Use propane cylinders with a minimum capacity of 4.5 kg and a maximum capacity of 9 kg.

m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked “Liquid Propane

fuel” only.

Connect the hose and the regulator to the cylinder.

Note: Regulator vent hole should be pointed down.

m WARNING: The regulator has left hand screw threads. It

tightens by turning counterclockwise.

m WARNING: No sealant is required on the POL fitting. Do not

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

◆

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

Check for leaks by wetting the connections with a soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.

A) Regulator to propane cylinder connection (2).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (2), disconnect

propane cylinder. Reconnect and retighten connection. If a leak persists after retightening the propane cylinder, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com

B) Valve to-regulator connections (3).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (3) turn OFF

the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com

When leak checks are 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.

BEFORE USING THE BARBEQUE

CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN

Your barbecue was built with a grease collection system. Check the catch pan and disposable drip pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill.

Remove excess grease with a plastic spatula; see illustration. When necessary, wash the catch pan and drip pan with a soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water. Replace the disposable drip pan as needed.

m WARNING: Check the catch pan and disposable drip pan for

grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.

m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox with aluminum foil.

IGNITER INSPECTION FOR MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION

Verify that your AAA battery is in good condition and that it is installed correctly (1). Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. This plastic must be removed. Do not confuse this plastic protective wrap with the battery label. ◆

◆

HOSE INSPECTION

The hose should be inspected for any signs of cracking.

m WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue for

nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only Weber® authorized replacement hose. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

PREHEATING THE BARBECUE

Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical, low BTU rate. Preheating the barbecue before grilling is important. Light your gas barbecue according to the instructions in this Owner’s Guide. 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.

Note: For the first few uses of your barbecue, the temperature inside the cookbox may be hotter than shown in your cookbook because the surfaces of the cookbox are still reflective. Cooking conditions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

If burners go out during cooking, open the lid, turn off the burner(s), and wait five minutes before relighting.

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

operating or while the barbecue is hot.

◆

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. With the direct method, which is similar to broiling, the food is cooked directly over the fire. With the indirect method, fire is arranged on either side of the food. The indirect method is similar to roasting, but

with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavour, and appearance you can’t get from cooking with an oven. Using the right method is the shortest route to great results—and the best way to ensure a safe degree of doneness.

With each method, you can adjust the burners as desired. The control settings — HIGH,

MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF — are described in the chart to the right. For example, to sear steaks, set both burners to HIGH, then to complete cooking, set both burners to LOW. For more ideas, refer to the recipes in the grilling guide included with this barbecue.

Note: Cooking conditions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

◆

GRILLING BASICS

A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking grate.

We suggest that you barbecue with the lid down. Why? Because it reduces the chance of flare-ups, and cooks your food faster and more evenly.

When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar content, or other ingredients that burn easily, only brush it onto the food during the last ten to fifteen minutes of barbecuing.

Don’t forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and clean out the drip pan under the barbecue.

For more barbecuing tips and recipes, visit www.weber.com®.

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

The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) 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. Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.” Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect screen 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) Burner does 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.
