Product Features

THE GS4 GRILLING SYSTEM
The GS4 High Performance Grilling System sets a new standard in the world of backyard cuisine, and lands the GENESIS II and GENESIS II LX series of gas grills in a class of their own. This innovative grilling system is based on over 30 years of grilling experience, culinary expertise, and most importantly, avidly considering the wants and needs of the people who matter most – the grilling community.
Each component of GS4 was uniquely designed for ease-of-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard grilling experience. Promising burners that are ensured to ignite every time, smoke infused food that grills evenly and consistently regardless of where it’s placed on the cooking grate, and hassle free cleanup; you are able to focus on what it’s is all about – bringing people together around the grill.
The GS4 grilling system is composed of four key components: The Infinity Ignition, High Performance Burners, FLAVORIZER BARS, and Grease Management System. These components ensure that every aspect of your grilling experience is easy and reliable; from the moment the burners are lit to the general maintenance of your grill. And together, create the strongest grilling engine within every GENESIS II and GENESIS II LX grill.

1. INFINITY Ignition
   The Infinity Ignition is ensured to ignite every time. Backed by a generous warranty, rest assured that you’ll be up-and-grilling the first time, every time.

2. High Performance Burners
   The unique, tapered shape delivers a consistent gas flow from front to back. This provides ultimate heat distribution, ensuring that food grills evenly and consistently anywhere on the cooking grate.

3. FLAVORIZER BARS
   The classic WEBER FLAVORIZER BARS are angled just right to catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding that irresistible smoky flavor that we all know and love to your food. Any drippings not vaporized follow the slope and are funneled away from the burners, down into the grease management system.

4. Grease Management System
   The grease management system helps with the removal of grease while reducing the risk of flare-ups. Drippings that are not vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away from the burners into the disposable drip tray, located within the catch pan under the cookbox. Simply remove the catch pan and replace the drip tray as needed.

GENESIS II FEATURES

  Easy Access Gas Tank Storage
  Mounting the gas tank to the outside of the grill makes the tank easy to access and remove; while also increasing storage space in the cart.

• Open Cart Design
  The sleek open-cart design provides additional room and accessibility of your grilling tools.

The Flame – Direct or Indirect

Grilling Do’s and Don’ts

Preheat each and every time.
If the cooking grates aren’t hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome grill marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always preheat the grill on the highest setting first. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grate heat up for about ten minutes or until the lid thermometer reads 500° F (260° C).

Don’t grill on dirty grates.
Tossing food onto the cooking grates before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stuff” on the grates acts like glue, binding it to the grates and your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure you are grilling on a clean cooking grate. Once the grates are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to make a clean, smooth surface.

Be present in the process.
Before firing up your grill, make sure that everything you need is within arm’s reach. Don’t forget your essential grilling tools, already oiled and seasoned food, glazes or sauces, and clean cooking platters for cooked food. Having to run back to your kitchen not only means missing out on the fun, but 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 grates restricts your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grates clear, with plenty of space between each food item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes grilling involves split-second decisions and the ability to jockey food from one area to another.
So give yourself enough room to operate.

Try not to peek.
The lid on your grill 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 grates are hotter, the grilling times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the flare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on it!

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 desirable level of color and flavor. In nearly all cases, you should turn food just once. If fiddling with it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too much, which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the grill.

Know when to tame the flame.
When grilling, 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, grilling meant one thing: meat (and only meat) charred over open flames. The modern day backyard chef doesn’t need a kitchen in order to prepare a full course meal. Use your grill to make char-grilled appetizers, sides, and even desserts. Register your grill to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We’d love to join you on your grilling adventures.

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 Tanks

• A dented or rusty liquid propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Do not use a liquid propane tank with a damaged valve.
• Although your liquid propane tank may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the tank should be transported and stored accordingly.
• The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright, secure position. LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the tank will become too hot to hold by hand).
• Place dust cap on tank valve outlet whenever the tank is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the tank valve outlet that is provided with the tank valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LP Tank Requirements

• The tank must be approximately 18¼ inches (46.35 cm) high and 12¼ inches (31.1 cm) in diameter with a marked 20 pound (9.07 kg) LPG capacity or 47.6 pound (21.6 kg) water capacity as stated by the manufacturer. Other tanks may be acceptable provided they are compatible with the grill retention means (tank scale).

• The tank used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
  (D.O.T.); or the Canadian Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable.

• Tanks must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device) and a Type 1 (CGA 810) tank connection. The tank connection must be compatible with the grill connection.

• The tank must include a collar to protect the tank valve.

• Tanks must have a D.O.T. certification (A), and a testing date (B) that is within five years of current use. What is a Regulator?
  Your 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 tank. Regulator Requirements

• The regulator and hose assembly supplied with this grill must be used. This regulator has a flow limiting device built into the unit that will restrict the flow of gas in the event that a leak is detected.

• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC (UL-listed Type 1 (CGA 810) tank connection device as described in the latest edition of ANSI Z21.81).

Getting Started

LP Tank Installation & Leak Checking

Installation Location
The tank is hung onto the tank scale which is located outside the cabinet base under the right side table. The shape of the collar assembly (the metal protective ring around the tank valve) determines one of two directions in which the tank will correctly hang on the tank scale (A).

Inspect the Tank

1. Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
2. Confirm that the tank valve is the proper mating type for the regulator (B).
3. Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber seal for damage or debris (C). If damaged, return tank 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. Loosen hand nut and rotate tank lock up (D).
3. Lift tank into position on the tank scale (E).
4.  Rotate the tank lock down. Tighten the hand nut.
5. Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, turning clockwise (F). 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 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 fitting where the regulator connects to the tank should be tested each time a tank is refilled and reinstalled.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1. Wet fittings (G) 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 tank valve counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3. If bubbles appear there is a leak:
   •  If the leak is at the cylinder (H), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the tank and return the tank to your local retailer.
   • If the leak is at the regulator (I), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. 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:
   •  Turn gas supply off at the tank 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 fuel system in your grill features other connections and fittings. These factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-tested. Weber recommends performing an additional thorough leak check after assembly, as well as annually. Instructions for this can be found online at weber.com.

Operation

The Very First Time You Grill
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 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 grill to prevent fires.

1. Confirm that the grill 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 by pressing down on the catch pan latch (B). 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.

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

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

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 all burners on the start/high position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer registers 500° F (260° C) (D).

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 (E).

• DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray or cookbox 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 heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating grill.
• 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.
• WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Weber authorized replacement hose.
• WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around tank clear and free of debris.

Igniting the Grill
Using the Electronic Ignition System to

Ignite the Grill
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 grilling.

1. Open the grill 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 LP tank.
   If they are not, the flow limiting device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.

3. Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds (C).
   Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on slowly. If it is opened too quickly, the flow limiting device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.

4. Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Push the burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high position (D).

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

6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates and through the half-circle cutout in the FLAVORIZER bar.

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. If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 6 to light the remaining burners.

Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section. There you will find instructions on igniting the grill 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 LP tank.

Cleaning and Maintenance
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. When your grill 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 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 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 grill, 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 grill 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 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

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 (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 grill 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 grates in a sink, dishwasher, or selfcleaning 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 grill 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 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 Heat Deflectors
Located under the burners, the heat deflectors distribute heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking. Keeping heat deflectors clean will enhance the cooking performance of your grill.

1. Scrape the heat deflectors with a plastic scraper (G).
2. If necessary, brush the heat deflectors with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3. Remove heat deflectors and set aside.

Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox 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 grill into the opening in bottom of the cookbox (H). 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 grill. Instructions on inspecting the grease management system can be found in MEAL-TO-MEAL 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.

GRILL WILL NOT IGNITE SYMPTOM

Using a Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Burners

1. Open the grill 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 LP tank. If they are not, the flow limiting device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.

3. Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds.
   Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on slowly. If it is opened too quickly, the flow limiting device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.

4. Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Put match in the matchstick holder and strike match. (Matchstick holder is located under right side table.) 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 counterclockwise to the start/high position.

6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates and through the half-circle cutout in the FLAVORIZER BAR.

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.  Replace the matchstick holder by hanging underneath right side table (B)

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.

Troubleshooting

GAS FLOW

GREASY GRILL (Peeling Paint & Flare-Ups) SYMPTOM

Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burners in your grill 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).

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

• 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 WeberStephen parts for any repair or replacement
• will void all warranty protection. CAUTION: The burner tube openings

Grilling Guide

The cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times above are meant to be guidelines. Factors such as altitude, wind, and outside temperature can affect cooking times. Two rules of thumb: Grill 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 grilling time. Grill 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 use the USDA’s definition of 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.
