasisheavierthanair.LeakingLPgasmaycollectinlowareasandprevent

• Tofill,taketheLPcylindertoapropanegasdealer,orlookup“gas-propane”inthe

phone book for other sources of LP gas.

m WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder 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cylinderbeforetheinitialfilling.YourLPdealeris

equipped to do this.

• TheLPcylindermustbeinstalled,transported,andstoredinanuprightposition.LP

cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• NeverstoreortransporttheLPcylinderwheretemperaturescanreach125°F(toohot

to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.

Note: A refill will last about 18–20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale, a feature on some of our grills, will indicate the propane supply so you can refill the cylinder before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

• Treat“empty”LPcylinders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 cylinder valve before disconnecting.

m CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever

the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

• DonotuseadamagedLPcylinder.AdentedorrustyLPcylinderoranLPcylinder

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

GAS INSTRUCTIoNS

m DANGER

NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near Weber

gas appliances. NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

Weber® gas appliances are equipped for a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal.

m WARNING: Only use Weber® gas appliances outdoors in

a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

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. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off.

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.

m WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.

Close by turning valve clockwise.

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

◆

PREHEATING

Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low BTU rate. Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your grill according to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. To preheat: After lighting, turn all burners to

15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.

◆

COVERED COOKING

All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.

◆

DRIPPINGS AND GREASE

The Flavorizer® bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide-out grease tray. Disposable foil drip pans that fit the catch pan are available.

m WARNING: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan

for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease

to avoid a grease fire in the slide-out grease tray.

◆

CooKING METHoDS

The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a specific food, direct or indirect. The difference is simple: place the food directly over the fire, or arrange the fire on either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to great results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety.

◆

DIRECT COOKING

The direct method, similar to broiling, means the food is cooked directly over the heat source. For even cooking, food should be turned once halfway through the grilling time. Use the direct method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, vegetables, and more.

Direct cooking is also necessary to sear meats. Searing creates that wonderful crisp, caramelized texture where the food touches the grate. It also adds great color and flavor to the entire surface. Steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing.

To sear meats, place them over direct high heat for two to five minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Usually after searing the food, you finish cooking it at a lower temperature. You can finish cooking fast-cooking foods by the direct method; use the indirect method for longer-cooking foods.

To set up your gas grill for direct cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on HI. Place food on the cooking grate, and then adjust all burners to the temperature noted in the recipe. Close the lid of the grill and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the end of the recommended cooking time.

◆

INDIRECT COOKING

The indirect method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavor, and appearance you can’t get from cooking with an oven. To set up for indirect cooking, light gas burners on either side of the food but not directly beneath it. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on all sides, much like a convection oven, so there’s no need to turn the food.

Use the indirect method for foods that require 25 minutes or more of grilling time, or that are so delicate that direct exposure to the flame would dry them out or scorch them. Examples include roasts, ribs, whole chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as well as delicate fish fillets.

To set up your gas grill for indirect cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on HI. Then adjust the burners on each side of the food to the temperature noted in the recipe, and turn off the burner(s) directly below the food. For best results, place roasts, poultry, or large cuts of meat on a roasting rack set inside a disposable, heavy-gauge foil pan. For longer cooking times, add water to the foil pan to keep drippings from burning. The drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.

USING THE SEAR STATION

Your Weber® gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing meats such as steak, poultry parts, fish, and chops.

Searing is a direct grilling technique which browns the surface of the food at a high temperature. By searing or browning both sides of the meat, you will create a more desirable flavor by caramelizing the food surface. Searing will also enhance appearance of the meat with sear marks from the cooking grates. This, along with the contrast of textures and flavors, can make food more interesting to the palate.

The Sear Station adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners, you can effectively sear meats while using other cooking areas for grilling with moderate heat.

Before searing food, you should turn all of the main burners on HI for 15 minutes to preheat the grill. Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to

avoid flare-ups.

Once the grill is preheated, turn the outer burners off or down to low. Leave the center two burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station

Place the meat directly over the Sear Station one to four minutes, depending on the type and thickness of the meat. You may turn the food a quarter turn to make crossing sear marks (1) before you sear the other side in the same manner.

Once you are done searing the meat, you can finish grilling it by moving it to a more moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness.

As you gain experience in using your Sear Station with different searing times to find results that work best for your taste.
