Important Information about Natural Gas & Gas Connections
What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas (NG) is a combustible, gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane. Natural gas is delivered by your local utility through an underground pipeline system.
General Specifications
· The installation of the barbecue must conform with the requirements of AS/NZS 5601 and the local authority gas or electricity, etc.
· Gas inlet connection – ½” BSP thread. · Refer to data plate on barbecue for gas type, consumption,
pressures and injector sizing details. · Use only a 1.0 kPa natural gas regulator. · The regulator specified for this installation is the
Maxitrol RV48LSM pressure regulator. · Use only AGA approved hose assemblies. · The dust cover (plastic plug supplied with your barbecue)
help keep the open end of the bayonet fitting clean while disconnected.
Hose and Regulator Requirements
· If the hose becomes worn or damaged, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
Pressure Testing the Gas Supply
Maxitrol regulators To set nominal test point pressure of 1.0 kPa: · On FS38 cart models with a Maxitrol regulator fitted, turn
three main burners to the high position. · On SB38 Built-In models with a Maxitrol regulator fitted,
turn four main burners to the high position. Adjust the regulator outlet pressure to 1.0 kPa.

Getting Started

Leak Checking

What is a Leak Check?

Once the hose is properly connected, 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 hose

to the gas supply.

Weber recommends performing a thorough leak check

after assembly, as well as annually. The following fittings

should be tested:

· Where the gas hose connects to the gas supply.

· Where the gas hose and regulator connect to the bulkhead.

· Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1) Wet fittings shown (A) 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 bayonet fitting (B), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.

c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration (C), re-tighten fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If leak persists, turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.

d) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration

(D), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE

BARBECUE.

If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service team in your area using the contact information on our website.

4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete. Turn gas supply valve 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 connection is made to the gas supply:
· Where the gas hose connects to the gas supply (B).

Follow the instructions for “Checking for Gas Leaks”.

Disconnect the Hose from the Gas Supply

1) Turn plug anti-clockwise and pull out. This

automatically shuts off the gas.

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 barbecue if there is a gas leak present.

Operation

Igniting the Main Burners
A Using the One-Handed Ignition to Ignite the Main

Burners

Each control knob operates an individual burner, and each burner ignites independently. Ignite the main burners starting from left to right. All burners should be lit for preheating, however, all burners do not have to be lit while barbecuing.

1) Open the barbecue lid (A).

2) 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.

3) Confirm that gas supply is connected.

4) Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Push the burner control knob in and slowly turn it anti-clockwise toward the ignite position until you hear ticking (B). Once ticking starts, hold the knob in that position for 1-2 seconds and then slowly continue turning anti-clockwise. The burner should ignite before the high position (C).

5) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grills and through the cutout in the

FLAVORIZER bar.

6) If the burner does not ignite within 5 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.

7) If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 5 to ignite the remaining main burners.

Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section. 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 grill and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. It also burns off any residue from the previous meal.

1) Open the barbecue lid.

2) Ignite your barbecue according to the ignition

instructions in this owner’s manual.

3) Close lid.

4) Preheat the barbecue with all burners on the high position for 15 minutes (C).

To Extinguish Main Burners
1) Push each burner control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.

Using the Top-Down Infrared Burner
The top-down infrared burner directs blazing high heat onto the top of meat, searing the surface evenly and creating an edge-toedge caramelised crust with juicy insides. As the heat comes from above, fats flow downward, minimising flare ups. The burner is thoughtfully sized to fit two porterhouse or four eye filet steaks perfectly, and the cooking grill below it adjusts to accommodate larger cuts of meat, casseroles, créme brûlée, and more. 1) Open the lid. Using heat-resistant barbecue gloves,
adjust the level of the upper cooking surface to one of the three positions (A). 2) Push in the infrared burner control knob. Slowly turn it anti-clockwise toward the ignite position until you hear ticking. Once ticking starts, hold the knob in that position for 1-2 seconds. Continue turning knob anti-clockwise, stopping halfway between the ignite and high heat position (B). Hold down the knob in this position for 20 30 seconds as the burner ignites and establishes a continuous flow of gas across the surface of the infrared burner. Once the infrared burner is glowing orange, then it is ignited. Now turn the control knob to desired heat level and release the knob. 3) Keep the lid open while using the infrared burner in the high heat setting for searing (C). Use the infrared burner on the low heat setting for rotisserie/keep warm. Note: Always keep the lid OPEN while using the infrared burner on the high heat setting, and turn food frequently for even searing. Infrared burner performance could be sub-optimal while using the infrared burner and main burners simultaneously.
To Extinguish Infrared Burner
1) Push the control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.
B

m WARNING: Open lid during ignition.
m WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue while igniting or cooking.
m WARNING: Each burner must be ignited individually.
m 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

Operating the Rotisserie

Preparing the Barbecue

Prepare barbecue for rotisserie cooking by removing the warming rack and removing cooking grills (A).

NOTE: Set up the rotisserie with food before igniting the infrared burner.

1) Confirm the rotisserie motor bracket is secured to the side of the cookbox (B). Slide rotisserie motor onto the bracket (C). Plug power cord into power source.

2) To prepare the rotisserie for food, slide one rotisserie

fork into the rotisserie rod (D). Push the rotisserie

rod through the centre of the food. Slide the second

rotisserie fork into the rod and insert the tines of

both rotisserie forks into the food. The food should be

centered on the rod. Securely tighten both rotisserie

fork screws.

3) Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie rod into the motor. Lower the rotisserie rod into the grooves on the cookbox (E).

4) Set infrared burner on the low heat setting.

5) Switch on the motor and close the lid.

Cooking Tips
· Before cooking, make sure that the food is centered and able to rotate. If food is too heavy or irregular in shape, it may not rotate well and should not be cooked using the rotisserie. In such cases, use the indirect method of cooking on the barbecue.
· Truss meat or poultry with string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the rotisserie.
C Use and Care
· Unplug the motor from outlet when not in use, or before cleaning.
· Use a soft cloth to clean the rotisserie motor. Do not use any chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
· Do not submerge motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
· Hand wash rod and forks using mild dish detergent and then dry using soft cloth.
· When not in use, unplug the motor from outlet, remove from the barbecue and store in a dry place out of the reach of children.

Rotisserie Fork Storage
1) Remove forks from rotisserie rod.
2) Store rotisserie forks by placing them on the hooks located within the barbecue cabinet (F).

The Flame Direct or Indirect

HIGH

OFF HIGH

DIRECT HEAT SETUP
Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, such as: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kebabs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish and sliced vegetables.
With direct heat, the fire is right below the food. It sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavors, texture, and delicious caramelisation while cooking the food all the way to the centre.

INDIRECT HEAT SETUP
Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of barbecuing time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish fillets, whole chickens, turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned first over direct heat.
With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the barbecue, or off to one side of the barbecue. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grate.

Barbecuing Do’s and Don’ts

Preheat each and every time.
If the cooking grills are not hot enough, the food will stick and you will likely never have a chance of searing your food properly or developing those handsome sear marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always preheat the barbecue on the highest setting first. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grill heat up for 15 minutes on high.
Don’t barbecue on dirty grills.
Placing food onto the cooking grills before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stuff” on the grills acts like glue, binding it to the grills and your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure that you are barbecuing on a clean cooking grill. Once the grills are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush to make a clean, smooth surface.
Be present in the process.
Before firing up your barbecue, make sure that everything you need is within arm’s reach. Don’t forget your essential barbecuing tools, such as oiled and seasoned food, glazes or sauces and clean cooking platters for the cooked food. Having to run back to your kitchen not only means missing out on the fun, but it could also result in burning your food. French chefs call this `mise en place’ (meaning, `put in place’). We call it `being present’.
Create a little elbow room.
Packing too much food onto the cooking grills restricts your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grills clear with plenty of space between each food item in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes barbecuing involves split-second decisions and the need to move food from one area of the barbecue to another. So give yourself enough room to operate.

Try not to peek.
The lid on your barbecue is for more than just keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it’s for preventing too much air from getting in and too much heat and smoke from getting out. When the lid is closed, the cooking grills are hotter, the barbecuing times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the flare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on your barbecue!
Only flip once.
What’s better than a juicy steak with a deep sear and plenty of beautifully-caramelised bits? The key to accomplishing these results is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we have the tendency to flip our food before it reaches the desired level of colour and flavour. In nearly all cases, you should turn food just once. If you are moving it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too often which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the barbecue.
Know when to tame the flame.
When barbecuing, sometimes the most important thing to know is when to stop. The most reliable way to test doneness of your food is to invest in an instant-read thermometer. This slim little gem will help you pinpoint that critical moment when your food is at its best.
Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Back in the 1950s, barbecuing meant one thing: meat (and only meat) charred over open flames. The modern day garden chef doesn’t need a kitchen in order to prepare a full course meal. Use your barbecue to make char-grilled starters, sides, and even sweets. Register your barbecue to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We’d love to join you on your barbecuing adventures.

Real Smoke A Flavour

Using the Smoker Box

The smoker box can be used with wood chips. WEBER brand wood chips are and available in several varieties to find the smoke flavour that best suits your taste.

1) Place wood chips in the smoker box (A). Close the lid.

2) Place the smoker box on top of the main cooking grill

aligned over one of the burners (B).

3) Ignite the barbecue and preheat for 15 minutes with

the main burners on high. Refer to “Igniting the Main

Burners”.

4) Once the smoker box begins emitting smoke, adjust burners to desired setting.

5) Keep the lid of the barbecue closed while cooking.

Notes: Always use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating your barbecue.

Always barbecue with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.

When you’re finished smoking, turn burners off and close the barbecue lid until the wood chips have extinguished.

In the case of wood chips catching fire, using barbecue tongs push smoker box to back of barbecue and keep barbecue lid closed until the fire has extinguished.

In windy conditions, keep the burner under the smoker box on Medium or higher flame to prevent the wood chips from extinguishing during a cook.

The form of the stainless steel smoker box may change slightly under high heat but will return to shape once it has cooled.

Remove smoker box from the barbecue if not in use.

Always follow the barbecue owner’s manual for specific setup and usage instructions.

Cleaning the Smoker Box
Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.
Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree, a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas barbecue. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas barbecue.

m DANGER: Do not use any flammable fluid or combustible products in the smoker to ignite the wood chips. This will cause serious bodily injury.
m WARNING: Do not remove hot components from the barbecue while in use.
m WARNING: Never use wood that has been treated or exposed to chemicals.
m Always avoid soft, resinous woods like pine, cedar and aspen.

Replacing Batteries for the NIGHTVISION

Lighting

Use alkaline batteries only. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable). If you do not plan to use the barbecue for a month or more, remove the batteries.

1) Close the lid. Locate the battery housing on the side of the lid handle and unscrew the cap (A). Do not change batteries with the lid open.

2) Remove the battery sleeve.

3) Replace three size C batteries (B).

4) Line up graphic indicators (C) on the sleeve and handle as you reinstall the sleeve. Tighten cap.

NOTE: Periodically wipe the lenses with a damp cloth to keep the lights illuminating brightly.

Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners (D) 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.

Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System
When pushing the burner control knob in and slowly turning it anti-clockwise toward the ignite position, you should hear a ticking sound. If you cannot hear the ticking sound, check the battery, then check the wires.
Checking the Battery
There are three potential issues with the battery that supplies the power to your ignition module that need to be checked:
1) Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. (Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.) Check that this plastic wrap is removed.
2) Confirm that the battery is installed correctly (C).
3) If the battery is old, replace it with a new battery.

Checking the Wires
There are two potential trouble spots that need to be checked:
1) Check that the ignition wires are connected securely to the terminals on the ignition button under the control panel.
2) Make sure the ignition wires are properly attached to the ignition module. The wire terminals are colour coded to correspond with the terminals on the ignition module.
