Important Information about LP Gas & Gas Connections
What is LPG?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG or LP gas, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your barbecue. 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 vapourises and becomes gas.
Safe Handling Tips for LPG Cylinders
A dented or rusty LPG cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier. Do not use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
Although your LPG cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
The LPG cylinder must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright, secure position. Cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LPG cylinder where temperatures can reach 50°C (125°F) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand).
There must be no sources of ignition nearby when handling or changing the gas bottle.
LPG Cylinder Requirements
Use cylinders with a minimum capacity of 3 kg and a maximum capacity of 13 kg.
What is a Regulator?
Your gas barbecue 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.
Regulator and Hose Requirements
In Great Britain, this barbecue must be fitted with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a nominal output of 37 millibars.
The length of the hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
Avoid kinking the hose.
Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.
Installing the LPG Cylinder
Cabinet Requirements
The maximum size requirements for cylinders installed inside the cabinet are:
Cylinder Capacity: 13 kg maximum
Cylinder Height: 587 mm maximum
Cylinder Width: 289 mm maximum (rectangular footprint) or 318 mm maximum (round footprint)
The base of the cylinder must fit within the tank holder and rest flat on the bottom.
Several possible cylinder models approved for installation inside the cabinet are illustrated, with dimensions included.
If the cylinder you have does not meet the size requirements for placement inside the cabinet, the cylinder must be placed outside the cabinet on the ground.
[WARNING]: If the LPG cylinder does not meet the cylinder size requirements for placing inside the cabinet, do not attempt to place or connect the cylinder inside the cabinet. Place and connect the cylinder outside the cabinet. Failure to do so could cause damage to the hose resulting in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.
Getting Started: Cylinder Installation
Prepare to Install the LPG Cylinder
The cylinder will need to be secured after installation inside the cabinet.
Open cabinet door.
Thread cylinder strap through the two holes on the side panel (A). Choose the lower or upper cylinder strap holes depending upon the height of your cylinder.
LPG Cylinder Installation
Lift and place the cylinder into the cylinder holder (B) on the bottom panel. The base of the cylinder must fit within the cylinder holder.
Turn the cylinder so the valve opening faces the front of the barbecue.
Secure the cylinder with the cylinder strap (C).
Connect the regulator to the LPG cylinder. Refer to "CONNECT THE REGULATOR TO THE CYLINDER."
Ground Placement Installation
Open cabinet door.
Pass the regulator hose out through the rear opening.
Place the cylinder on the ground, outside the cabinet, behind the barbecue.
Turn the LPG cylinder so the opening of the valve is facing forward.
Connect the regulator to the LPG cylinder. Refer to "CONNECT THE REGULATOR TO THE CYLINDER."
Maximum LPG cylinder capacity INSIDE cabinet is 13 kg.
The length of hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
[IMPORTANT]: We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your gas barbecue 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.
Getting Started: Connecting the LPG Cylinder & Leak Checking
Connect the Regulator to the Cylinder
Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning the knobs clockwise.
Identify your regulator type and connect the regulator to the LPG cylinder by following the appropriate connection instructions. Note: Confirm that the LPG cylinder valve or regulator lever is closed before connecting.
Connection Methods:
Connect by Turning Clockwise (A): Screw regulator onto cylinder by turning fitting clockwise (a). Position the regulator so that the vent hole (b) faces downwards.
Connect by Turning Anti-Clockwise (B): Screw regulator onto cylinder by turning fitting anti-clockwise.
Connect by Turning Lever and Snapping into Position (C): Turn regulator lever (a) clockwise to the off position. Push regulator down on cylinder valve until regulator snaps into position (b).
Connect by Sliding Collar (D): Make sure regulator lever is in the off position (a). Slide the collar of the regulator up (b). Push the regulator down onto the cylinder valve and maintain pressure. Slide collar down to close (c). If regulator does not lock, repeat procedure.
Note: The regulator illustrations shown in this manual may not be similar to the regulator you are using for your barbecue, due to different country or regional regulations.
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LPG cylinder is properly installed, it is necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the cylinder. The following fittings should be tested each time a cylinder is refilled and reinstalled:
Where the regulator connects to the cylinder.
Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Dampen fittings with a soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. 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.
Identify your regulator type. Turn the gas supply on by turning the cylinder valve anti-clockwise (E) or by moving the regulator lever to the on position (F).
Burner Control Knob Settings: OFF, START/HIGH, MEDIUM, SEAR, LOW
[DANGER]: Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks.
[DANGER]: Leaking gas may cause a fire or explosion.
[DANGER]: Do not operate the barbecue if there is a gas leak present.
[DANGER]: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the LPG cylinder: 1. Move away from the LPG cylinder. 2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself. 3. Call the emergency fire services.
[DANGER]: Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly or any gas fitting while this barbecue is in operation.
[DANGER]: Do not store a spare LPG cylinder under or near this barbecue. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
Getting Started: Leak Check and Hose Inspection
Checking for Gas Leaks (Continued)
If bubbles appear there is a leak:
If the leak is at the regulator-to-cylinder connection or the regulator hose-to-regulator connection (G), turn the gas supply off. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
Turn gas supply off and 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.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The following fittings should be tested for gas leaks each time a tank is refilled and reinstalled:
At the regulator and where the regulator connects to the cylinder (G).
Follow the instructions for "Checking for Gas Leaks".
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder
To remove a cylinder:
Confirm that the LPG cylinder valve or regulator lever are fully closed.
From inside cabinet release the clasp on the cylinder retention strap.
Disconnect the regulator.
Remove the cylinder.
Exercise caution if replacing an LP cylinder (tank) during a cooking session. The entire cookbox and grease management system gets hot when in use. Always wear heat resistant gloves or Mitts when handling the LP Cylinder (tank). Fasten cylinder strap after connecting new cylinder.
[DANGER]: Do not line the slide-out grease tray or cookbox with aluminium foil.
[DANGER]: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
[WARNING]: Use caution when removing catch pan and disposing of hot grease.
[WARNING]: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves (conforming to EN 407, Contact Heat rating level 2 or greater) when operating barbecue.
[WARNING]: Barbecue brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace the brush if any loose bristles are found on the cooking grates or brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle barbecue brush at the beginning of every spring.
[WARNING]: If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only WEBER authorised replacement hose.
[WARNING]: Keep ventilation openings around tank clear and free of debris.
[WARNING]: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from heated surfaces.

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.
Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.
Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or cuts (A). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue.
[WARNING]: If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only WEBER authorised replacement hose.
Operation: Igniting the Barbecue
Using the Snap-Jet Ignition System to Ignite Burners
Each control knob snap igniter creates a spark from the igniter electrode to the burner lighting tube. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing in the control knob and turning it to the start/high position. Each control knob operates an individual burner, and each burner ignites independently. Ignite the burners starting from left to right. All burners should be lit for preheating, however, all burners do not have to be lit while cooking.
Open the lid (A).
Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise (B). Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the off position before turning on the LPG cylinder.
Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise or by moving regulator lever to the on position depending on your regulator/cylinder connection.
Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Push and hold the control knob in for two seconds (C) then turn it anti-clockwise to the start/high position until you hear it snap (D). Continue to hold the control knob in for two seconds after you hear the snap. This action will spark the igniter and light the burner.
Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates.
If the burner does not ignite, turn burner control knob to the off position and repeat the lighting procedure a second time. If the burner still does not light, turn the burner control knob to OFF and wait five minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.
If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 6 to light the remaining burners.
Should the burners fail to ignite using the snap ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this Owner's Guide. There you will find instructions on igniting the barbecue with a match to help determine the exact problem.
Preheat the Barbecue
Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. This also burns off any residue from the previous meal.
Open the barbecue lid.
Ignite your barbecue according to the ignition instructions in this Owner's Manual.
Close lid.
Preheat the barbecue with all burners on the start/high position for 15 minutes.
To Extinguish Burners
Push each burner control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.
Turn gas supply off at the LPG cylinder.
[WARNING]: Open lid during ignition.
[WARNING]: Do not lean over open barbecue while igniting or cooking.
[WARNING]: Each burner must be ignited individually by pushing the electronic ignition button.
[WARNING]: If ignition does not occur within four seconds of attempting to light the first burner, turn the burner control knob to the off position. Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.
Operation: Using the Sear Zone
This feature is only available on selected models.
Searing is a direct barbecuing technique used on meats, such as steak, poultry cuts, fish and chops. Searing browns the surface of the food at a high temperature. By searing both sides of the meat, you caramelise the food surface, creating a more desirable flavour.
The two adjacent burners in the sear zone have an additional setting which boosts the heat output to searing temperatures. To use the sear zone:
Open the lid and ignite all of the burners. Refer to IGNITING THE BARBECUE.
Preheat the barbecue with the lid closed and with all burners on the start/high position for 15 minutes.
After preheating, push the two burner control knobs in and turn anti-clockwise to the sear position (E). The sear burners work in tandem (F). The remaining burner(s) can be turned to off or low.
Place meat directly over the sear zone and close lid. Sear each side anywhere from one to four minutes (G), depending on the type and thickness of meat. Once searing is complete, the meat can be moved over to moderate heat and cooked to your desired doneness.
Note: Always cook with the lid closed to achieve maximum heat and to avoid flare-ups.
As you gain experience using the sear zone, we encourage you to experiment with different searing times to find the results that work best for your taste.
To Extinguish Burners
Push each burner control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.
Turn gas supply off.
Operation: Igniting the Side Burner
Using the Snap Ignition to Ignite the Side Burner
This feature is only available on selected models.
If one or more of the main burners on your barbecue are already lit and you would like to ignite the side burner, skip to step 3. If none of the main burners are lit and you are only using the side burner, start with step 1.
Check that the side burner control knob is in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning the knob clockwise (A). Also check that all main burner control knobs are in the off position. Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the off position before turning on the LPG cylinder.
Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise or by moving regulator lever to the on position depending on your regulator/cylinder connection.
Open the side burner lid (B).
Push the burner control knob in (C) and turn it anti-clockwise to the start/high position until you hear it snap. Continue to hold the control knob in for two seconds after you hear the snap. This action will spark the igniter and light the burner.
Check that the side burner is lit. The side burner flame may be difficult to see on a bright sunny day.
If the burner does not ignite, turn burner control knob to the off position and repeat the lighting procedure a second time. If the burner still does not light, turn the burner control knob to OFF and wait five minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.
Once side burner is ignited, continue turning the knob anti-clockwise until you reach the desired position.
If the side burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn side burner control knob to the off position and wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the burner again.
Should the side burner fail to ignite using the snap ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section. There you will find instructions on igniting the side burner with a match to help determine the exact problem.
To Extinguish Side Burner
Push side burner control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.
Turn gas supply off.
Size of Cooking Pan to be Used on the Side Burner
Min. Diameter: 18 cm
Max. Diameter: 26 cm
[WARNING]: Open side burner lid during ignition.
[WARNING]: Do not lean over side burner while igniting or cooking.
[WARNING]: If ignition does not occur within four seconds of attempting to light the side burner, turn the burner control knob to the off position. Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.
Operation: Burner Flame Pattern and Spider Screens
Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burners in your barbecue were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burners are performing correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern. The tips may occasionally flicker yellow (A), with a descending light blue (B) to dark blue flame (C).
[WARNING]: Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow, resulting in a fire (D) in and around the gas valves, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners (E) are fitted with stainless steel screens to prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the venturi section of the burners. These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow, and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening. 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, causing serious damage to your barbecue. Dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the burners. Keep the spider screens clean. Refer to "Cleaning the Spider Screens" in the Product Care section.
[WARNING]: Do not attempt to make any repair to gas carrying, gas burning, ignition components or structural components without contacting Weber-Stephen Products LLC, Customer Service Department.
[CAUTION]: The burner tube openings must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.
Product Care: Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Inside of the Barbecue
Over time, the performance of your barbecue can diminish if it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your barbecue is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside from the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice 'paint-like' flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapours slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your barbecue's lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and look very similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.
Brush the carbonised grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (A). To minimise further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after barbecuing while the barbecue is still warm (not hot).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
Cleaned grates will prevent your next meal from sticking. If you are cleaning your cooking grates regularly, the debris on your grates will be minimal.
With grates installed, brush the debris off your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (B).
Take the grates out and set aside.
Cleaning the FLAVORIZER BARS
FLAVORIZER BARS catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding flavour to your food. Any drippings that are not vaporised by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funnelled away from the burners. This helps prevent flare-ups inside of your barbecue, and protects the burners from getting clogged.
Scrape the FLAVORIZER BARS with a plastic scraper (C).
If necessary, brush the FLAVORIZER BARS with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush.
Remove FLAVORIZER BARS and set aside.
Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small raised openings running along the length of the burners) and the spider/insect screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is essential for safe operation.
Cleaning the Burner Ports
Use a clean stainless steel bristle barbecue brush to clean the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the burner ports (D).
When cleaning the burners, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully brushing around it.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the control panel where they meet the valves.
Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners using a soft bristle brush (E).
Cleaning the Heat Deflector
Located under the burners, the heat deflector distributes heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking. Keeping heat deflector clean will enhance the cooking performance of your barbecue.
Scrape the heat deflector with a plastic scraper.
If necessary, brush the heat deflector with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush.
Remove heat deflector and set aside.
After cleaning, make sure the heat deflector is in place correctly.
Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause a fire.
Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides and bottom of the barbecue into the opening in bottom of the cookbox. This opening leads debris into the slide-out grease tray.
Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of an angled slide-out grease tray and a catch pan. These components were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time you prepare to barbecue.
Cleaning the Outside of the Barbecue
The outside of your barbecue may include stainless steel, porcelain-enamelled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER recommends the following methods based on the surface type.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and barbecues. Use a microfibre cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Do not use paper towels.
Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the colour of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.
Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enamelled Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enamelled and plastic components with warm soapy water, and paper towels or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the Outside of Barbecues that are in Unique Environments
If your barbecue is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your barbecue with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.
Moving the Barbecue
Always check your internal components to ensure they are in place whenever you move your barbecue:
Heat deflector (F) – Ensure it is fully inserted into the cookbox.
Slide out grease tray (G) – Accessed from the back of the barbecue, make sure it is pushed all the way in.
Cleaning Around the Electronic Components
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the interior of the cabinet and around the side tables. Be careful not to pull any of the wire connections when cleaning around the electronic components.
[CAUTION]: NEVER SPRAY THE BARBECUE WITH A STEADY WATER STREAM SUCH AS FROM A GARDEN HOSE OR POWER WASHER. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS COULD BECOME DAMAGED.
[WARNING]: Turn your barbecue off and wait for it to cool before thoroughly cleaning it.
[WARNING]: Over time, the development of rough surfaces can form on the FLAVORIZER BARS. Wearing gloves is recommended when handling. Do not clean FLAVORIZER BARS or cooking grates in a sink, dishwasher, or self-cleaning oven.
[WARNING]: When cleaning the burners, never use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates. Never put sharp objects into the burner port holes.
[CAUTION]: Do not place any barbecue components onto the side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless steel surfaces.
[CAUTION]: Do not use any of the following to clean your barbecue: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.
Troubleshooting
MAIN BURNER(S) or SIDE BURNER WILL NOT IGNITE
SYMPTOM
Main burners or side burner do(es) not ignite when following the ignition instructions in the “Operation” section of this Owner's Manual.
CAUSE
There is a problem with gas flow.
SOLUTION
If any burner does not ignite, the first step is to determine if there is gas flowing to the burner(s). To check this, follow the instructions below for "Lighting Your Barbecue with a Long-Reach Lighter." If burner lighting IS NOT successful, follow the instructions for disconnecting and reconnecting the LPG cylinder.
CAUSE
There is a problem with the ignition system.
SOLUTION
If any burner does not ignite, the first step is to determine if there is gas flowing to the burner(s). To check this, follow the instructions below for "Lighting Your Barbecue with a Long-Reach Lighter." If burner lighting IS successful, contact customer service about checking the ignition system.
Lighting Your Barbecue with a Long-Reach Lighter
Using a Long-Reach Lighter or Long Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Main Burners
Open the barbecue lid.
Check that all burner control knobs (including side burner control knob) are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning the knobs clockwise. Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the off position before turning on the LPG cylinder.
Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise or by moving regulator lever to the on position depending on your regulator/cylinder connection.
Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Insert a lit long-reach lighter down through the cooking grates, past the FLAVORIZER BARS and next to the burner (A).
Push the burner control knob in and slowly turn it anti-clockwise toward the start/high position.
Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates and through the cutout in the FLAVORIZER bar.
If the burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn burner control knob to the off position and wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the burner again.
If the burner ignites, the problem lies in the ignition system. Contact WEBER customer service about checking the ignition system.
Using a Long-Reach Lighter or Long Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Side Burner
Open the side burner lid.
Check that all burner control knobs (including the side burner control knob) are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning the knobs clockwise. Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the off position before turning on the LPG cylinder.
Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise or by moving regulator lever to the on position depending on your regulator/cylinder connection.
Hold a lit long-reach lighter by the side burner (B).
Push the side burner control knob in and slowly turn it anti-clockwise toward the start/high position.
Check that the side burner is lit. The side burner flame may be difficult to see on a bright sunny day.
If the side burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn side burner control knob to the off position and wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the burner again.
If the burner ignites, contact WEBER customer service about checking the ignition system.
