The Weber Genesis II E-335 grill operates on a standard 20 lb. liquid propane tank (not included).

1. Ensure the LP tank valve is closed by turning it clockwise.
2. Place the LP tank into the designated tank scale area within the grill cabinet. The tank scale helps indicate the remaining gas level.

3.3 Checking for Gas Leaks

Always perform a leak test before initial use and after any period of storage or if the tank has been disconnected.

1. Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water.
2. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Open the LP tank valve.
4. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections, including the regulator connection, hose, and manifold connections.
5. Look for bubbles. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the LP tank valve immediately and tighten the connection. Repeat the test. If bubbles persist, do not use the grill and contact Weber customer support.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your grill and ensure optimal performance.

5.2 Cleaning Flavorizer Bars

Periodically, remove the Flavorizer bars and scrape off any accumulated grease or food particles. They protect the burners and vaporize drippings for added flavor.
