GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Your Weber® gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber® gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difﬁ cult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that “outdoor” ﬂ avor in the food. The Weber® gas barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber® gas barbecue with, if you move. Liquid Propane (LP) 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 Weber® gas barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your 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.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

COOKING

 WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue

when operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the FRONT and BACK burners as desired. The control settings: High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber® cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to your Weber® cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.

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.

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® bars are designed 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.

CLEANING

 WARNING: Turn your Weber

gas barbecue OFF and

wait for it to cool before cleaning.

Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse

with water.

 CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive

cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces.

Flavorizer® bars and Cooking grates - Clean with a suitable brass bristle

brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with water.

 CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® bars or

cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.

For availability of replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

Slide out Bottom tray - Remove excess grease, then wash with warm

soapy water, then rinse.

Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.

Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water; clean with plastic scrub ball.

Inside cooking module - Brush any debris off of burner tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS (OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with

warm soapy water and a water rinse.

Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up grease resembles paint ﬂ akes.

Stainless steel surfaces - Preserve Your Stainless Steel - Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves may be made from stainless steel. In order to keep the stainless steel looking its best is easy. Simply clean it with soap and water, rinse with clean water and wipe dry. A non-metallic brush can be used for stubborn stains.

 IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brushes or abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill, as this will leave scratches.  IMPORTANT: Do no use cleaners that contain chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surface of your grill.  IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces, be sure to rub/ wipe in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless steel.

Thermoset surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap and water solution.

Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

Thermoset work surfaces are not to be used as cutting boards.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

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

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 for 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated below.

SILVER C, GOLD B & C, PLATINUM B & C

(DOES NOT APPLY TO SILVER A & B)

 WARNING: Pass regulator through left hole in support panel(A). Failure to do so could cause damage to hose resulting in a ﬁ re or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

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® gas barbecue. 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.

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.

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.
