THE GS4™ GRILLING SYSTEM

The GS4™ High Performance Grilling System sets a new standard in the world of backyard cuisine, and lands the Genesis® II and Genesis II® LX series of gas grills in a class of their own. Thisinnovative grilling system is based on over 30 years of grilling experience, culinary expertise, and most importantly, avidly considering the wants and needs of the people who matter most – thegrilling community.

Each component of GS4™ was uniquely designed for ease-of-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard grilling experience. Promising burners that are ensured to ignite

Product Features

every time, smoke infused food that grills evenly and consistently regardless of where it’s placed on the cooking grate, and hassle free cleanup, so that you are able to focus on what it’s is all about – bringing people together around the grill.

The GS4™ grilling system is composed of four key components: The E2i™ Electronic Ignition, HighPerformance Burners, Flavorizer™ Bars, and Grease Management System. These components ensure that every aspect of your grilling experience is easy and reliable; from the moment the burners are lit to the general maintenance of your grill. Andtogether, create the strongest grilling engine within every Genesis® II and Genesis® II LX grill.

1 E2i™ Electronic Ignition

The E2i™ Electronic Ignition is ensured to ignite every time. Backed by a generous warranty, rest assured that you’ll be up-and-grilling the ﬁrst time, every time.

2 High Performance Burners

The unique, tapered shape delivers a consistent gas ﬂow from front to back. This provides ultimate heat distribution, ensuring that food grills evenly and consistently anywhere on the cooking grate.

3 Flavorizer™ Bars

The classic Weber® Flavorizer™ bars are angled just right to catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding that irresistible smoky ﬂavor that we all know and love to your food. Any drippings not vaporized follow the slope and are funneled away from the burners, down into the grease management system.

4 Grease Management System

The grease management system helps with the removal of grease while reducing the risk of ﬂare-ups. Drippings that are not vaporized by the Flavorizer™ bars are funneled away from the burners into the disposable drip tray, located within the catch pan under the cookbox. Simply remove the catch pan and replace the drip tray as needed.

Tips and Hints

INDIRECT HEAT

DIRECT HEAT

SETUP

Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole ﬁsh, delicate ﬁsh ﬁllets, whole chickens, turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for ﬁnishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned ﬁrst over direct heat.

With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill, or o to one side of the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grate.

Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, suchas: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, ﬁsh ﬁllets, shellﬁsh, and slicedvegetables.

With direct heat, the ﬁre is right below the food. It sears the surfaces of the food, developing ﬂavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking the food all the way to thecenter.

REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT

GrillingDo’s andDon’ts

Tips and Hints

Preheat each and every time.

If the cooking grates aren’t hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome grill marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always preheat the grill on highest setting ﬁrst. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grate heat up for about ten minutes or until the lid thermometer reads 500° F (260° C).

Don't grill on dirty grates.

Tossing food onto the cooking grates before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stu” on the grates acts like glue, binding it to the grates and your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure you are grilling on a clean cooking grate. Once the grates are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to make a clean, smooth surface.

Be present in the process.

Before ﬁring up your grill, make sure that everything you need is within arm’s reach. Don’t forget your essential grilling tools, already oiled and seasoned food, glazes or sauces, and clean cooking platters for cooked food. Having to run back to your kitchen not only means missing out on the fun, but could also result in burning your food. French chefs call this “mise en place” (meaning, “put in place”). We call it “being present”.

Create a little elbow room.

Packing too much food onto the cooking grates restricts your ﬂexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grates clear, with plenty of space between each food item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes grilling involves split-second decisions and the ability to jockey food from one area to another. Sogive yourself enough room to operate.

Try not to peek.

The lid on your grill is for more than just keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it’s for preventing too much air from getting in, and too much heat and smoke from getting out. When the lid is closed, the cooking grates are hotter, the grilling times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the ﬂare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on it!

Only flip once.

What’s better than a juicy steak with a deep sear and plenty of beautifully caramelized bits? The key to accomplishing these results is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we have the tendency to ﬂip our food before it reaches the desirable level of color and ﬂavor. In nearly all cases, you should turn food just once. If ﬁddling with it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too much, which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the grill.

Know when to tame the flame.

When grilling, sometimes the most important thing to know is when to stop. The most reliable way to test doneness of your food is to invest in an instant-read thermometer. This slim little gem will help you pinpoint that critical moment when your food is at its best.

Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Back in the 1950s, grilling meant one thing: meat (and only meat) charred over open ﬂames. The modern day backyard chef doesn’t need a kitchen in order to prepare a full course meal. Use your grill to make chargrilled appetizers, sides, and even desserts. Register your grill to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We’d love to join you on your grilling adventures.

Warranty Handling / Exclusion of Warranty

If you believe that you have a part which is covered by this Warranty, please contact Weber Customer Service using the contact information on our website (www.weber.com, or such country-speciﬁc website to which Owner may be redirected). Weber will, upon investigation, repair or replace (at its option) a defective part that is covered by this Warranty. In the event that repair or replacement are not possible, Weber may choose (at its option) to replace the grill in question with a new grill of equal or greater value. Weber may ask you to return parts for inspection, shipping charges to be pre-paid.

Important Information about NaturalGas & Gas Connections

What is Natural Gas?

Natural gas (NG) is a combustible, gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane. Natural gas is delivered by your local utility through an underground pipeline system.

General Specifications

• Two burner and three burner grills are designed to operate at 7" of water column pressure (.2526 psi).

• Four burner and six burner grills are designed to operate at 4" of water column pressure (.1444 psi).

• The quick-disconnect ﬁtting can be installed horizontally or pointing downward, but never pointing upward. Installing it with the open end pointing upward can result in water and debris collecting in the quickdisconnect ﬁtting.

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

Hose Requirements

• The grill is equipped with a model speciﬁc hose that was attached during the manufacturing process. This speciﬁc hose must be used for proper performance.

• If the hose becomes worn or damaged, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

Pressure Testing the Gas Supply

• Disconnect the gas grill when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This appliance and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

• Turn o the gas grill when the gas supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2psig (3.5 kPa).

Hose Connection & LeakChecking

Connect the Hose to the GasSupply

A quick-disconnect device connects your grill to the gas supply. Gas will not ﬂow unless the quickdisconnect is properly engaged.

1) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs

clockwise (A).

2) Slide the collar of the quick-disconnect back (B).

3) Push male ﬁtting of the hose into the quick-

disconnect and maintain pressure. Slide the collar

Getting Started

closed (C). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Proceed to ”CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS”.

What is a Leak Check?

Once the hose is properly connected, it is necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the hose to the gas supply. The ﬁtting where the regulator connects to the tank should be tested each time a tank is reﬁlled and reinstalled.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1) Wet ﬁttings shown (D) with a soap and water

solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.

2) Turn the gas supply valve on.

3) If bubbles appear there is a leak (E). Turn o the

gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete.

Turn gas supply valve o 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.

Additional Leak Check Precautions

The fuel system in your grill features other connections and ﬁttings. These factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been ﬂame-tested. However, it is recommended that a thorough leak check be performed annually. Instructions for this can be found online at weber.com.

Disconnect the Hose from the GasSupply

A quick-disconnect device connects your grill to the gas supply. Gas will not ﬂow unless the quickdisconnect is properly engaged.

1) Push the collar back and pull out the plug.

Thisautomatically shuts o the gas.

m DANGER: Do not use a ﬂame to check for gas

leaks. Besure there are no sparks or open ﬂames in the area while you check for leaks.

m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a ﬁre or

explosion.

m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a

gas leak present.

UNLOCK GRILLING HAPPINESS

The Very First Time You Grill

Perform an Initial Burn-Off

Heat the grill on the highest setting, with the lid closed, for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling for the ﬁrsttime.

Every Time You Grill

Meal-to-Meal Maintenance

The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important, steps that should always be performed prior to grilling.

Check for Grease

Your grill was built with a grease management system that funnels grease away from food and into a disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled down the slide-out grease tray and into a disposable drip tray that lines the catch pan. This system should be cleaned each and every time you grill to preventﬁres.

1) Conﬁrm that the grill is o and cool.

2) Remove the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray

out of the cabinet (A). Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper.

3) Remove the catch pan (B). Check for excessive

amounts of grease in the disposable drip tray that lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a new one.

4) Reinstall all components.

Inspect the Hose

Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

1) Conﬁrm that the grill is o and cool.

2) Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or

cuts(C). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill.

Preheat the Grill

Preheating the grill is critical to successful grilling. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. Italso burns o residue of a previously cooked meal.

1) Open the grill lid.

2) Ignite your grill according to the ignition instructions in this owner's manual.

3) Close lid.

The control burner knobs light up with the push of a button. To turn on or o, simply push the power button located on the right side of the control panel.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill

Over time, the performance of your grill can diminish if it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your grill is o and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. Consistent use may warrant quarterly cleanings.

Product Care

Cleaning the Lid

From time to time you may notice “paint-like” ﬂakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and looks very similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the ﬂakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.

1) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the

lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A). To minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after grilling while the grill is still warm (nothot).

Cleaning the Cooking Grates

If you have been cleaning your cooking grates as recommended, the debris on your grates should be minimal.

1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush(B).

2) Take the grates out and set aside.

Cleaning the Flavorizer™Bars

Flavorizer™ bars catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding ﬂavor to your food. Any drippings that are not vaporized by the Flavorizer™ bars are funneled away from the burners. This helps prevent ﬂare-ups inside of your grill, and protects the burners from getting clogged.

1) Scrape the Flavorizer™ bars with a plastic scraper(C).

2) If necessary, brush the Flavorizer™ bars with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.

3) Remove Flavorizer™ bars and set aside.

Cleaning the Burners

Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small raised openings running along the length of the burners) and the spider/insect screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is essential for safe operation.

Cleaning the Burner Ports

1) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the burner ports (D).

2) When cleaning the burners, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully brushing around it(E).

Cleaning the Spider Screens

1) Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the control panel where they meet the valves.

2) Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners using a soft bristle brush (F).

m WARNING: Turn your grill o and wait for it to

cool before thoroughly cleaning.

m WARNING: Over time, the development of

rough surfaces can form on the Flavorizer™ bars. Wearing gloves is recommended when handling. Do not clean Flavorizer™ bars or cooking grates in a sink, dishwasher, or selfcleaning oven.

m WARNING: When cleaning the burners, never

use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates. Never put sharp objects into the burner port holes.

m CAUTION: Do not place any grill components

onto the side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless steel surfaces.

m CAUTION: Do not use any of the following

to clean your grill: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.

UNLOCK A LIFETIME OF GUIDANCE

Cleaning the Heat Deflectors

Located under the burners, the heat deﬂectors distribute heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking. Keeping heat deﬂectors clean will enhance the cooking performance of your grill.

1) Scrape the heat deﬂectors with a plastic

scraper(G).

2) If necessary, brush the heat deﬂectors with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.

3) Remove heat deﬂectors and set aside.

Cleaning the Cookbox

Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause a ﬁre.

1) Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris o the sides and bottom of the grill into the opening in bottom of the cookbox(H). This opening leads debris into the slide-out grease tray.

Cleaning the Grease ManagementSystem

The grease management system consists of an angled slide-out grease tray and a catch pan. These components were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time you prepare to grill. Instructions on inspecting the grease management system can be found in MEAL-TOMEAL MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning the Outside of theGrill

The outside of your grill may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. Weber recommends the following methods based on the surfacetype.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and grills. Use a microﬁber cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Donot use paper towels.

Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide ﬁlm coating.

Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces and PlasticComponents

Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm soapy water, and paper towels or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the Outside of Grills that are in Unique Environments

If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.

Cleaning the Grill Light

Wipe the grill light clean with a damp cloth only. The light is weather resistant to rain and snow, but not waterproof. Do not submerge in water.

SYMPTOM

• Grill does not reach desired temperature or heatsunevenly.

• One or more of the burners fail to ignite.

• Flame is low when burner is on high position.

• Flames do not run the whole length of the burner.

• Burner flame pattern is erratic.

CAUSE SOLUTION

Fuel hose is bent or kinked. Straighten fuel hose.

Burner ports are dirty. Clean burner ports. Refer to “Cleaning the

BurnerPorts.”

SYMPTOM

• Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow andlazy.

CAUSE SOLUTION

Spider screens on the burners are obstructed. Clean spider screens. Refer to “Cleaning the Spider

Screens” in the Product Care section. Also refer to the illustrations and information in this section about proper ﬂame pattern and spiderscreens.

Troubleshooting

Proper Burner Flame Pattern

The burners in your grill were factor y set for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burners are performing correctly, you will see a speciﬁc ﬂame pattern. The tips may occasionally ﬂicker yellow (A), with a descending light blue (B) to dark blue ﬂame (C).

Spider Screens

The combustion air openings of the burners(D) are ﬁtted with stainless steel screens to prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the burners. Additionally, dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the oxygen ﬂow to the burners.

Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System

When turning the control knob you should hear a ticking sound. If you cannot hear the ticking sound, check the battery, then check the wires.

Checking the Battery

There are three potential issues with the battery that supplies the power to your ignition module that need to be checked:

1) Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. (Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.) Check that this plastic wrap is removed.

2) Conﬁrm that the battery is installed correctly (E).

3) If the battery is old, replace it with a new battery.

Checking the Wires

1) Make sure the ignition wires are properly attached to the ignition module. The wire terminals are color coded to correspond with the terminals on the ignition module. The number of wires will vary per model. Refer to Assembly Manual for details on correct wire installation.

The cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times above are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude, wind, and outside temperature can aect cooking times. Two rules of thumb: Grill steaks, ﬁsh ﬁllets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using the direct method for the time given on the chart (or to the desired doneness), turning food once halfway through grilling time. Grill roasts, whole poultr y, bone-in poultry pieces, whole ﬁsh, and thicker cuts using the indirect method for the time given on the chart (or until an instant-read thermometer registers the desired internal temperature). Cooking times for beef and lamb use the USDA’s deﬁnition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted. Before carving, let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees during this time.
