Important Information about LPGas &
Gas Connections
What Is LP Gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane,
or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleumbased 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 gas.
Safe Handling Tips for LP Gas Cylinders
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need
to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these
instructions before using your WEBER gas grill.
• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.
• Although your LP cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may
still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and
stored accordingly.
• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures
can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the cylinder will become too hot
to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in
a car on a hot day.
• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
• The LP cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders,
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard
for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
• Cylinders must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling
Prevention Device) and a CGA #600 cylinder connection.
The cylinder connection must be compatible with the grill
connection.
Regulator Connections
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 cylinder. Each WEBER
pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.
• The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas grill
must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water
column pressure.
Installing the LP Cylinder
Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of 16.4 oz./465 g
(1.02 lbs) equipped with a CGA #600 connection and marked
"propane" only.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by pushing it
in and turning it clockwise to the o (
2) Push LP cyl inder into r egulato r and turn clockwis e until

) position.
Removing the LP Cylinder
If your LP cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these
instructions to remove it.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by pushing it
in and turning it clockwise to the o (
2) Un screw LP c ylinder from regulator and remove it from
the grill.
) position.
Storage and/or Travel
Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) the cylinder is empty; 2) the grill
is being transported; 3) the grill is being stored in a garage or
other enclosed area; 4) the grill is not in use.
• 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 store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area.
• Do not store or transport a disconnected LP cylinder inside
the grill.
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is
important to follow these guidelines:
• The WEBER gas grill should be checked for gas leaks
and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used.
(Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE.”)
• Check that the areas under the cookbox and the removable
catch pan are free from debris that might obstruct the flow
of combustion or ventilation air.
• The spider/insect screen should also be checked for any
obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)
m WARNING: It may be hazardous to attempt to fit
other types of gas containers.
m IMPORTANT: We recommend that you replace the
gas hose assembly on your gas grill every five
years. Some countries may have requirements
that the gas hose be replaced within less than five
years, in which case that country’s requirement
would take precedence.
For replacement hose, regulator, and valve
assemblies, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our web site.
Log on to weber.com.
m This appliance is not suitable for installation or
connection to a reticulated gas supply.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under or
near this grill. 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: Do not use a wrench to tighten the
connection. Using a wrench could damage the
regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked "Propane"
only.

GETTING STARTED
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank is properly installe d, it is nec essar y to
perf orm a leak ch eck. A leak check is a reliable way to verif y
that gas is not escaping after you conne ct the tank. The fu el
system in your grill feature s factory-ma de connections that
have bee n thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the b urners
have bee n flame-tested.
WEBER recommends performing a t horough leak check
after assembly, as well as ever y time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting. T he following fitt ings should be
tested:
• Where the cylinder connects to the regulator.
• Where the regulator connects to the hose.
• Where the hose connects to the valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by pushing it
in and turning it clockwise to the o ( ) position.
2) Wet fittings (A) with a soap and water solution, using a
spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make y our own soap
and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80%
water; or, you can purchase leak check solut ion in the
plumbing section of any hardware stor e.
3) If bubbles appear the re is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (B), remove the propane
cylinder. DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a
diere nt propan e cylind er and recheck for le aks with
a soap and w ater solution. If the leak per sists, remove
the prop ane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
Contact the Customer Ser vice Representative in y our
area usin g the contact infor mation on our website .
b) If the le ak is at the re gulator (C) or burn er valve (D),
turn o th e gas. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE
REGUL ATOR. DO NOT OPERATE T HE BARBECUE. C ontact
the Customer Ser vice Representative in your area using
the contact infor mation on our website.
If a leak is present, contact the Customer Ser vice
Repres entativ e in your area using the co ntact
information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appea r, leak checkin g is complete:
a) Rinse connections with water.
NOTE: Since so me leak test solutions, including soap and water,
may be slightly corrosive, all c onnectio ns should be rin sed with
water after checking for leaks.

Before You Cook
Season the Cooking Surface
This process takes time, so give yourself a few hours to
complete it before you cook.
Tools Needed: Tongs, lint-free paper towels or cotton cloth,
neutral cooking oil.
Before your first cook, you will need to season your griddle.
Seasoning creates a stick-resistant, protective coating so you
can make delicious eggs, pancakes, burgers, and fajitas for
years to come. A seasoned griddle is darkened in appearance
from edge to edge. To achieve this, season your griddle at
least 3 times before use. Here's how:
1. Open the protective hard cover.
2. The griddle has been coated with a food-grade oil for
protection. This oil is not to be used for seasoning.
CAUTION: Do not burn o the oil.
3. With the griddle in place on the grill, handwash the
griddle, rinse, and thoroughly dry.
NOTE: The griddle must be COMPLETELY dry before
continuing the seasoning process.
NOTE: This will be the ONLY TIME you use soapy water on
your griddle.
4. Pour ¼ cup of a neutral oil (i.e. canola oil, vegetable oil,
grapeseed oil) into a bowl.
5. Dip a paper towel or cotton cloth into the bowl (D),
squeezing o the excess oil. Wipe the griddle from side
to side, top to bottom as evenly as possible (E).
A
B
C
6. Be sure to get the interior and exterior sides of the
griddle as well. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean
paper towel or cotton cloth if necessary.
7. Light the burner(s) and preheat your griddle on the
high temperature setting (F). The surface will begin
to smoke and darken (approximately 10 minutes). If
any oil begins to bead on the surface, use gr ill mitt s,
tongs, and paper towel to wipe the excess oil f rom
the griddle (G).
NOTE: By the end of the seasoning process, a well-seasoned
griddle will be dark from edge to edge.
8. The surface will darken and begin to smoke. When the
surface stops smoking (additional 20 minutes), turn
o the grill.
m IMPORTANT: Allow the griddle to cool completely, approx.
30 minutes.
9. The griddle now has 1 coat of seasoning. Repeat steps
4-7, two more times in order to build the seasoning.

PRODUCT CARE
Every Time You Cook
Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following
simple, yet important steps that should always be
performed prior to cooking.
Check for Grease
Your griddle was built with a grease management system
that collects grease and food debris into a disposable
container. The grease and food debris is channeled into a
disposable drip pan that lines the grease tray. This system
should be cleaned before you move your grill or cook to
preventgrease fires.
1. Confirm that the grill is o and completely cooled.
2. Remove any excess grease or food debris with a
scraper and wipe the griddle clean with a paper
towel. Scrape the grease and food debris down
through the openning on the flat top cooking surface
into the disposable drip pan below (A).
3. Remove the grease tray (B). Check for excessive
amounts of grease and food debris in the disposable drip pan that lines the grease tray. Discard the
disposable drip pan when necessary and replace it
with a new one.
4. Reinstall all components.
Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary to ensure safety
and proper operation of your griddle.
1. Confirm that the griddle is o and completely cooled.
2. Check the 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 griddle. Contact WEBER customer
service for a replacement hose.
Preheat the Griddle
Preheating the griddle is critical to successful cooking. It
helps prevent food from sticking, and ensures the griddle is
hot enough to properly cook your food. Italso helps burn o
any residue of a previously cooked meal.
1. Open the protective hard cover.
2. Ignite your griddle according to the ignition instruc-

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Griddle
The griddle sur face should be cleaned after each use to
preserve it and continue to ensure a non-stic k cooking
surface. Follow these steps for a proper cleaning:
1. After the grill is o and cooled for 5 minutes, use a
metal scraper or spatula to scrape excess grease, oil,
and food debris into the hole in the griddle.
NOTE: For stubborn, stuck on food debris, a small amount
of room temperature water can be used during the scraping
process. DO NOT USE LARGE AMOUNTS COLD WATER WHILE
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE.
2. Using several paper towels, wipe and dry the griddle's
surface, directing any excess grease, oil, and food
debris into the hole in the griddle.
3. Apply small amounts of a neutral cooking oil such as
vegetable or canola across the griddle's surface.
4. Using paper towels, rub the oil evenly around the entire cooking surface. Use more paper towels if needed
to wipe up any excess pools of oil.

Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum
perf ormance are the por ts (small openings running along
the leng th of the bur ners) and t he spider/insect screens on
the front ends of the b urners . Keeping these areas clean is
essential for saf e operat ion.
