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.

The natural 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

gas barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your

Weber Weber® gas barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.

• Not for use by children.

• If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to them. Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.

• This Weber liquid propane (LP) bottled gas. The valves, orifices and hose are for natural gas only.

• Do not use with charcoal fuel.

• Check that the area under the control panel and the grease tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

INSTALL GAS SUPPLY

General Specifications for Piping

Note: Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Some of the following are general requirements taken from the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code for complete specifications.

• This barbecue is designed to operate at 4.5" of water column pressure (.163 psi).

• A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, and be accessible, not in the “built-in” structure (1).

• An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.

• The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.

• Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas when connections are made.

• The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction (2).

Gas Line Piping

• If the length of the line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

• Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062"; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

• Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

• Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.

• Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

• Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1

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 gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

GAS INSTRUcTIoNS

TYPE OF GAS

Your natural gas grill is factory built to operate using natural gas only. Never attempt to operate your grill on gases other than the type specified on the grill rating plates.

Your grill operates at 4.5" of water column pressure. If replacement of the hose becomes necessary, factory specified parts are required. See your local dealer.

For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a Weber Natural gas to operation using LP gas requires the change out of the entire gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary, see your dealer for additional information.

WHAT IS NATURAL GAS?

Natural gas, often called methane, is a safe modern fuel. Natural gas is supplied by your local utility and should be readily available if your house is already heated with gas. ◆

LEAK CHECK PREPARATION

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.

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.

m WARNING: The gas connections of your gas grill have been

factory tested. We do however recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.

m WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue

was dealer or store assembled.

If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is turned off. Turn on gas supply at source.

m WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

You will need: A soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it. A) Mix soap and water. B) Turn on gas supply (1). C) 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

D) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and 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.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

APAGADO

• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on HI heat and close lid; heat for 10 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500°-550° F (260°-288°C).

• Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.

• Grilling times in recipes are based on 70°F (20°C) weather and little or no wind. Allow more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking time in extremely hot weather.

• Grilling times can vary because of the weather, or the amount, size and shape of the food being grilled.

• The temperature of your gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first few uses.

• Grilling conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.

• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than small pieces of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking grate will require more cooking time than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers, such as baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.

• Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a scant ¼ inch (6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against unwanted flare-ups.

• Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require turning or moving to a less hot area.

• Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing natural juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole fish.

• If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn all burners off and move food to another area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.

• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin fish fillets, will require a container for grilling. Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles can also be used.

• Always be sure the slide out grease tray and catch pan are clean and free from debris.

• Do not line the slide out grease tray with foil. This could prevent the grease from flowing into the catch pan.

• Using a timer will help to aler t you when “well-done” is about to become “overdone.”

Note: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

m WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue when

operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the individual burners as desired. The control settings (1) are OFF, START/HI, MEDIUM, or LOW.

FLAVORIZER® SYSTEM

When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer® bars, they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued flavor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, Flavorizer® bars and the flexible temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. Because of the special design of the Flavorizer through the slide out grease tray into the grease catch pan.

SEAR STATION

Your Weber® gas barbecue may include a sear burner for searing thin meats and fish. The Sear Station works with the two adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear meats while using other cooking areas for cooking with moderate heat (Refer to “SEAR STATION

Note: The temperature inside your cookbox 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, 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 START/HI, close the lid, and heat until the temperature reaches between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C), the recommended broiling temperature. This will take 10 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 are available that fit the catch pan.

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 hits 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 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Usually after searing you finish cooking the food 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 an oven. To set up for Indirect cooking, gas burners are lit 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 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 Burner.

Place the meat directly over the Sear Station 1 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of meat and thickness. 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 you can finish grilling by moving the meat to a more moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness.

SmoKER bURNER IGNITIoN & USAGE

USING THE SMOKER

The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker, we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1). As you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.

Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food. Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for “SMOKER BURNER IGNITION”. After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to LOW.

Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and/or chunks. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.

Note: After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again. The smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry and fish recipes. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.

m DANGER

Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

CLEANING THE SMOKER

Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.

Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.

Note: Before using your rotisserie, measure your food at the widest point. If it exceeds 9½" (241.8mm), it is too large to fit the rotisserie. If it is too large, food can be prepared

using a roast holder and the Indirect Cooking Method.

m WARNINGS m Read all instructions before using your rotisserie.

m This rotisserie is for outdoor use only. m Remove motor and store in a dry place when not in use. m Do not touch hot surfaces. Use barbecue mitts. m This rotisserie is not for use by children. m To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse cord,

plugs, or motor in water or other liquids.

m Unplug the motor from outlet when not in use or before

cleaning.

m Do not use rotisserie for other than intended use. m Make sure motor is off before placing it on the motor

bracket.

m Do not operate the rotisserie motor with a damaged cord or

plug.

m Do not operate the rotisserie motor if it should malfunction. m The rotisserie motor is equipped with a three prong

(grounding) power cord for your protection against shock hazard.

m The power cord should be plugged directly into a properly

grounded three prong receptacle. If use of an extension cord is required, be sure that it is a minimum 16 AWG (1.3mm), 3-wire, well insulated cord marked for OUTDOOR USE ONLY and properly grounded.

m When using an extension cord, make sure it is not in contact

E) Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Lower the rotisserie spit

into the grooves on the cookbox (4).

F) The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy side of the meat or poultry

rotates down to the bottom. Large cuts may require the removal of the cooking grates and warming rack to allow full rotation of the shaft. Remount the food if necessary for better balance.

G) Turn the motor on.

ROTISSERIE COOKING

• Meats (except poultry and ground meat) should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (20 to 30 minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)

• Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the spit.

• Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.

• Follow lighting instructions for rotisserie burner.

• Set rotisserie burner on medium-high based on outside air temperatures.

• Place food within area of burner.

• If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the food on top of the Flavorizer® bars.

• Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking.

• All cooking is done with the lid closed.

• If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they may not rotate well and should be cooked by the Indirect Method without using the rotisserie.

• Smoker can be used in conjunction with rotisserie for more smoke flavor.

Note: When using the rotisserie burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the temperature inside the cooking box.

ROTISSERIE FORK STORAGE

A) Remove forks from rotisserie spit.. B) Store rotisserie forks by placing them on the hooks located on the catch pan holder

within the grill cabinet (1).

WEBER® SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS

Your Weber® gas barbecue, 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 tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

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

We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE”) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:

A) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy. B) Barbecue does not reach temperature. C) Barbecue heats unevenly. D) One or more of the burners do 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.

◆

BURNER TUBE CLEANING

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold (Refer to “REPLACING MAIN BURNERS”). Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened-out coat hanger will work).

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

m CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when cleaning.
