Thank you for purchasing a WEBER product. Weber-Stephen Products LLC, 1415 S. Roselle Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067
(“WEBER”) prides itself on delivering a safe, durable, and reliable product.

This is WEBER’s Voluntary Warranty provided to you at no extra charge.
It contains the information you will need to have your WEBER product repaired in the unlikely event of a failure or defect.

Pursuant to applicable laws, the customer has several rights in case the product is defective. Those rights include supplementary performance or replacement, abatement of the purchasing price, and compensation. In the European Union, for example, this would be a two-year statutory warranty starting on the date of the handover of the product. These and other statutory rights remain unaffected by this warranty provision. In fact, this warranty grants additional rights to the Owner that are independent from statutory warranty provisions.

Getting Started

Considerations for Locating your Barbecue
Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:

• An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and no overhead cover (A).
  

• Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls (B).
  

• Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls, the following shall apply (C):
  

  1. at least 25% of the total wall area is completely open; and
  2. at least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted.

• In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the side, back and front wall areas shall be and remain open and unrestricted.

IMPORTANT: This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.

Important Information about LPG & Gas Connections

What is LPG?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG, 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 vaporises and becomes gas.

Safe Handling Tips for Cylinders

• A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your supplier. Do not use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
• Although your cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
• The 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 cylinder where temperatures can reach 51.7°C (125°F) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). Use caution in freezing conditions as well.
• Routinely check the cylinder to ensure the test date has not expired. Do not use a cylinder which has an expired test date.

Cylinder Requirements

• Use cylinders with a minimum capacity of 8.5 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 cylinder.

General Specifications

• Refer to data plate on barbecue for gas type, consumption, pressures and injector sizing details.
• Gas inlet connection – 3/8″ SAE Flare with 5/8″ UNF thread.

Regulator and Hose Requirements

• The pressure regulator supplied with the barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 2,75 kPa and complies with the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.

Cylinder Connection

• A  Hose
• B Regulator
• C Regulator Vent Hole (keep clear)
• D Coupling (tighten clockwise)
• E LPG cylinder valve handwheel (close clockwise)

Spirit Burner Valve Orifice Sizes & Consumption Data

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.

FOIL PANS
Perfect for lining the catch pan to make cleanup convenient and easy.

BRUSH AND MOP
Look for a basting brush with heat-resistant silicone bristles and a long handle. A mop with long, cotton threads that sop up the thinner, vinegar-based sauces.

LPG Cylinder Installation & Leak Checking

Installation Location
The LPG cylinder is hung onto the cylinder scale which is located outside the cabinet base under the right side table. The LPG cylinder will hang on the cylinder scale from the collar assembly (the metal protective ring around the cylinder valve) with the valve opening facing the front of the barbecue. Pass the hose and regulator out through the right frame panel opening (A).

Inspect the Tank

1. Confirm that the LPG cylinder valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.

2. Confirm that the LPG cylinder valve is the proper mating type for the regulator (B).
   

3. Inspect the cylinder valve, including the internal rubber seal for damage or debris (C). If damaged, return LPG cylinder to local retailer.
   

Install The Tank

1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.

2. Lift LPG cylinder into position on the cylinder scale (D).

3. Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder valve, turning clockwise (E). Hand-tighten only. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak. Proceed to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS.”

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 LPG cylinder. The fuel system in your barbecue features factory-made 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 annually.

The following fittings should be tested:

• Where the regulator connects to the LPG cylinder.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
• Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1. Wet fittings (F) 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.

2. Slowly open gas supply by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise while checking for bubbles.

3. If bubbles appear there is a leak:

4. If the leak is at the cylinder (G), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Disconnect the LPG cylinder and return the LPG cylinder to your local retailer.

5. If the leak is at the regulator (H), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

6. If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration (I), 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.

7. If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration (J), turn off the gas. 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.

8. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:

9. Turn gas supply off at the LPG cylinder 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.

Refilling or Replacing an LPG Cylinder
How Much Fuel is in the LPG Cylinder?
The cylinder scale indicates the amount of fuel in an LPG cylinder once the cylinder is hung from the scale. The fuel level is checked by viewing the red level indicator line, located on scale. When the indicator line is at the top, the LPG cylinder is full (K). When it is at the bottom, the LPG cylinder is empty (L) and needs to be removed to replace or refill.

Removal of the LPG Cylinder

1. Confirm that the cylinder valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise (M).
   

2. Unscrew regulator coupling from the cylinder valve by turning anti-clockwise by hand (N).
   

3. Lift LPG cylinder off cylinder scale.

Additional Leak Check Precautions
The following fittings should be tested for gas leaks each time an LPG cylinder is refilled and reinstalled:

• Where the regulator connects to the LPG cylinder (G) and at the regulator (H).

Follow the instructions for “Checking for Gas Leaks”.

• 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 cylinder:

1. Move away from 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 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.

Operation

The Very First Time You Barbecue

Perform an Initial Burn-Off
Heat the barbecue on the highest setting, with the lid closed, for at least 20 minutes prior to barbecuing for the first time.

Every Time You Barbecue
Meal-to-Meal Upkeep
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important, steps that should always be performed prior to barbecuing.

Check for Grease
Your barbecue 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 slide-out grease tray and into a disposable drip tray that lines the catch pan. This system should be cleaned each and every time you barbecue to prevent fires.

1. Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.

2. Remove the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray out of the cabinet (A). Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper.

3. Remove the catch pan. Check for excessive amounts of grease in the disposable drip tray that lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a new one.

4. Reinstall all components.

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

1. Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.
2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or cuts (B). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue.

Preheat the Barbecue
Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grills and gets the grills 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 start/high position for 15 minutes (C).

Clean the Cooking Grills
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from previous use will be easier to remove.
Cleaned grills will also prevent your next meal from sticking.

1. Brush the grills with a stainless steel bristle Brush the grills with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush immediately after preheating (D).

• DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray or cook box with aluminum 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 when operating barbecue.
• WARNING: Barbecue brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grills 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 authorized replacement  hose.
• WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around tank clear and free of debris.

Igniting the Barbecue

Using the Crossover Ignition System to Ignite the Barbecue
The crossover ignition system ignites burner 1 furthest to the left with a spark from the igniter electrode.
You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the igniter button. You will hear the igniter clicking. Burner(s) 2 (and 3) can be lit after burner 1 is lit. 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 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 cylinder.
   

3. Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise (C).
   

4. Begin with burner 1 furthest to the left. Push the burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high position (D).
   IMPORTANT: Always ignite burner 1 first. The other burner(s) ignite from burner 1.
   

5. Push and hold the electronic ignition button (E). You will hear it ticking.

6. Check that burner 1 is lit by looking through the cooking grills and through the cutout in the FLAVORIZER BARS.

7. If the burner does not ignite, 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.

8. When burner 1 ignites, you can turn on burner 2 (and burner 3).

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.

To Extinguish Burners

1. Push each burner control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.
2. Turn gas supply off at the cylinder.

• WARNING: Open lid during ignition.
• WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue while igniting or cooking.
• 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.

Storing Food Temperature Probe
Once cleaned, neatly wrap the probe when not in use and store indoors.

Tips and Hints

The Flame – Direct or Indirect

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, kabobs, 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 caramelization while cooking the food all the way to the center.

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 the 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 surface.

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 ‘miseen 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- caramelized 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.

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 grills 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 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.

1. Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the  lid with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (A). To minimize 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 Grills
If you have been cleaning your cooking grills as recommended, the debris on your grills should be minimal.

1. With grills installed, brush the debris off your cooking grills with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (B).

2. Take the grills out and set aside.

Cleaning the FLAVORIZER BARS
FLAVORIZER BARS catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding flavor to your food. Any drippings that are not vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away from the burners. This helps prevent flare-ups inside of your barbecue, and protects the burners from getting clogged.

1. Scrape the FLAVORIZER BARS with a plastic scraper (C).

2. If necessary, brush the FLAVORIZER BARS with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush.

3. Remove FLAVORIZER BARS and set aside.

Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small 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

1. 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).
2. When cleaning the burners, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully brushing around it (E).

Cleaning the Spider Screens

1. Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the control panel where they meet the valves.
2. Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners using a soft bristle brush (F).

• WARNING: Turn your barbecue off and wait for it to cool before thoroughly cleaning.
• 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 grills 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 grills. Never put sharp objects into the burner port holes.
• CAUTION: Do not place any barbecue
• 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.

Cleaning the Cook box
Look inside the cook box for any grease accumulation 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 barbecue into the opening in the bottom of the cook box (G). This opening leads debris into the slide-out catch pan.
   

Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of an angled slide-out grease tray and a catch pan (H). These components were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time you prepare to barbecue. Instructions on inspecting the grease management system can be found in MEAL- TO-MEAL MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning the Outside of the Barbecue
The outside of your barbecue 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 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-Enameled 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.

Cleaning the Inside of the Cabinet
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the interior of the cabinet. 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.

Troubleshooting

BARBECUE WILL NOT IGNITE
SYMPTOM

•  Burner does not ignite when following the electronic ignition instructions in the “Operation” section of this Owner’s Manual.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• There is a problem with gas flow.

  • If the barbecue will not ignite, the first step is to determine if there is gas flowing to the burners. To check this, follow the instructions below for “Using a Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Burners.”
    If match lighting IS NOT successful, follow the gas flow troubleshooting suggestions on the next page.

• There is a problem with the electronic ignition system.

  • If the barbecue will not ignite, the first step is to determine if there is gas flowing to the burners. To check this, follow the instructions below for “Using a Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Burners.”
    If match lighting IS successful, follow the instructions below for “Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System.”

Lighting Your Barbecue with a Match
Using a Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Burners

1. Open the barbecue lid.

2. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
   off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.
   Note: It is important that all burner control knobs be in the off position before you turn on the LPG cylinder.

3. Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise.

4. Begin with burner 1, furthest to the left. Put match in the matchstick holder and strike match. Insert lit match down through the cooking grates, past the FLAVORIZER BARS and next to the burner (A).
   

5. Push the burner control knob in and turn it anti-clockwise to the start/high position.

6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grills and through the FLAVORIZER BARS (B).

7. 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 repeated attempts fail, follow the gas flow troubleshooting instructions on the next page.

8. If the burner ignites, the problem lies in the ignition system. Follow the instructions for “Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System”.

9. After burner 1 ignites, you can turn on burner 2 (and burner 3).

Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System
When pressing the ignition button 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 color coded to correspond with the terminals on the ignition module. The number of wires will vary per model.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
To obtain replacement parts, contact the local retailer in your area or log onto weber.com.

Igniter Module Wire Chart

GAS FLOW
SYMPTOM

• Barbecue does not reach desired temperature or heats unevenly.
• One or more of the burners fail to ignite.
• Flame is low when burner is on high position.
• Flames do not run the whole length of the burner.
• Burner flame pattern is erratic.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• Some countries have regulators with a “flow limiting device” that has been activated. This safety feature built into the regulator restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas at the LPG cylinder and one or more of the control knobs are not in the off position. It may also occur if you turn on the LPG cylinder too quickly.
  • Reset the “flow limiting device” by closing the LPG cylinder valve and turning all the burner control knobs to the off position. Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to dissipate, then ignite the barbecue again following the instructions in the “Operation” section.
• The LPG cylinder is low or empty.
  • Refill LPG cylinder.
• Fuel hose is bent or kinked.
  • Straighten fuel hose.
• Burner ports are dirty.
  • Clean burner ports. Refer to “Cleaning the Burner Ports.”

SYMPTOM
Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• Spider screens on the burners are obstructed.
  • Clean spider screens. Refer to “Cleaning the Spider Screens” in the Product Care section. Also refer to the illustrations and information in this section about proper flame pattern and spider screens.

SYMPTOM

• The smell of gas and/or a light hissing sound.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• The internal rubber seal in the LPG cylinder valve could be damaged.
  • Inspect the rubber seal for damage. If damaged, return LPG cylinder to local retailer.

GREASY BARBECUE (Peeling Paint & Flare-Ups)
SYMPTOM

• Inside of lid appears to have the appearance of peeling paint.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• The flakes you see are accumulated cooking vapours that have turned into carbon.
  • This happens over time after repeated use of your barbecue. This is not a defect. Clean the lid. Refer to the “Product Care” section.

SYMPTOM

• Experiencing flare-ups when barbecuing or preheating.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• There is leftover food from the previous meal.
  • Always preheat the barbecue on the highest setting for 15 minutes.
• The inside of the barbecue needs to be cleaned thoroughly.
  • Follow the steps in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section to clean the barbecue inside from the top down.

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.
WARNING: Failure to use genuine Weber-Stephen parts for any repair or replacement will void all warranty protection.
CAUTION: The burner tube openings must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.

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 burners. Dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the burners.

CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE
If you are still experiencing any problems, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on weber.com.

LOSS OF POWER
SYMPTOM

• WEBER CONNECT module does not turn on.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• Wires are disconnected.
  • Check that all of the wires are connected securely to the terminals on the back of the WEBER CONNECT module and to the control board inside the cabinet. Refer to the “WEBER CONNECT Wire Chart”.
• Batteries are old.
  • Install new batteries. Refer to “Replacing Batteries for the WEBER CONNECT Module” on this page.
• Alternative external power bank may be depleted.
  • If you are using an optional external power bank, sold separately, disconnect it from the control board and check the manufacturer’s operating guide for information on recharging. Refer to “Connecting an External Power Bank”.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• Bluetooth® is a short range signal only.
  • When the WEBER CONNECT module is on, it is ready to pair. Make sure that Bluetooth® on the smart device is turned on and that the device is near the barbecue.
• Bluetooth® has already paired to another smart device.
  • If the Bluetooth® indicator light is on but is not flashing, it means that it is already paired to a smart device. Turn off Bluetooth® on any smart device that you do not wish to have paired to the barbecue.

SYMPTOM

• Wi-Fi is having trouble maintaining connectivity with a Wi-Fi network.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• Barbecue is out of range of the Wi-Fi network signal.
  • In order to successfully connect your smart device to your local Wi-Fi network, your barbecue must be within range of your Wi-Fi router. If your attempts to connect have been unsuccessful, try moving the barbecue within range of the Wi-Fi router or adding a signal extender for a stronger signal.

ERROR CODE APPEARS ON DISPLAY
SYMPTOM

• During start-up or barbecuing, an error code appears on the digital display.

CAUSE / SOLUTION

• The WEBER CONNECT module is a device that is sensitive to certain external factors. Variations in power supply or radio frequency may affect operation.
  • Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on weber.com.

Auxiliary Power Input
Connecting an External Power Bank
As an alternative to using six D alkaline batteries to power the WEBER CONNECT Module during your cooking session, you can instead connect an external rechargeable power bank, sold separately.

The power bank should have a minimum capacity of 10,000 mA hours, with a 5-volt micro USB connector. The shelf inside the barbecue cabinet can accept a power bank with maximum dimensions of 4″ wide x 7″ deep x 1.25″ high (10 x 17.75 x 3 cm).

To use an external power bank, it is not necessary to remove the alkaline batteries from the battery pack. Instead, after simply connecting the power bank to the control board with the micro USB connector, the WEBER CONNECT module will draw power directly from the power bank.

1. Open the barbecue cabinet.

2. Place the power bank on the small shelf at the bottom of the side panel, adjacent to the battery pack (A).

3. Connect the micro USB cable to the bottom of the control board (B).

4. Turn the power bank on.

Refer to the manufacturer’s operating guide for instructions on how to fully charge the power bank.

Additional information regarding the use of a power bank:

• Do not plug the power bank into an exterior outlet while it is connected to the barbecue.
• Disconnect the power bank from the barbecue and bring it indoors after use.
• The power bank will not supply power to the burner igniters. Refer to “Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System”.
• The micro USB connector on the control board is not for data transmission.
• Do not store the power bank outdoors.
• Fully recharge the power bank before each use.
• Use only if the outdoor temperature is between 10°F (-12°C) and 100°F (38°C), unless the power bank is rated for higher and/or lower temperature conditions. Follow the manufacturer’s operating guidelines..

WEBER CONNECT Wire Chart

Barbecuing Guide

The cuts, thicknesses, weights, and barbecuing times above are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude, wind and outside temperature can affect cooking times. Two rules of thumb: Barbecue steaks, fish fillets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using the direct method for the time given on the chart (or to the desired doneness), turning food once halfway through barbecuing time. Barbecue roasts, whole poultry, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish and thicker cuts using the indirect method for the time given on the chart (or until an instant-read thermometer registers the desired internal temperature). Cooking times for beef and lamb are to medium doneness unless otherwise noted. Before carving, let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees during this time.
