Installation

The Weber 7581 Q Replacement Thermometer is designed for direct replacement on Weber Q 120, 220, 300, and 320 series grills. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Ensure Grill is Cool: Before starting, make sure your Weber Q grill is completely cool and turned off.
2. Remove Old Thermometer (if applicable): If replacing an existing thermometer, locate the mounting nut on the underside of the grill lid. Unscrew the nut and carefully remove the old thermometer from the lid.
3. Insert New Thermometer: From the outside of the grill lid, insert the probe of the new Weber 7581 thermometer through the designated hole. Ensure the thermometer face is oriented correctly for easy reading.
4. Secure with Mounting Hardware: From the inside of the grill lid, slide the washer onto the threaded shaft of the thermometer, followed by the mounting nut. Hand-tighten the nut initially.
5. Final Tightening: Using a wrench or pliers, carefully tighten the mounting nut until the thermometer is secure and does not wobble. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the thermometer or the grill lid.
