IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UNIVERSAL LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS

WHAT IS UNIVERSAL LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS?
Universal liquefied petroleum gas 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, it is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
· Universal liquefied petroleum gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odour.
· Universal liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air. Leaking universal liquefied petroleum gas may collect in low areas and resist dispersion.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LPG CYLINDERS GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

There are various guidelines and safety factors that you

Always close the LPG cylinder valve before disconnecting regulator. Do not use a damaged LPG cylinder. A dented or rusty LPG cylinder or a LPG cylinder with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new LPG cylinder immediately. Handle “empty” LPG cylinders with the same care as you treat full LPG cylinders. Even when a LPG cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the LPG cylinder.

natural convection. 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. This WEBER gas barbecue is not intended for commercial use. This WEBER gas barbecue is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. Use only AGA approved hose assemblies.

· The LPG cylinder 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 (125° F) (the LPG

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 fitting 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.

STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE GUIDELINES

The gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder when the WEBER gas barbecue is not in use.
m WARNING: Make sure that the LPG cylinder valve is closed when the barbecue is not in use. Close by turning valve clockwise.

· Store a disconnected LPG cylinder outdoors in a wellventilated 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 barbecue, be sure to keep both the barbecue and the LPG cylinder outdoors in a wellventilated area.

For barbecues that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:

· The WEBER gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)
· Check that the areas around the LPG cylinder and under the cookbox and the removable catch pan are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
· The spider/insect screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

REPLACEMENT HOSE, REGULATOR AND VALVE ASSEMBLY
m IMPORTANT NOTICE: We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your WEBER 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. Log on to www.weber.com.

LPG CYLINDER INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

FUELING YOUR BARBECUE
Before using your barbecue for the first time, you need to obtain an LPG cylinder. New LPG cylinders can be purchased full; empty LPG cylinders can be refilled or exchanged. You may choose to purchase a spare LPG cylinder so that you don’t run out of fuel in the middle of cooking a meal.
m DANGER NEVER store a spare LPG cylinder under or near WEBER gas appliances. NEVER fill the LPG cylinder beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

Prepare Barbecue for LPG Cylinder Installation
A) Check that BOTH burner control knobs are in the off ( ) position (1). Your barbecue was shipped with burner control knobs in the off ( ) position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off.
Install the LPG Cylinder
A) Install the LPG Cylinder upright on a level surface. Do not place the LPG cylinder on its side.
B) Turn the LPG cylinder so the opening of the valve is facing the front or side of the enclosure (2).
m WARNING: Make sure that the LPG cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
Connect the Regulator / Hose to the LPG Cylinder
B) Connect regulator to cylinder.
Connect by Turning Clockwise Screw regulator onto LPG cylinder by turning fitting clockwise (3). Hand-tighten only.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
m WARNING: No sealant is required on the fitting. Do not use pipe dope, tape or any other sealant on the fitting or LPG cylinder.
REMOVING THE LPG CYLINDER FOR REFILLING OR REPLACEMENT
The amount of cooking time a full LPG cylinder will last varies depending on use. You do not have to run out of fuel before you can refill the LPG cylinder. In fact, we recommend that you refill the LPG cylinder before it is completely empty.
Removal of the LPG Cylinder
A) Close LPG cylinder valve (turn clockwise) (4).
Disconnect by Turning Anti-Clockwise Unscrew regulator from cylinder by turning fitting anticlockwise (5).
B) Remove LPG cylinder from gas supply enclosure.
FILLING THE LPG CYLINDER
m WARNING: We recommend that your LPG cylinder be filled at an authorized gas supplier, by a qualified attendant, who fills the LPG cylinder by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
NOTE: Be certain LPG cylinder is purged of trapped air prior to first filling. Your gas supplier is equipped to do this.

PREHEATING
Preheating the barbecue before barbecuing is important. To preheat: Light your barbecue according to the instructions in this Owner’s Guide; then turn burner(s) to start/high ( ) position, close the lid, and preheat barbecue for 15 minutes. After preheating, you can adjust the burner(s) as desired.
m WARNING: Should the burner(s) go out while barbecue is in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight barbecue, using the igniting instructions.
COVERED COOKING
All barbecuing is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the gas barbecue cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid, a feature on some of our barbecues, indicates the cooking temperature inside the barbecue. All preheating and barbecuing is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.
GREASE COLLECTION SYSTEM
Unique cooking grill design features angled, cast-iron rails that deflect drippings away from the burner tube(s), preventing flare-ups that can char food. The remaining drippings flow into a removable catch pan that slides out for easy cleaning.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

BEAUTIFUL– INSIDE AND OUT
WEBER barbecue owners take a lot of pride in their barbecues. Flaunt your pride and joy. Keep your barbecue clean and beautiful–inside and out–by following these routine maintenance steps.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE BARBECUE
To keep the outside of your barbecue looking its best, use the following guidelines for safe cleaning.
m WARNING: Turn your WEBER gas barbecue off and wait for it to cool before cleaning it.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
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 barbecue as this will cause scratches. When cleaning stainless steel, be sure to rub/ wipe in the direction of the grain.
Painted 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 cleansers (kitchen cleansers), cleaners that contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cabinet surfaces.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE BARBECUE
To keep your barbecue performing safely and efficiently, it is important to remove any debris and excess grease that may have accumulated on the inside of the barbecue. Use the following guidelines for safe cleaning.
Inside Lid
Flaking, built-up grease resembles paint flakes. Wipe inside of lid with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Wash inside lid with warm, soapy water; then rinse with water.

Cookbox Components & Burner Tubes
You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, and a stiff plastic scraper. A) Scrape and brush the cooking grills with the scraper
and brush. Remove the cooking grills and set aside.
m CAUTION: 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 grates or brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new stainless steel barbecue brush at the beginning of every spring.
m CAUTION: Do not clean cooking grills in a self-cleaning oven.
B) Brush any debris off the burner tubes. Do not enlarge burner ports (openings) running along length of burner tube (1).
C) When cleaning is complete, replace the cooking grills.
Cookbox
Wash inside of cookbox with warm, soapy water; then rinse with water.
Removable Catch Pan and Disposable Drip Pan
Your barbecue was built with a grease collection system, which funnels grease away from food and into a removable catch pan. For your convenience, you can also line the removable catch pan with a WEBER disposable drip pan, which will help keep the removable catch pan cleaner longer.
Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important as cleaning the cookbox. Open the catch pan door on the front panel to check the removable catch pan for grease build-up each time you use your barbecue. Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse with water. Discard and replace the disposable drip pan as needed.
m WARNING: Check the removable catch pan or disposable drip pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property.
m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox, removable catch pan or disposable drip pan with aluminium foil.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of cracking (3).
m WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only WEBER authorized 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 and cooking grills, contact the local retailer in your area or log onto www.weber.com. If you need further assistance, contact your Customer Service Representative.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION

The igniter supplies a spark to the igniter electrode assembly. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the ignition system, read the following to keep your ignition system working properly.
m WARNING: All gas controls and supply valves should be in the OFF position.

If the igniter fails to ignite your barbecue, you will need to pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas flow or with the ignition system. Begin by attempting to match light your burner. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION–Lighting with a Match.” If match lighting is successful, the problem lies in the ignition system.

MAINTAINING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

· Verify that the AAA 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 (2). Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.
· Open the catch pan door on the front of the cabinet to view the igniter module inside (3).
· Make sure that both igniter wires are properly attached to the igniter module. Black wire to black terminal (4), white wire to white terminal (5).
· Make sure the electronic igniter button is working by listening for clicking and looking for sparks at burner.
· Close the catch pan door.

If the electronic ignition system still fails to ignite,
