IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LPG GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS
WHAT IS LIQUID PROPANE GAS?
Liquid propane gas (LPG) 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
cylinder, LPG is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the
liquid readily vaporizes and becomes liquid propane gas.
- LPG has an odour similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odour.
- LPG is heavier than air. Leaking liquid propane gas may collect in low areas and resist dispersion.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind
when using liquid propane gas (LPG). Carefully follow these instructions
before using your Weber ® gas grill.
- Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting regulator.
- Do not use a damaged LPG cylinder. A dented or rusty LPG cylinder or an LPG cylinder with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new cylinder immediately.
- Treat “empty” LPG cylinders with the same care as you treat full cylinders. Even when an LPG cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cylinder.
- LPG cylinders must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright position. LPG cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
- Never store or transport the LPG cylinder where temperatures can reach 51° C (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LPG cylinder in a car on a hot day.
- Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to the LPG cylinder each time a reconnection occurs. For example: test each time the LPG cylinder is refilled and reinstalled.
- LPG cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
- Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The valves and orifices are designed exclusively for liquid propane gas.
- The areas around the LPG cylinder must be free and clear from debris.
- The LPG cylinder should not be changed in the proximity of an ignition source.
STORAGE
For grills that have been stored for a while, it is important to follow these
guidelines:
- The gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder when the Weber ® gas grill is not in use. m WARNING: Make sure that the LPG cylinder valve is closed when the grill is not in use.
- If storing the Weber ® gas grill indoors, first DISCONNECT the gas supply and store the LPG cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
- Do not store a disconnected LPG cylinder in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
- If you do not disconnect the LPG cylinder from the Weber ® gas grill, be sure to keep both the grill and the cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
- Check that the areas under the control panel and the slide-out grease tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

REPLACEMENT HOSE, REGULATOR AND VALVE ASSEMBLY**
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
We recommend that you replace the gas hose
assembly on your Weber ® gas grill 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.

LPG CYLINDER INSTALLATION INSIDE CABINET
WHERE DOES THE LPG CYLINDER GO?
The type and size of cylinder you purchase will determine if the cylinder can
be located inside or outside the base cabinet. There are two location options:
inside the cabinet within the cylinder brackets, or outside the cabinet on the
ground.
INSIDE CABINET REQUIREMENTS
The LPG cylinder can be placed inside the grill cabinet if the cylinder does
not exceed the maximum size requirements. The maximum size requirements for
cylinders installed inside the cabinet are:
Cylinder Capacity: 6 kg maximum
Cylinder Height: 465 mm maximum
Cylinder Width: 289 mm maximum (rectangular footprint) or 318 mm
maximum (round footprint)

maintain pressure. Slide collar down to close (9) (12). If regulator does not
lock, repeat procedure.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
The fuel system in your grill features connections and fittings. A leak check
is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the
connections or fittings. Although all factory-made connections have been
thoroughly hocked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check
before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect
and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.
PARTIAL DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR GRILL FOR A LEAK CHECK
In order to perform the leak check, you need to have access to the gas valves,
which will require some simple grill disassembly. Confirm that Grill is Off
A) Turn gas supply off at source.
B) Check that ALL burner control knobs are in the off
(0) position (1). Control knobs are shipped in the off
(0) position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check
by pushing control knobs in and turning them clockwise. If they do not turn,
they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they
stop; then they are off. If your grill has a side burner, make sure the side
burner control knob is turned off.
Remove Control Panel
You will need: A Phillips screwdriver.
A) Disconnect the wires from the igniter button located on the underside of
the control panel (2). NOTE: Pull from terminals at ends of wires.
B) Remove control knobs (3).
C) Remove the screws from the front of the control panel with a Phillips
screwdriver (4).
D) Carefully lift control panel up and then pull forward away from frame (5).
Your grill is now ready for a leak check. Proceed to “CHECKING FOR GAS
LEAKS.”
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks
or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames
will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
WARNING: The gas connections of your gas grill have been factory-tested.
We do, however, recommend that you leak-check all gas connections before
operating your gas grill.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill was dealer- or
store assembled.
WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting.
NOTE: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks
and the burners have been flam tested. As a safety precaution, however, you
should check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber ® gas grill.
Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soaped-water solution.
(You can make your own soap-and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with
80% water; or, you can purchase solution in the plumbing section of any
hardware store.)
A) Turn gas supply on at source.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak-checking
Identify your regulator type. Follow the instructions for that regulator.
Turn Valve
Turn cylinder valve anti-clockwise (1) (2) (3).
Move Lever
Move regulator lever to the on position (4) (5) (6).
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS (continued)
B) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap-and water solution,, using a
spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a
leak. Apply the soap-and-water solution, to the following connections:
a) Regulator hose-to-bulkhead connection (1).
b) Corrugated manifold hose-to-bulkhead connection (2).
c) Corrugated manifold hose-to-manifold connection (3).
For Spirit® grills with side burners (320 models):
d) Side burner hose-to-manifold connection (4).
e) Side burner hose-to-valve connection (5).
WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5), turn off the
gas, tighten the fitting with a spanner, and recheck for leaks with soap-and
water solution. If a leak persists after tightening the fitting, turn off the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in
your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto
www.weber.com.
f) Regulator-to-cylinder connection (6).
g) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (7).

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
TIPS & HINTS
- Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on high heat and close lid; preheat for 10 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500° – 550°F (260° – 290°C).
- The temperature of your gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first few uses.
- Recipe grilling times are based on outside temperatures of 70°F (20°C) and little or no wind. Allow for more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow for less cooking time in extremely hot weather.
- Grilling conditions may require adjustment of the burner controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.
- Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.
- Crowding food onto a cooking grate means more time will be required to cook the food.
- Trim excess fat from steaks, chops, and roasts, leaving no more than a scant ¼ inch (6.4 mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against unwanted flare-ups.
- In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than small pieces of meat.
- Some foods, such as a casserole or thin fish fillets, will require a container for grilling. Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles can also be used.
- Foods in containers, such as baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole than in a shallow baking pan.
- Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require turning or moving to a less hot area.
- Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing natural juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole fish.
- Always be sure the slide-out grease tray and catch pan are clean and free from debris.
- Do not line the slide-out grease tray with foil. This could prevent the grease from flowing into the catch pan.
- If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn all burners off and move food to another area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.
- Using a timer will help to alert you when “well done” is about to become “overdone.”
PREHEATING
Preheating the grill before grilling is important. To preheat: Light your
grill according to the instructions in the Owner’s Guide; then turn all
burners to start/high ( ) position, close the lid, and preheat until the
temperature reaches between 500° and 550°F (260° and 290°C), the recommended
broiling temperature. This will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions
such as air temperature and wind. After preheating, you can adjust the
individual burners as desired.
WARNING: Should the burners go out while grill is in operation, turn all
gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to
relight grill, using the igniting instructions.
COVERED COOKING
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated
heat. With the lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection oven.
The thermometer in the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill.
All preheating and grilling is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is
lost every time you lift the lid.
FLAVORIZER® SYSTEM
The closed lid and Flavorizer® bars produce that “outdoor” flavor in the food.
When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer ®
bars, they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible grilled flavor.
Thanks to the unique design of the burners, the Flavorizer ® bars, and the
flexible temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually
eliminated, because YOU control the flames.
DRIPPINGS AND GREASE
Because of the special design of the Flavorizer ® bars and burners, excess
fats are directed down the slide-out grease tray and into the catch pan.
Disposable drip pans that fit the catch pan are available.
SAFETY CHECKS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL
SAFETY FIRST
It’s a good idea to get in the habit of performing a few safety checks before
grilling.
Safety must be considered when you are deciding where to place and operate
your grill. Be sure to read the following warnings before installing or using
your grill.
WARNINGS:
This appliance is intended for outdoor use only and should never be used in
garages and roofed or enclosed porches or verandas.
Your Weber® gas grill must never be used under an unprotected combustible roof
or overhang.
Your Weber® gas grill is not intended to be installed in or on caravans and/or
boats.
Flammable materials should not be present within approximately 60 cm of the
grill. This includes the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.
Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapours and liquids such as petrol,
alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.
Keep ventilation openings for cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
This appliance gets very hot. Take special care when children or elderly
people are present.
Do not move the appliance when it is alight.
When you are getting ready to grill, your first thought should always be
safety. Set out below are a few safety checks that you should perform each
time you grill.
SLIDE-OUT GREASE TRAY
Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which funnels grease
away from food and into removable containers.
Check the slide-out grease tray for grease build-up each time you use your
grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper ( 1 ). Wash the grease
tray with a soap-and water solution and rinse with water.
CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out grease tray with aluminium foil.
CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN
Grease from the slide-out grease tray funnels into a catch pan. Cleaning the
catch pan is just as important as cleaning the slide-out grease tray.
Check the catch pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove
excess grease with a plastic scraper ( 2 ). Wash the catch pan with warm,
soapy water and rinse with water. To keep the catch pan cleaner longer, you
can line it with a Weber ® disposable drip pan or with aluminium foil.
WARNING: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan for grease build-up
each time before using. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire. A grease
fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of cracking (3).
WARNING: Check hose each time before using grill for nicks, cracking,
abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use
the grill.
Replace using only Weber ® authorised replacement hose. Contact the Customer
Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web
site. Log onto www.weber.com.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
KEEPING YOUR WEBER ® GAS GRILL IN TIP-TOP SHAPE
DANGER
Failure to correct any problems described on this page may result in a fire,
which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.
To keep your Weber ® gas grill performing as safely and efficiently as on day
one, we strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the spider/insect
screen(s) and burner tube(s) at least once a year. Below is important
information about these two areas of the grill that should undergo annual
maintenance.
If you observe an incorrect flame pattern or blocked burner port, proceed to
the “BURNER TUBE CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT” instructions on the following
page.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner tube(s) in your Weber® gas grill was/were factory set for the
correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in
illustration and described below:
- Burner tube(s) (1)
- Tips occasionally flicker yellow (2)
- Light blue (3)
- Dark blue (4)
Check burner flame pattern. If the flames do not match the above description,
it could be an indication that the spider/insect screen(s) has/have become
dirty or blocked.
WEBER® SPIDER/INSECT SCREEN(S)
The combustion air opening(s) of the burner tube(s) (5) is/are fitted with
stainless steel screen (5) to help prevent spiders and other insects from
spinning webs and building nests inside the venturi section (6) of the
burner tube(s). These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow, and can cause
gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening(s) (7). 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(s), causing serious damage to your grill (8).
NOTE: If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned,
please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the
contact information on our web site. Log onto
www.weber.com.
BURNER TUBE PORTS
Over time, from repeated use of the grill, the burner tube ports will become
dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow. Following are ways
to determine whether burner tube ports are dirty or blocked.
- Grill does not reach desired temperature
- Grill heats unevenly
- One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
BEAUTIFUL— INSIDE AND OUT
Weber ® grill owners take a lot of pride in their grills. Flaunt your pride
and joy. Keep your grill clean and beautiful— inside and out—by following
these routine maintenance steps.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL
To keep the outside of your grill looking its best, use the following
guidelines for safe cleaning.
WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas grill off and wait for it to cool before
cleaning it.
Painted, Enamelled and Plastic Surfaces
Use a warm, soapy water solution to clean outside surfaces; then rinse with
water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or
xylene. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleaning agents (kitchen cleaning
agents), cleaners that contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
grill or cart surfaces.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Your grill or its cabinet, lid, and control panel may be made of stainless
steel. Wash outside surfaces with a soft cloth and a soap-and-water solution,
rinse with water, and wipe dry.
For stubborn particles, a non-metallic brush can be used.
Scrub stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain.
IMPORTANT: Rinse surfaces well after cleaning. Do not use a wire brush or
abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will
cause scratches. When cleaning stainless steel, be sure to rub/wipe in the
direction of the grain.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
To keep your grill performing safely and efficiently, it is important to
remove any debris and excess grease that may have accumulated on the inside of
the grill. Use the following guidelines for safe cleaning.
Inside Lid
Flaking, built-up grease resembles paint flakes. Wipe inside lid with paper
towel to prevent grease build-up. Wash inside lid with warm, soapy water; then
rinse with water.
Cook box
Wash inside cook box with warm, soapy water; then rinse with water.
Cook box Components
You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, stiff plastic scraper.
A) Scrape and brush the cooking grates with the scraper and brush. Remove the
cooking grates and set aside.
B) Scrape and brush the Flavorizer ® bars with the scraper and brush. As
needed, wash them with warm, soapy water; then rinse with water. Remove
Flavorizer ® bars and set aside.
CAUTION: Do not clean Flavorizer ® bars or cooking grates in a self-
cleaning oven.
C) Brush any debris off burner tubes and Crossover® tube. Do not enlarge
burner ports (openings) running along length of burner and Crossover ® tubes
(1).
NOTE: When cleaning burner tube 1, avoid damaging the igniter electrode
by carefully brushing around it.
D) When cleaning is complete, replace the Flavorizer ® bars and cooking
grates.
Slide-Out Grease Tray
Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which funnels grease
away from food and into removable containers.
Check the slide-out grease tray for grease build-up each time you use your
grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the grease
tray with a soap-and water solution and rinse with water.
CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out grease tray with aluminium foil. Catch Pan
and Disposable Drip Pan Grease from the slide-out grease tray funnels into a
catch pan. Cleaning the catch pan is just as important as cleaning the slide-
out grease tray. Check the catch pan for grease build-up each time you use
your grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (3). Wash the catch
pan with warm, soapy water and rinse with water. To keep the catch pan cleaner
longer, you can line the catch pan with a Weber ® disposable drip pan or with
aluminium foil.
WARNING: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan for grease build-up
each time before using. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire. A grease
fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of cracking (4).
WARNING: Check hose each time before using grill for nicks, cracking,
abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use
the grill. Replace using only Weber ® authorised replacement hose. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on
our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.
To obtain replacement disposable drip pans, cooking grates and Flavorizer ®
bars, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING THE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER ® IGNITION SYSTEM
The igniter module supplies power to the electronic Crossover ® ignition
system and the side burner with one igniter button. Whether you are performing
routine maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the ignition system, read
the following to keep your ignition system working properly.
If the electronic Crossover ® ignition system fails to ignite, you’ll need to
pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas flow or with the
electronic ignition system. Begin by attempting to match-light your burners.
Refer to “MAIN BURNER IGNITION – Lighting with a Match.” If match-lighting is
successful, the problem lies in the ignition system.
- Verify that the AA battery (alkaline only) is in good condition and is installed correctly (1). Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. This plastic must be removed before installing battery. Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.
- Make sure the igniter wires are properly attached to the igniter module. Refer to the “IGNITER MODULE WIRE GUIDE” chart on this page.
- Make sure the ceramic igniter assembly is fully inserted into burner tube igniter channel (2). If properly positioned, you will hear a snap (3).
- Make sure the electronic igniter button is working by listening for clicking and looking for sparks at burner. If the electronic Crossover ® ignition system still fails to ignite, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.
