IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & LP GAS CONNECTIONS

EN417

1

WHAT IS LP GAS?

Liquefied petroleum gas, also called
LPG, 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
cartridge, LPG is a liquid. As pressure
is released from the cartridge, the
liquid readily vaporizes and becomes
LP gas.

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

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

Do not store an extra (spare) or
disconnected gas supply cartridge under or
near this grill.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR GAS
CARTRIDGES

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

Tips for Cartridges

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

• Handle “empty” cartridges with the same care as you
handle full cartridges. Even when a cartridge is empty
of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the
cartridge.

• Cartridges should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the cartridge where
temperatures can reach 51° C (the cartridge will
become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not
leave the cartridge in a car on a hot day.

• Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to
the cartridge each time a reconnection occurs. For
example: test each time the cartridge is reinstalled.

• Cartridges must be kept out of reach of children.

• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas).
The valves and orifices are designed exclusively for
liquefied petroleum gas.

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

• The cartridge should not be changed in the proximity
of an ignition source.

m DANGER

STORAGE AND NON-USE GUIDELINES

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

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

• Check that the areas under the cookbox are free from
debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or
ventilation air.

• The Weber gas grill should be checked for gas leaks
and any obstructions in the burner tubes before it is
used. (Refer to “PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL.”)

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

MAINTENANCE.”)

• Disconnect the cartridge if: 1) it is empty; 2) the grill is
being stored in a garage or other enclosed area; 3) the
grill is being transported.

REGULATOR CONNECTIONS &
REQUIREMENTS

Requirements for Cartridges

• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be
altered by the user.

• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.

CONNECTING THE GAS CARTRIDGE TO THE
REGULATOR

Most Weber gas grills are equipped with a pressure
regulator, which is a device to control and maintain
uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the
cartridge.
Use butane/propane disposable cartridges with a capacity
of 470g. The cartridge must have an EN417 valve as
illustrated (1). Use only Weber branded disposable
cartridge model number 17700.

m CAUTION: Only use cartridges that are

marked “BUTANE-PROPANE MIX.”

A) Make sure the burner control knob is turned off by

pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( )
position (2).

B) Make sure the regulator gas control valve is turned off

by turning clockwise until tight (3).

C) Push the disposable cartridge into regulator and turn

clockwise until tight (4).

m WARNING: Hand tighten only. Using

excessive force could damage the
regulator coupling and cartridge valve.
This could cause a leak or prevent gas
flow.

D) Set the disposable cartridge into the gas cartridge

support basket (5).

m WARNING: The disposable cartridge

must fit within the support basket.

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.

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 burner has been flame-tested.
As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fi ttings
for leaks before using your Weber gas grill. Shipping and
handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

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) Make sure regulator control knob is turned off by

pushing it in and turning it counterclockwise to the off
position.

B) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by

pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off (
position (1).

C) Turn gas supply on by turning the regulator gas

control valve anti-clockwise (2).

m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when

leak checking.

D) 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-to-cartridge connection (3).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection

(3), remove cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE
THE GRILL. Install a different cartridge
and recheck for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak persists after
installing a different cartridge, 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.

b) Valve-to-regulator hose connection (4).
c) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (5).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at

connection (4 or 5), remove cartridge. 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.

E) When leak checking is complete, 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.

Now you are ready to use your grill.

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, shed, hut or any
other enclosed area.

m Your gas grill must never be used under

an unprotected combustible roof or
overhang.

m Your gas grill is not intended to be

installed in or on caravans and/or boats.

m Do not use the gas grill in the boot of any

vehicle, or inside an estate car, people
carrier, minibus or caravan.

m Keep the cooking area clear of flammable

vapours and liquids such as petrol,
alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.

m The entire cookbox gets hot when in use.

Do not touch.

m Do not move the gas grill when operating

or while grill is alight.

m When cooking, the appliance must be on

a level, stable surface in an area clear of
combustible material.

m Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or

gloves when operating barbecue.

REMOVABLE CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE
DRIP PAN

Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which
funnels grease away from food and into a removable
catch pan. For your convenience, you can also line the
removable catch pan with a WEBER disposable drip pan,
which will help keep the removable catch pan cleaner
longer.

Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important
as cleaning the cookbox. Check the removable catch pan
for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove
excess grease with a plastic scraper (1). Wash the
removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse
with water.

m WARNING: Check the removable catch

pan or disposable drip 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.

m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox,

removable catch pan or disposable drip
pan with aluminum foil.

• Always preheat the grill before
cooking. Set burner(s) on high
heat and close lid; preheat for
10 to 15 minutes.

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

• Recipe barbecuing times are
based on outside temperatures
of 70°F (21°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.

• Barbecuing conditions may
require adjustment of the burner
control knobs 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.

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

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

• Some foods, such as a casserole
or thin fish fillets, will require
a container for barbecuing.
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.

• 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 cookbox and
removable catch pan are clean
and free from debris.

• Do not line the cookbox with foil.
This could prevent the grease
from flowing into the removable
catch pan.

• If an unwanted flare-up should
occur, turn burner(s) o 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.”

• A light coating of oil will help
brown your food evenly and
keep it from sticking to the
cooking grate. Always brush
or spray oil onto your food, not
directly onto the cooking grate.

• When using a marinade, sauce
or glaze with a high sugar
content or other ingredients that
burn easily, only brush it onto
the food during the last 5 to 10
minutes of barbecuing.

PREHEATING

Preheating the grill before barbecuing is important. To
preheat: Light your grill according to the instructions in this
Owner’s Guide; then turn burner(s) to start/high ( ) position,
close the lid, and preheat grill. This will take 10 to 15
minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature
and wind. After preheating, you can adjust the burner(s) as
desired.

m WARNING: Should the burner(s) go out

while grill is in operation, turn burner
control knob(s) to o position. Open
the lid and wait five minutes before
attempting to relight grill, using the
igniting instructions.

COVERED COOKING

All barbecuing 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, a feature on some of our grills, indicates the cooking
temperature inside the grill. All preheating and barbecuing
is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every
time you lift the lid.

GREASE COLLECTION SYSTEM

Unique cooking grate design features angled, cast-iron
rails that deflect drippings away from the burner tube(s),
preventing flare-ups that can char food. The remaining
drippings flow into a removable catch pan that slides out
for easy cleaning.

KEEPING YOUR
WEBER GAS GRILL IN
TIP-TOP SHAPE

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.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

To keep your gas grill performing as safely and eciently
as on day one, we strongly recommend that you inspect
and clean the spider/insect screen(s) and burner tube(s)
at least once a year. Below is important information about
these two areas of the grill that should undergo annual
maintenance.

If you observe an incorrect flame pattern or blocked
burner port, proceed to the “BURNER TUBE CLEANING OR
REPLACEMENT” instructions on the following page.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

The burner tube(s) in your gas grill was/were factory set
for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame
pattern is shown in illustration and described below:

• Burner tube(s) (1)

• Tips occasionally flicker yellow (2)

• Light blue (3)

• Dark blue (4)

Check burner flame pattern. If the flames do not match the
above description, it could be an indication that the spider/
insect screen(s) has/have become dirty or blocked.

WEBER SPIDER/INSECT SCREEN(S)

The combustion air opening(s) of the burner tube(s) (5) is/
are fitted with stainless steel screen(s) to help prevent
spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building
nests inside the venturi section (6) of the burner tube(s).
These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow, and can
cause gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening(s)
(7). Symptoms of this kind of obstruction include the odour
of gas in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow
and lazy. This obstruction could result in a fire in and
around the gas valve(s), causing serious damage to your
grill (8).

NOTE: If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact information on
our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.

BURNER TUBE PORTS

Over time, from repeated use of the grill, the burner tube
ports will become dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can restrict
full gas flow. Following are ways to determine whether
burner tube ports are dirty or blocked.

• Grill does not reach desired temperature

• Grill heats unevenly

• One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

BEAUTIFUL—
INSIDE AND OUT

WEBER grill owners take a lot
of pride in their grills. Flaunt
your pride and joy. Keep your
grill clean and beautiful—
inside and out—by following
these routine maintenance
steps.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL

To keep the outside of your grill looking its best, use the
following guidelines for safe cleaning.

m WARNING: Turn your gas grill off and

wait for it to cool before cleaningit.

Painted, Enamelled and Plastic Surfaces

Use a warm, soapy water solution to clean outside
surfaces; then rinse with water.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain acid,
mineral spirits, or xylene. Do not use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), cleaners that
contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
grill or cart surfaces.

Fold-out tables are not to be used as cutting boards.

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL

To keep your grill performing safely and efficiently, it is
important to remove any debris and excess grease that
may have accumulated on the inside of the grill. Use the
following guidelines for safe cleaning.

Inside Lid

Flaking, built-up grease resembles paint flakes. Wipe
inside of lid with paper towel to prevent grease build-up.
Wash inside lid with warm, soapy water; then rinse
withwater.

Cookbox Components & Burner Tube

You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, and a stiff
plastic scraper.
A) Scrape and brush the cooking grates with the scraper

and brush. Remove the cooking grates and set aside.

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 grill
brush at the beginning of every spring.

m CAUTION: Do not clean cooking grates in

a self-cleaning oven.

B) Brush any debris off of burner tube. Do not enlarge

burner ports (openings) running along length of
burner tube (1).

C) When cleaning is complete, replace the cooking

grates.

Cookbox

Wash inside of cookbox with warm, soapy water; then
rinse with water.

Removable Catch Pan and Disposable Drip Pan

Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which
funnels grease away from food and into a removable
catch pan. For your convenience, you can also line the
removable catch pan with a Weber disposable drip pan,
which will help keep the removable catch pan cleaner
longer.

Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important
as cleaning the cookbox. Check the removable catch pan
for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove
excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the
removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse
with water.

m WARNING: Check the removable catch

pan or disposable drip 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.

m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox,

removable catch pan or disposable drip
pan with aluminium foil.

The igniter supplies a spark to the igniter electrode
assembly. Whether you are performing routine
maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the ignition
system, read the following to keep your ignition system
working properly.

m WARNING: All gas controls and supply

valves should be in the OFF position.

If the igniter fails to ignite your Q grill, you will need to
pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas flow
or with the ignition system. Begin by attempting to match
light your burner. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION—Lighting
with a Match.” If match lighting is successful, the problem
lies in the ignition system.

MAINTAINING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION
SYSTEM

• Verify that the AAA battery (alkaline only) is in good

condition and is installed correctly (3). Some batteries

have a plastic protective wrap around them. This

plastic must be removed before installing battery. Do

not confuse this plastic with the battery label.

• Make sure that both igniter wires are properly

attached to the igniter module. Black wire to black

terminal (4), white wire to white terminal (5).

• Make sure the electronic igniter button is working by

listening for clicking and looking for sparks at burner.
