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
· This appliance shall only be used in an above ground,
need to keep in mind when using universal liquefied

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,
