GENERAL INSTRUcTIoNS

With the Weber® gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that
are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer®
bars produce that “outdoor” flavor in the food.

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

®

gas barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your

Weber
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. Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code,
B149.2 as applicable.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber® gas barbecue must be used. This
regulator is set for 11 inches of water column (pressure).

• This Weber® gas barbecue is designed for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. Do
not use with natural (piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and regulator are for
LP gas only.

• Do not use with charcoal fuel.

• Check that the area under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris
that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

• The areas around the LP cylinder must be free and clear from debris.

• Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by
Weber-Stephen Products Co.

GAS INSTRUcTIoNS

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP
gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside
a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes
and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent
dispersion.

• To fill, take the LP cylinder to a gas propane dealer, or look up “gas-propane” in the
phone book for other sources of LP gas.

m WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled

at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant,
who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS
DANGEROUS.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is
equipped to do this.

• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP
cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too
hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).

Note: A refill will last about 18-20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale, a
feature on some of our grills, will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before
running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank
is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the
cylinder valve before disconnecting.

m CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever

the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.

• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders
with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately.

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time
the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it
will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

• The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas appliance have been designed
and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

m DANGER

®

NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near Weber

gas
appliances. NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to
follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing
death or serious injury.

Weber® gas appliances are equipped for a cylinder supply system designed for vapor
withdrawal.

m WARNING: Only use Weber® gas appliances outdoors in

a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.

The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as
described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your LP cylinder by
weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging and filling instructions on the LP
cylinder before attempting to fill.

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.
If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off.

The Liquid Propane Cylinder

All Weber® liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank
connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane
tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1
coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and
your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is
not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully
engaged into the coupling.

m WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.

Close by turning valve clockwise.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

APAGADO

• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on HI heat and close lid; heat
for 10 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500°-550° F (260°-288°C).

• Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.

• Grilling times in recipes are based on 70°F (20°C) weather and little or no wind. Allow
more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking
time in extremely hot weather.

• Grilling times can vary because of the weather, or the amount, size and shape of the
food being grilled.

• The temperature of your gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first few uses.

• Grilling conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the
correct cooking temperatures.

• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than small
pieces of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking grate will require more cooking time
than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers, such as baked beans, will require
more time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.

• Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a scant ¼ inch
(6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against
unwanted flare-ups.

• Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require turning or
moving to a less hot area.

• Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing natural
juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole fish.

• If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn all burners off and move food to another
area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight
the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.

• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin fish fillets, will require a container for grilling.
Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles
can also be used.

• Always be sure the slide out grease tray and catch pan are clean and free from debris.

• Do not line the slide out grease tray with foil. This could prevent the grease from
flowing into the catch pan.

• Using a timer will help to alert you when “well-done” is about to become “over­done.”

Note: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual.

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

operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the individual burners as desired. The control settings (1) are OFF,
START/HI, MEDIUM, or LOW.

FLAVORIZER® SYSTEM

When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer® bars,
they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued flavor. Thanks to the
unique design of the burners, Flavorizer® bars and the flexible temperature controls,
uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. Because
of the special design of the Flavorizer
through the slide out grease tray into the grease catch pan.

SEAR STATION

Your Weber® gas barbecue may include a sear burner for searing thin meats and
fish. The Sear Station
works with the two adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can
effectively sear meats while using other cooking areas for cooking with moderate heat

Note: The temperature inside your cookbox for the first few uses, while surfaces are still

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

If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait five minutes before
relighting.

◆

PREHEATING

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

◆

COVERED COOKING

All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the
lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid
indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is done with
the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.

◆

DRIPPINGS AND GREASE

The Flavorizer® bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for
flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under
the slide out grease tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.

m WARNING: Check the slide out grease tray and catch pan

for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the slide out grease tray.

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: place the food directly over the
fire, or arrange the fire on either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to
great results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety.

◆

DIRECT COOKING

The Direct Method, similar to broiling, means the food is cooked directly over the heat
source. For even cooking, food should be turned once halfway through the grilling time.
Use the Direct method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops,
kabobs, sausages, vegetables, and more.

Direct cooking is also necessary to sear meats. Searing creates that wonderful crisp,
caramelized texture where the food hits the grate. It also adds great color and flavor to
the entire surface. Steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit
from searing.

To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller
pieces require less searing time. Usually after searing you finish cooking the food at a
lower temperature. You can finish cooking fast-cooking foods by the Direct method; use
the Indirect method for longer-cooking foods.

To set up your gas grill for Direct cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on HI. Place
food on the cooking grate, and then adjust all burners to the temperature noted in the
recipe. Close the lid of the grill and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the
end of the recommended cooking time.

◆

INDIRECT COOKING

The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that grilled
texture, flavor, and appearance you can’t get from an oven. To set up for Indirect cooking,
gas burners are lit on either side of the food but not directly beneath it. Heat rises,
reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food
evenly on all sides, much like a convection oven, so there’s no need to turn the food.

Use the Indirect method for foods that require 25 minutes or more of grilling time or that
are so delicate that direct exposure to the flame would dry them out or scorch them.
Examples include roasts, ribs, whole chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as
well as delicate fish fillets.

To set up your gas grill for Indirect cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on HI. Then
adjust the burners on each side of the food to the temperature noted in the recipe and
turn off the burner(s) directly below the food. For best results, place roasts, poultry,
or large cuts of meat on a roasting rack set inside a disposable heavy-gauge foil pan.
For longer cooking times, add water to the foil pan to keep drippings from burning. The
drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.

USING THE SEAR STATION

Your Weber® gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing meats such as steak,
poultry parts, fish, and chops).

Searing is a direct grilling technique which browns the surface of the food at a high
temperature. By searing or browning both sides of the meat you will create a more
desirable flavor by caramelizing the food surface. Searing will also enhance appearance
of the meat with sear marks from the cooking grates. This along with the contrast of
textures and flavors can make food more interesting to the palate.

®

The Sear Station
adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear
meats while using other cooking areas for grilling with moderate heat.

Before searing you should turn all of the main burners on HI for 15 minutes to preheat
the grill. Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to avoid
flare ups.

Once the grill is preheated, turn the outer burners off or down to low. Leave the center
two burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station Burner.

Place the meat directly over the Sear Station
1 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of meat and thickness. You may turn the food a
quarter turn to make crossing sear marks (1) before you sear the other side in the same
manner.

Once you are done searing you can finish grilling by moving the meat to a more
moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness.

USING THE SMOKER

The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like
steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and
turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker,
we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks
to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet
wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger
chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1). As you gain experience in smoking,
increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.

Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food. Light
the smoker burner by following the instructions for “SMOKER BURNER IGNITION”. After
wood starts to smolder turn control knob to LOW.

Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you
require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and/or chunks. Keep the lid
of the grill closed while cooking.

Note: After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again. The
smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry and fish recipes. Cook with the lid down
according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.

m DANGER

Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the
wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

CLEANING THE SMOKER

Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.

Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue
cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree a
“smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be
removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.
