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.
Thisinnovative 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 –
thegrilling 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,
HighPerformance 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. Andtogether, 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.

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, suchas: hamburgers, steaks,
chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and
slicedvegetables.
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 thecenter.

REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT
GrillingDo’s
andDon’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.
Sogive 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
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 unaected 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

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

contact you.
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’sManual.
Warranty Handling /
Exclusion of Warranty

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

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,

Warranty, and any damages that result hereby are not
covered by this Warranty. Any conversion of a gas grill
not authorized by Weber and performed by a Weber
authorized service technician will void this Warranty.

Important Information about
NaturalGas & 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 1/2psig (3.5 kPa).

Hose Connection &
LeakChecking
Connect the Hose to the GasSupply
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
withwater.
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 GasSupply
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.
Thisautomatically shuts o the gas.
10
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Besure 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
firsttime.
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
preventfires.
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.
Italso 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 (nothot).
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 ManagementSystem
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 theGrill
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel,
porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. Weber
recommends the following methods based on the
surfacetype.
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.
Donot 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 PlasticComponents
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 heatsunevenly.
• 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.
CAUSESOLUTION
Fuel hose is bent or kinked.Straighten fuel hose.

BurnerPorts.”
SYMPTOM
• Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow andlazy.
CAUSESOLUTION
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 spiderscreens.
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

The cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times above are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude, wind, and outside temperature can aect 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.
