REMOVE BOTTOM TRAY FROM GRILL

Remove all tape from packaging. Remove bottom rack from top of packaging. Remove outer box. Pull out bottom tray from cooking box. Remove packaging material from bottom tray, catch pan holder, catch pan, and drip pan. For the Platinum Series II 3400, remove the white plastic from the stainless steel.

REMOVE GRILL FROM LOWER PACKAGING

WARNING: Lifting the barbecue from the lower packaging requires at least two people.
With two people lift straight up and over lower packaging and cardboard support.
Note: For the Platinum Series II 3400, make sure the front doors are securely closed before lifting.

REMOVE PACKAGED PARTS FROM LOWER CARTON

INSTALLATION OF CATCH PAN INTO BOTTOM TRAY

Hook the ends of the catch pan holder into the hole in the bottom tray. Figure 3. The front of the catch pan holder must be on the same side as the finger grip of the bottom tray.

Slide the bottom tray onto the mounting rails under the cooking box with finger grip toward you.
CAUTION: Do not line bottom tray with aluminum foil.
It can cause grease fires by trapping the grease and not allowing grease to flow into the catch pan. Put the foil drip pan into the catch pan.
Slide the catch pan into the catch pan holder with its finger grip towards you.

REINSTALLATION OF STAINLESS STEEL FLAVORIZER BARS

Note: Remove any tape or packing material. Parts are shipped in place. Use these steps to check that they are in position. The Flavorizer bars are already in place.
This step is only for reinstallation.
Set the long stainless steel Flavorizer bars side to side in the lower position of the cooking box. Insert the front two Flavorizer bars through the Steam-N-Chips Smoker flue. Figure 4.Set the short stainless steel Flavorizer bars front to back in the upper position. Figure 5. Place Steam-N-Chips Smoker so it opens towards Flavorizer bars.

REINSTALLATION OF COOKING GRATES

Note: The cooking grates are already in place. This step is only for reinstallation.
Set the cooking grates onto the ledges in the cooking box. The open “U” of the cooking grate goes down. Figure 6.

INSTALLATION OF WARMING RACK
Set the warming rack into the slots at the rear of the cooking box. Figure 7.

INSTALL WARM-UP BASKET
Insert one end of the Warm-Up Basket into the hole in the right end of the lid and the other end into the slot in the left end of the lid. Figure 8.

SET LP FUEL SCALE
You will need: LP tank (empty).
Note – For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an empty tank.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies.
(The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in Figure 9.
Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held up out of the way. Figure 9 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 9 (b).
CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from tank scale.
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

FILL LP TANK

To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center, or look up gas- propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.
CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is equipped with a Type II, CGA #810 quick-disconnect valve. Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see Section “General Tank Information”.

Safe handling tips for LP Gas

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should know this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas that prevent dispersion.

• The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).

• The LP cylinder supply must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
  Note – A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

• Treat “empty” LP tanks with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the tank valve before disconnecting.

• Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must be leak tested each time the LP tank is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP tank is refilled.

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

• The LP tank and connections supplied with your Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.

• Replacement LP tanks supplied by Weber satisfy the requirements. Check to be sure the tank has a D.O.T. certification, and has been tested within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. Figure 10.

If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please call Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the tank valve.
• The LP tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).
