IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS

WHAT IS LP GAS?

Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such as a tank, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the tank, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes LP gas.

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

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

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS TANKS

There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using liquid propane (LP) gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your Weber® gas grill.

• Always close the tank valve before disconnecting regulator.

• Do not use a damaged LP tank. A dented or rusty LP tank or an LP tank with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new tank immediately.

• Treat “empty” LP tanks with the same care as you treat full tanks. Even when an LP tank is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the tank.

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

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

• Leak test the fitting where the regulator connects to the LP tank each time a reconnection occurs. For example: test each time the LP tank is refilled and reinstalled.

• LP tanks must be kept out of reach of children.

STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE

For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• The gas must be turned off at the LP tank when the

gas grill is not in use.

Weber

m WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank

valve is closed when the grill is not in use. Close by turning valve clockwise.

• If storing the Weber® gas grill indoors, first DISCONNECT the gas supply and store the LP tank outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

m CAUTION: Place dust cap on tank valve

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

• Do not store a disconnected LP tank in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

• If you do not disconnect the LP tank from the Weber® gas grill, be sure to keep both the grill and the tank outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

• The Weber® gas grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before it is used. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

• Check that the areas under the control panel and the slide-out grease tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

• The spider/insect screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

US INSTALLATION CODES

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; or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.

MEXICO INSTALLATION CODES

If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you must comply with the latest edition of NOM.

CANADIAN INSTALLATION CODES

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian installation codes, particularly with piping above and below ground. In Canada, the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or the latest edition of Standard CAN/CSA-B149.2 (Propane Storage and Handling Code).

US LP TANK REQUIREMENTS

• Check to be sure that tanks have a D.O.T. certification

(1), and that the testing date (2) is within five years of current use. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the tank valve.

• The LP tank must be a 20-lb. size, approximately 18¼ inches high and 12¼ inches in diameter.

• The tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with Specifications for LP - Gas Tanks (Tanks) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/ CSA-B339, Tanks (Tanks), Spheres and Tubes or Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.

m WARNING: The liquid propane tank

used with your grill must have a listed OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device) and a QCC1 or Type 1 (CGA810) tank connection. The tank connection must be compatible with the grill connection.

CANADIAN LP TANK REQUIREMENTS

• The LP tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas tanks, T.C.

NOTE: Your retailer can help you match a replacement tank to your grill.

8 WWW.WEBER.COM

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS CONNECTIONS

WHAT IS A REGULATOR?

Your Weber® gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LP tank.

REGULATOR CONNECTIONS

Each Weber® LP regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal and is equipped with a UL-listed Type 1 tank connection as described in the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. THE LP TANK THAT YOU CONNECT TO THE REGULATOR MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A COMPATIBLE TYPE 1 CONNECTION IN THE TANK VALVE. This Type 1 connection allows you to make a fast and safe hookup between your Weber® gas grill and the LP tank.

NOTE: Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water column pressure.

• Replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by WeberStephen Products LLC.

• 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% of CSA and ANSI requirements.

Before using your grill for the first time, you need to obtain an LP tank. New tanks can be purchased full; empty tanks can be refilled or exchanged. You may choose to purchase a spare LP tank so that you don't run out of fuel in the middle of cooking a meal.

m WARNING: Never store an extra (spare)

LP tank under or near the Weber® gas grill.

INSTALLING THE LP TANK

LP tanks can vary based on the shape of the top collar assembly (the metal protective ring around the tank valve). Its shape determines how a tank will hang on the tank scale. One type of tank mounts with the valve facing forward (1). The other type mounts with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (2). To properly install your LP tank, first identify what type of tank you purchased. Weber recommends LP tanks with a 47.6lb water capacity. Other tanks may be acceptable for use provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (tank scale).

The LP tank is installed inside the base cabinet, on the tank scale (right side).

Prepare Grill for Tank Installation

A) Check that all burner control knobs are in the off

( ) position. Your grill was shipped with control knobs in the off ( ) position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off. If your grill has a side burner, make sure the side burner control knob is turned off.

B) Lift and remove tank screen.

Install the LP Tank

A) Loosen tank lock wing nut. Swing tank lock up(3). B) Turn the LP tank so the opening of the valve is either

to the front or side of the Weber® gas grill.

m WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank

valve is closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.

C) Lift tank up into position on the tank scale (4). D) Swing the tank lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

Connect the Regulator / Hose to the Tank

A) Remove the plastic dust cover from the tank valve. B) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve,

turning clockwise, or to the right (5). Hand-tighten

only.

NOTE: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight.

m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to

tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

LP TANK INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

FUEL LEVEL

The tank scale, a feature on some of our grills, will indicate the propane supply so you can refill the tank before running out of fuel. Check the fuel level by viewing the orange level indicator line, located on the side of the tank scale. When the indicator line is at the bottom, the tank is empty (1). When it is in the middle, the tank is half full (2). When it is at the top, the tank is full (3).

REMOVING THE LIQUID PROPANE TANK FOR REFILLING OR REPLACEMENT

A full LP tank will last about 18–20 hours of cooking time at normal use. You do not have to run out of fuel before you can refill the tank. In fact, we recommend that you refill the LP tank before it is completely empty.

Removal of the LP Tank

A) Close tank valve (turn clockwise) (4). B) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning

counterclockwise, by hand only (5).

C) Loosen tank lock wing nut and turn tank lock up out of

the way (6).

D) Lift tank off tank scale.

FILLING THE LP GAS TANK

Proper filling of your tank is done by weight or volume, as described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station uses one of these two methods, and ask your filling station to read the purging and filling instructions on the LP tank before attempting to fill it.

m DANGER

NEVER store a spare LP tank 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.

m WARNING: We recommend that your LP

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

NOTE: Be certain tank is purged of trapped air prior to first filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?

The fuel system in your grill features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings.

Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.

PARTIAL DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR GRILL FOR A LEAK CHECK

In order to do the leak check, you need to have access to the gas valves, which will require some simple grill disassembly.

Confirm that Grill Is Off

A) Turn gas supply off at source. B) Check that ALL burner control knobs are in the off

) position (1). Control knobs are shipped in the off

( ( ) position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing control knobs in and turning them clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off. If your grill has a side burner, make sure the side burner control knob is turned off.

Remove Control Panel

You will need: A Phillips screwdriver. A) Disconnect the two wires from the igniter button

located on the underside of the control panel (2).

NOTE: Pull from terminals at ends of wires.

B) Remove control knobs (3). C) Remove the screws from the front of the control panel

with a Phillips screwdriver (4).

D) Carefully lift control panel up and then pull forward

away from frame (5).

Your grill is now ready for a leak check. Proceed to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS.”

12 WWW.WEBER.COM

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

m DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

m WARNING: The gas connections of your

gas grill have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.

m WARNING: Perform these leak checks

even if your grill was dealer or store assembled.

m WARNING: You should check for gas

leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

NOTE: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flametested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. (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.)

A) Turn gas supply on at source (1).

m WARNING: Do not ignite burners when

leak checking.

B) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and

water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections:

a) Regulator hose-to-bulkhead connection (2). b) Corrugated manifold hose-to-bulkhead

connection (3).

c) Corrugated manifold hose-to-manifold

connection (4).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at

connections (2, 3 or 4), turn off the gas, tighten the fitting with a wrench, and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after tightening the fitting, turn off the gas. DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

TIPS & HINTS

• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on high heat and close lid; preheat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500°–550°F (260° – 290°C).

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

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

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

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

• Crowding food onto a cooking grate means more time will be required to cook the food.

• 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.

• Foods in containers, such as baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole than in a shallow baking pan.

• 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.

• 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.

PREHEATING

Preheating the grill before grilling is important. To preheat: Light your grill according to the instructions in the Owner’s Guide; then turn all burners to start/high ( ) position, close the lid, and preheat 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. After preheating, you can adjust the individual burners as desired.

m WARNING: Should the burners go out

while grill is in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight grill, using the igniting instructions.

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.

FLAVORIZER® SYSTEM

The closed lid and Flavorizer® bars produce that “outdoor” flavor in the food. When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer® bars, they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible grilled flavor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, the Flavorizer® bars, and the flexible temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames.

DRIPPINGS AND GREASE

Because of the special design of the Flavorizer® bars and burners, excess fats are directed down the slide-out grease tray and into the catch pan. Disposable drip pans that fit the catch pan are available.

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

• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than small pieces of meat.

14 WWW.WEBER.COM

• 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.

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

SAFETY CHECKS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL

SAFETY FIRST

It’s a good idea to get in the habit of performing a few safety checks before grilling.

Safety must be considered when you are deciding where to place and operate your grill. Be sure to read the following warnings before installing or using your grill.

WARNINGS:

m Only use this grill outdoors in a well-

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

m Your Weber® gas grill shall not be

used beneath overhead combustible construction.

m Your Weber® gas grill is not intended

to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

m Do not use the grill within 24 inches of

combustible materials. This includes the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.

m Keep the cooking area clear of

flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.

m Keep ventilation openings for tank

enclosure free and clear from debris.

m The entire cookbox gets hot when in use.

Do not touch.

m Do not move the Weber® gas grill when

operating or while grill is hot.

When you are getting ready to grill, your first thought should always be safety. Following are a few safety checks that you should perform each time you grill.

SLIDE-OUT GREASE TRAY

Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which funnels grease away from food and into removable containers.

Check the slide-out grease tray for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (1). Wash the grease tray with a soap and water solution and rinse with water.

m CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out

grease tray with aluminum foil.

CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN

Grease from the slide-out grease tray funnels into a catch pan. Cleaning the catch pan is just as important as cleaning the slide-out grease tray.

Check the catch pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse with water. To keep the catch pan cleaner longer, you can line the catch pan with a Weber disposable drip pan or with aluminum foil.

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. A grease fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.

HOSE INSPECTION

The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of cracking (3).

m WARNING: Check hose before each use

of grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Weber

authorized replacement hose. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.

METHODS OF BURNER IGNITION

There are two ways to ignite burner 1. The first is by using the electronic Crossover® ignition system built into your grill. The second is with a match.

Next are the steps for igniting your grill using the electronic Crossover® ignition system. On the following page are steps for igniting your grill with a match.

Lighting instructions can be found on the left side table of your grill.

MAIN BURNER IGNITION & USAGE

MAIN BURNER IGNITION

Electronic Crossover® Ignition System

The electronic Crossover® ignition system ignites burner 1 with a spark from the igniter electrode inside the Gas Catcher™ ignition chamber. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the igniter button. You will hear the igniter clicking. Burner(s) 2 (and 3) can be lit after burner 1 is lit.

A) Open the grill lid (1).

m DANGER

Failure to open the lid before igniting the grill’s burners, or not waiting five minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosive flareup which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

B) Make sure ALL burner control knobs are turned

off(2). Check by pushing control knobs in and turning them clockwise until they stop.

m WARNING: The burner control knobs

must be in the off ( ) position before you turn on the LP tank valve. If they are not in the off ( ) position when you turn on the LP tank valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank. If this should occur, turn off the LP tank valve and burner control knobs. Start over.

m DANGER

When the “excess gas flow control” feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning off the LP tank valve and burner control knobs, wait at least five minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the grill. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. This plastic must be removed before you attempt to ignite your grill. Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.

MEAL-TO-MEAL

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your gas grill each time you grill out is an essential step that will keep your grill in top performance for years to come. Here we will guide you through the step-by-step instructions for cleaning your grill before each meal to ensure your food comes out perfect each time. For a deeper clean, refer to the annual maintenance section.

CLEANING FOR GREAT MEALS

The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following three simple, yet important steps that should be followed prior to every time you grill.

MAINTAINING THE GREASE MANAGEMENTSYSTEM

The first step in our Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan is to inspect the grease management system. Your grill was built with a grease management system which consists of an angled slide-out grease tray and catch pan. Grease is channeled down the slide-out grease tray and into the catch pan.

You will need: A plastic scraper. A) Confirm that grill is off and cool. B) Remove the slide-out grease tray by easily pulling the

tray out of the cabinet. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (1).

m CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out

grease tray with aluminum foil.

C) Remove the catch pan. Lift the disposable drip pan out

of the catch pan (2). Check for excessive amount of grease. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a new one.

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. A grease fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.

PREHEATING THE GRILL

Preheating your grill is the second step. The heat burns off or loosens the bits and pieces of the previous meal.

A) Open the grill lid (3). B) Light your grill according to the ignition instructions

in this guide or on the inside door or side table of your gas grill.

C) Close lid. D) Turn all burners to start/high for 10 to 15 minutes

or until thermometer registers 500° - 550°F (260°-290°C) to preheat the grill (4).

E) Once grill is preheated, continue with cleaning the

cooking grate as described next.

m WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue

mitts or gloves when operating grill.

CLEANING THE COOKING GRATE

Finally, the last step is to brush the debris off the hot cooking grate(s).

You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush. A) Immediately after preheating, brush the grates with

a stainless steel bristle grill brush (5). This step is not only for cleanliness. It also prevents food from sticking.

m CAUTION: 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.

If you notice that your grill has hot or cold spots, or the flames are not burning blue, you will need to perform a more thorough cleaning of the burner tubes. Refer to “CLEANING FOR SAFETY” section for more details.

WWW.WEBER.COM

CLEANING THE BURNERTUBES

Over time, with repeated use, your grill may show symptoms that it needs a more thorough cleaning. Some of these symptoms are:

• Grill does not reach desired temperature

• Grill heats unevenly

• One or more of burners fail to ignite

• Smell of gas and improper flame pattern

These symptoms arise because the burner tubes need extra care. It is essential to clean the burner tubes to keep your grill performing as safely and efficiently as on day one.

m DANGER

Failure to correct any problems described on this page may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

CLEANING FOR SAFETY

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

The burner tubes in your Weber grill were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burner tubes are performing correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern. The tips may occasionally flicker yellow (1), with a descending light blue (2) to dark blue flame (3). If the flames do not match the above flame pattern description, it could be a indication that the burner ports and/or spider/insect screens need cleaning.

Below is important information about the maintenance of these two key components of the burner tubes.

CLEAN THE BURNER TUBE PORTS

Over time, from repeated use of the grill, the burner tube ports (4) may become dirty and blocked. Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow. This obstruction could result in a fire (5) in and around the gas valves, causing serious damage to your grill

Common symptoms of blocked or dirty ports may include:

• Grill does not reach desired temperature

• Grill heats unevenly

• One or more of the burners fail to ignite

• Gas is smelled in conjunction with some or all of the ports not lighting.

Note: The above symptoms can also be a sign that the “excess gas flow control” feature has activated. Refer back to “MAIN BURNER IGNITION” to reset the excess flow safety device.

You will need: A clean stainless steel bristle grill brush. Do not use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates. A) Confirm that grill is off and cool. B) Remove cooking grates and Flavorizer C) Use the brush to clean the outside of the burner tubes

and the Crossover along the tube, as this will only push debris from one hole to another. Note that the burner tubes will move slightly, as if they are loose, this is normal.

D) When cleaning burner tube 1, avoid damaging the

CLEAN THE SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS

The combustion air openings of the burner tubes (1) are fitted with stainless steel screens to help prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the venturi (tapered) section (2) of the burner tubes. These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow, and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion air openings (3). This obstruction could result in a fire (4) in and around the gas valves, causing serious damage to your grill. Additionally, dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the burner tube.

Symptoms of spider/insect screen obstruction include:

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

You will need: A Phillips screwdriver, soft bristle brush (toothbrush). A) Disconnect the two wires from the igniter button

located on the underside of the control panel (5).

NOTE: Pull from terminals at ends of wires.

B) Remove control knobs (6). C) Remove the screws from the front of the control panel

with a Phillips screwdriver (7).

D) Carefully lift control panel up and then pull forward

away from frame (8).

E) Check the spider/insect screens at the ends of the

burner tubes and clean them using the soft bristle brush (9).

m CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect

screens with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.

F) Reinstall control panel by aligning valve stems with

holes in control panel. Position top edge of control panel on tabs of frame assembly. Push control panel down into position.

G) Fasten control panel with screws. H) Place control knobs onto valve stems. I) Connect the wires to the igniter button.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Over time the performance of your grill can diminish if has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all possible side effects of poor grill cleaning and maintenance. Cleaning from the top to the bottom of your grill will ensure you get all of the vital areas thoroughly cleaned each and every time.

To obtain replacement disposable drip pans, cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars,contact thelocal retailerin your areaor log onto www.weber.com. If you need furtherassistance, contact your Customer Service Representative.

CLEANING FOR PERFORMANCE

Preventative Maintenance consists of cleaning several areas on the inside of your grill as well as the outside. When your grill is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside from the top down to keep your grill running at peak performance.

m WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas grill

off and wait for it to cool before giving it a thorough cleaning.

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. This deposit 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.

You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush, paper towel. A) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the

lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (1). To minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after cooking while the grill is still warm (not hot).
