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.

INDIRECT HEAT

OFF
MEDIUM
MEDIUM
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.

The Weber Promise
At Weber, we pride ourselves on two things: making grills that last and providing a lifetime of excellent customer service.
Warranty
Thank you for purchasing a Weber product. Weber­Stephen Products LLC, 1415 S. Roselle Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067 (“Weber”) prides itself on delivering a safe, durable, and reliable product.
This is Weber’s Voluntary Warranty provided to you at no extra charge. It contains the information you will need to have your Weber product repaired in the unlikely event of a failure or defect.
The Weber Promise
Pursuant to applicable laws, the customer has several rights in case the product is defective. Those rights include supplementary performance or replacement, abatement of the purchasing price, and compensation. In the European Union, for example, this would be a two-year statutory warranty starting on the date of the handover of the product. These and other statutory rights remain unaected by this warranty provision. In fact, this warranty grants additional rights to the Owner that are independent from statutory warranty provisions.
Weber’s Voluntary Warranty
Weber warrants, to the purchaser of the Weber product (or in the case of a gift or promotional situation, the person for whom it was purchased as a gift or promotional item), that the Weber product is free from defects in material and workmanship for the period(s) of time specified below when assembled and operated in accordance with the accompanying Owner’s Manual. (Note: If you lose or misplace your Weber Owner’s Manual, a replacement is available online at www.weber.com, or such country-specific website to which Owner may be redirected.) Under normal, private single family home or apartment use and maintenance, Weber agrees within the framework of this warranty to repair or replace defective par ts within the applicable time periods, limitations, and exclusions listed below. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WARRANTY IS EXTENDED ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO SUBSEQUENT OWNERS, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GIFTS AND PROMOTIONAL ITEMS AS NOTED ABOVE.

The above warranty only applies if the Owner takes reasonable care of the Weber product by following all assembly instructions, usage instructions, and preventative maintenance as outlined in the accompanying Owner’s Manual, unless the Owner can prove that the defect or failure is independent of non­compliance with the above mentioned obligations. If you live in a coastal area, or have your product located near a pool, maintenance includes regular washing and rinsing of the exterior surfaces as outlined in the accompanying Owner’sManual.
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.
This WARRANTY lapses if there are damages, deteriorations, discolorations, and/or rust for which Weber is not responsible caused by:
• Abuse, misuse, alteration, modification, misapplication, vandalism, neglect, improper assembly or installation, and failure to properly perform normal and routine maintenance;
• Insects (such as spiders) and rodents (such as squirrels), including but not limited to damage to burners and/or gas hoses;
• Exposure to salt air and/or chlorine sources such as swimming pools and hot tubs/spas;
• Severe weather conditions such as hail, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis or surges, tornadoes or severe storms.

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.
10
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.
4) Preheat the grill with all burners on the high+ position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer registers 500°F (260°C)(D).
Operation
Clean the Cooking Grate
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grates will also prevent your next meal from sticking.
1) Brush the grates with a stainless steel bristle grill brush immediately after preheating (E).
m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray
or cookbox with aluminum foil.
m DANGER: Check the slide-out grease tray and
catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
m WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts
or gloves when operating grill.
m WARNING: Grill brushes should be checked for
loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush. Weber recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.
m WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged
in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Weber authorized replacement hose.

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.
14
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.

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.
