IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS

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 cylinder, LPG is a
liquid. As pressure is released
from the cylinder, the liquid
readily vaporizes and becomes
LP gas.

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

STORAGE AND NON-USE GUIDELINES

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

• The gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder when
the Weber

®

gas grill is not in use.

m WARNING: Make sure that the cylinder

valve is closed when the grill is not in
use.

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

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

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

• 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 Weber® gas grill should be checked for gas leaks
and any obstructions in the burner tubes before it is
used.

• The spider/insect screens should also be checked for
any obstructions.

LPG CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

• Use only a 3kg-13kg LPG cylinder.

REGULATOR CONNECTIONS &
REQUIREMENTS

• In the United Kingdom, this appliance must be fitted
with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a
nominal output of 37 millibars. (Supplied with grill.)

• The length of hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.

• Avoid kinking the hose.

• Change the flexible hose when national regulations
stipulate this as a requirement.

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

• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.

• Only a nationally approved low-pressure hose and
regulator must be used.

• Replacement pressure regulators and hose
assemblies must be those specified by the outdoor
cooking gas appliance manufacturer.

• 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.

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

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LPG CYLINDERS

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

• Always close the LPG cylinder valve before

• Do not use a damaged cylinder. A dented or rusty

• Handle “empty” cylinders with the same care as you

• Cylinders must be installed, transported, and stored

• Never store or transport the cylinder where

• Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to

• Cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.

• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas).

• The areas around the cylinder must be free and clear

• The cylinder should not be changed in the proximity of

CONNECTING THE REGULATOR

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 LPG
cylinder.

CONNECTING THE REGULATOR TO THE
LPGCYLINDER

Only use LPG cylinders with a minimum capacity of 3 kg
and a maximum capacity of 13 kg.

A) Remove screw from right cart leg of cart. Insert hose

retention clip. Reinstall screw.

m WARNING: The hose must be secured to

the cart leg by the hose retention clip.
Failure to do so could cause damage
to hose resulting in a fire or explosion,
which can cause serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.

B) Connect regulator to cylinder.

m WARNING: Make sure that the LPG

cylinder or regulator valve is closed.

Some regulators push ON to connect and pull OFF

to disconnect; others have a nut with a left-hand
thread that connects to the cylinder valve. Identify
your regulator type and follow one of the connection
instructions specific to that regulator.

Connect by Turning Clockwise

Screw regulator onto cylinder by turning fitting

clockwise (1). Position the regulator so that the vent
hole (2) faces down.

Connect by Turning Anti-Clockwise

Screw regulator onto cylinder by turning fitting anti-

clockwise (3) (4).

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.

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 ALL burner control knobs are turned off.

Check by pushing burner control knobs in and turning
them clockwise until they stop.

B) Turn gas supply on at source.

Identify your regulator type. Follow the instructions

for that regulator.

Turn Valve
Turn cylinder valve anti-clockwise (1) (2) (3).

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 store­assembled.

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.

BARBECUING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

TIPS & HINTS

• 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) 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.”

• 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 off 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.

COOKING METHODS

DIRECT METHOD OR INDIRECTMETHOD?

The most important thing to know about barbecuing is
which cooking method to use for a specific food, direct
or indirect. The difference is simple. With the direct
method, which is similar to broiling, the food is cooked
directly over the fire. With the indirect method, fire is
arranged on either side of the food. The indirect method
is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that
grilled texture, flavour, and appearance you can’t get
from cooking with an oven. Using the right method is
the shortest route to great results—and the best way to
ensure safely cooked food.

With each method, you can adjust the burners as desired.
The control settings — HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF —
are described in the chart to the right. For example, to
sear steaks, set both burners to HI, then to complete
cooking, set both burners to LOW. For great barbecuing
inspiration, visit www.weber.com/recipes.

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 efficiently
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

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 Weber® 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-down 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 Tubes

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 tubes. 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.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

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
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.

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

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

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ СИСТЕМЫ
ЭЛЕКТРОННОГО ЗАЖИГАНИЯ

Воспламенитель обеспечивает подачу искры в
узле электрода воспламенителя. Проводя текущее
техническое обслуживание или поиск неисправностей
системы зажигания, следуйте приведенным
рекомендациям, чтобы поддерживать систему в
исправном состоянии.

m ОСТОРОЖНО! Все ручки управления

газом и краны подачи газа должны
быть в положении ВЫКЛ.

Если воспламенитель не зажигает горелки гриля Q™,
необходимо определить источник проблемы: поток
газа или система зажигания. Вначале попытайтесь
зажечь горелку спичкой. См. “ЗАЖИГАНИЕ ГОРЕЛКИ

- Зажигание спичкой” . Если зажигание спичками
оказалось успешным, то проблема заключается в
системе зажигания.

ПРОВЕРКА КНОПОЧНОЙ СИСТЕМЫ
ЗАЖИГАНИЯ (Q™3000)

• Убедитесь в том, что оба провода зажигания -

белый (1) и черный (2) - правильно подключены.

• Убедитесь в том, что кнопка воспламенителя
щелкает при нажатии, а затем возвращается в
исходное положение.

ПРОВЕРКА ЭЛЕКТРОННОЙ СИСТЕМЫ
ЗАЖИГАНИЯ (Q™3200)

• Убедитесь в том, что батарея AAA (только щелочная)
в хорошем состоянии и правильно установлена (3).
Некоторые батареи имеют полимерную защитную
оболочку. Ее необходимо снять перед установкой
батареи. Не спутайте оболочку с наклейкой­ярлыком батареи.

• Убедитесь в том, что оба провода зажигания
правильно подключены к модулю воспламенителя:
черный провод к черному соединителю (4), а белый

- к белому (5).

• Убедитесь в том, что кнопка воспламенителя
в электронной системе зажигания работает,
прислушиваясь к щелчку и наблюдая искры у
горелки.

Если система электронного
не зажигает горелку, обратитесь к местному
представителю отдела обслуживания покупателей.
Контактная информация находится на нашем веб­сайте. Посетите сайт www.weber.com.

GRILL LIGHT OPERATION (Q

Press the AWAKE button to activate the grill light. The
light has a ‘tilt sensor’ that will turn on the light if the
grill lid is opened and turn off the light when the grill lid
is closed. If the lid is left open or closed for more than 30
minutes, the grill light will deactivate. To turn the light
back on, press the AWAKE button (1).

NOTE: The light does not turn OFF by pressing the AWAKE
button.

3200™)

MAINTAINING THE GRILL LIGHT (Q™3200™)

• When installing three new AAA batteries (alkaline
only), confirm that each battery’s plastic wrapping has
been removed. Do not confuse this plastic with the
battery label.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline or rechargeable).

• Verify that the batteries are in good condition and have
been installed correctly.

• If you do not plan to use the light for a month or more,
remove the batteries.

• Wipe the light clean with a damp cloth only. Do not
use alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners.

• The light is weather resistant to rain and snow, but not
waterproof. Do not submerge in water / liquids.

• Light is heat resistant. Grease fires or running the
grill on high for an excessive amount of time can
damage internal components.
