GS4 HIGH
PERFORMANCE GRILLING SYSTEM
The GS4 high performance grilling system sets the standard in the world of gas grilling, and lands Weber in a class of its own. This powerful grilling system is based on over 65 years of grilling experience, culinary expertise, and most importantly, the wants and  needs of the people who matter most – our grilling community. Each component of GS4 was uniquely designed for ease-of-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard grilling experience.

1. INFINITY Ignition The Infinity Ignition is guaranteed to ignite. Rest assured that you’ll be up-andgrilling the first  time, every time.

2. 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 grates.

3. FLAVORIZER BARS
   Stainless Steel 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.

4. Grease Management System
   Drippings that are not vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away from the burners into the disposable drip tray, located within the removable catch pan under the cookbox. Simply remove the catch pan and replace the drip tray as needed.

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.

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).

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 annually. The following fittings should be tested:

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

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 grill if there is a gas leak present.
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.

DANGER: Always close the tank valve before disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly or any gas fitting while this grill is in operation.
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.

Refilling or Replacing an LP Tank

How Much Fuel is in the Tank?
The tank scale indicates the amount of fuel in a standard 20 pound (9.07 kg) tank once the tank 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 tank is full (L).  When it is at the bottom, the tank is empty (M) and needs to be removed to replace or refill.
Removal of the LP Tank

1. Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise (N).
2. Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise by hand (O).
3. Loosen tank hand nut and turn tank lock up out of the way.
4. Lift tank off tank scale.

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 (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.

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.

Food Temperature Probe Care

Cleaning the Food Temperature Probe
Clean probe before first use. The probe should be cleaned by wiping with water and a damp cloth.
The food temperature probes are not dishwasher safe or waterproof and damage may result from excessive water exposure. Never submerge the probes directly in water or other liquids.
Storing Food Temperature Probe Once cleaned, neatly wrap the probe when not in use and store indoors.

The Flame – Direct or Indirect

DIRECT HEAT SETUP

INDIRECT HEAT SETUP

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 15 minutes on high.
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.

Optimize Grill Space

Using the TUCK-AWAY Warming Rack
Use the warming rack up to keep food warm or fold it down when not in use. To fold the warming rack down, lift rack slightly and rotate downward. Use heat- resistant mitts or gloves when adjusting rack.

Grilling at Night
Using the Lighted Control Knobs
The burner control knobs light up with the pusof a button. To turn on or off, simply push the power button located on the right side of the control panel.

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 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.
   

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 attachedto 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.

315 Igniter Module Wire Chart

GAS FLOW 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.

LOSS OF POWER

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 cook, you can instead connect an external rechargable power bank, sold sperately.
The power bank should have a minimum capacity of 10,000 mA hours with a 5 volt micro USB connector.
The shelf inside the grill cabinet can accept a power bank with a maximum dimension of 4″ wide x 7″ deep x 1.25″ high.

WEBER CONNECT Wire Chart

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.
