GETTING STARTED
Important Information about LP Gas & Gas Connections
What Is LP Gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, 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 tank, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the tank, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
Safe Handling Tips for LP Gas Cylinders
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your WEBER gas grill.
· Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.
· Although your LP cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
· LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
· Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.
· LP cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
· The LP cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
· Cylinders must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device) and a CGA #600 cylinder connection. The cylinder connection must be compatible with the grill connection.
Regulator Connections
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 LP cylinder. Each WEBER pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.
· The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water column pressure.
Installing the LP Cylinder
Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of 16.4 oz./465 g (1.02 lbs) equipped with a CGA #600 connection and marked "propane" only.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.
2) Push LP cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise until tight (A). With the LP cylinder in place, the release lever of the cart becomes locked, preventing the grill from being lowered.
Removing the LP Cylinder
Every time you need to lower the grill cart, or your LP cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.
2) Unscrew LP cylinder from regulator and remove it from the grill.
Storage and/or Travel
Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) the cylinder is empty; 2) the grill is being transported; 3) the grill is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area; 4) the grill is not in use.
· Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
· Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
· Do not store or transport a disconnected LP cylinder inside the grill.
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:
· The WEBER gas grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used. (Refer to "CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS" and "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.")
· 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 spider/insect screen should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.")
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank 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 tank. The fuel system in your grill features factorymade connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-tested. WEBER recommends performing a thorough leak check after assembly, as well as every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting. The following fittings should be tested:
· Where the cylinder connects to the regulator.
· Where the regulator connects to the valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.
2) Wet fittings (B) 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.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (C), remove the propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a different propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with a soap and water solution. If the leak persists, remove the propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (D), turn off the gas. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE REGULATOR. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) 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.

m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under or near this grill. Never fill the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked "Propane" only.
m 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.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a gas leak present.
m DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the liquid propane tank: 1) Move away from liquid propane tank. 2) Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself. 3) Call your fire department.

OPERATION
The Very First Time You Grill
A
Perform an Initial Burn-Off
Heat the grill on the highest setting, with the lid closed, for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling for the first time.
Every Time You Grill
Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important, steps that should always be performed prior to grilling.
Check for Grease
Your grill was built with a grease management system that funnels grease away from food and into a disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled down the cookbox and into a disposable drip tray that lines the slide-out catch pan. This system should be cleaned each and every time you grill to prevent fires.
1) Confirm that the grill is off and cool.
2) Remove the slide-out catch pan (A). Check for excessive amounts of grease in the disposable drip pan that lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a new one.
4) Reinstall all components.
Preheat the Grill
Preheating the grill is critical to successful grilling. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. It also burns off residue of a previously cooked meal.
1) Open the grill lid.
2) Ignite your grill according to the ignition instructions in this Owner's Manual.
3) Close lid.
4) Preheat the grill with the burner on the start/high position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer registers 500° F (260° C) (B).
Clean the Cooking Grate
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grates will also prevent your next meal from sticking.
1) Brush the grates with a stainless steel bristle grill brush immediately after preheating (C).
6
B
C
m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out catch pan or cookbox with aluminum foil.
m DANGER: Check the slide-out catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
m WARNING: Use caution when removing slide-out catch pan and disposing of hot grease.
m WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating grill.
m WARNING: 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 bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.
m WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around tank clear and free of debris.
Igniting the Grill

PRODUCT CARE
Cleaning and Maintenance
A
Cleaning the Inside of the Grill
Over time, the performance of your grill 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.
A thorough cleaning is recommended when the grill is going to be folded and stored vertically, or at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings. When your grill is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice "paint-like" flakes
on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke
B
vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the
inside of your lid. These deposits will eventually peel,
and looks 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.
1) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A). To minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after grilling while the grill is still warm (not hot).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates as recommended, the debris on your grates should be minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris off your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (B).
2) Take the grates out and set aside.
Cleaning the Burner
Two areas on the burner that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small openings running along the length of the burner) and the spider/insect screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is essential for safe operation.
Cleaning the Burner Ports
1) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the burner ports (C). Do not brush lengthwise. along the tube, as this will only brush debris from one port to another.
2) When cleaning the burner, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully brushing around it.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
1) Locate the end of the burner behind the control panel where it meets the valve (D).
2) Clean the spider/insect screen on the burner using a soft bristle brush (E).

m WARNING: Turn your grill off and wait for it to cool before thoroughly cleaning.
m 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.
m CAUTION: Do not place any grill components onto the side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless steel surfaces.
m CAUTION: Do not use any of the following to clean your grill: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.
Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation
F
or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can
cause a fire.
1) Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides and bottom of the grill into the opening in bottom of the cookbox (F). This opening leads debris into the slide-out catch pan.
Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of a slide-
out catch pan and a disposable drip tray(G). These
components were designed to be easily removed,
cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time you
prepare to grill. Instructions on inspecting the grease
management system can be found in MEAL-TO-MEAL
G
MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning the Outside of the Grill
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, 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 grills. Use a microfiber 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 color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.
Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled 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 Grills that are in Unique Environments
If your grill 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 grill 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.
