• In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the side, back and front wall areas shall be and remain open and unrestricted.

IMPORTANT: This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.

Important Information about Propane Gas & Gas Connections **

**

Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, 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 tank, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the tank, the liquid readily vapourises and becomes gas.

Safe Handling Tips for Cartridges And Cylinders
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using propane gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your gas barbecue.

• Do not use a damaged cartridge/cylinder. A dented or rusty cartridge/cylinder or a cartridge/cylinder with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new cartridge/cylinder immediately.

• Handle “empty” cartridges/cylinders with the same care as you handle full cartridges/cylinders. Even when a cartridge/cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cartridge/cylinder.

• Cartridges/cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the cartridge/cylinder where temperatures can reach 51° C (the cartridge/cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the cartridge/cylinder in a car on a hot day.

• Check that seals between the appliance and the gas container are in place and in good condition before connecting the gas container.

• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.

• Do not use this appliance if it is leaking, damaged or does not operate properly.

• Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to the cartridge/cylinder each time a reconnection occurs.
  For example: test each time the cartridge/cylinder is reinstalled.

• Store cartridges/cylinders outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. Any indoor storage must comply with AS/NZS 1596.

• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The valves and orifices are designed exclusively for liquefied  petroleum gas

• The areas around the cartridge/cylinder must be free and clear from debris.

• The cartridge/cylinder should be changed in a wellventilated location, preferably outside away from people and any sources of ignition, such as naked flames, pilot flames, electric heaters/equipment.

• To check for gas in the cylinder, liquid fuel may be heard or detected when the container is gently shaken.

Additional Tip for Cartridges

• Always turn off the burner control knob before disconnecting gas cartridge from the regulator.

Additional Tips for Cylinders

• Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting the cylinder from the adapter hose.
• Cylinders must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright position.
• Routinely check the cylinder to ensure the test date has not expired. Do not use a cylinder which has an expired test date.

What is a Regulator?
Your gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the gas cylinder.

Regulator Connections

• Requirements for Both Cartridges and Cylinders
  • Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be altered by the user.
  • Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
• Additional Requirements for Cylinders
  • Avoid kinking the hose.
  • Change the flexible hose when national regulations stipulate this as a requirement.
  • Only a nationally approved low-pressure hose and regulator must be used.
  • Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.

Disposable Propane Cartridge Installation & Leak Checking

Installing the Propane Cartridge
This appliance shall only be used with:

1. a 100% propane fuel, non-refillable gas cylinder complying to US DOT-39 with a CGA600 connection, or;
2. ULPG supplied from a refillable cylinder complying with AS2030.1, using the supplied high pressure gas hose with CGA600 connection.
3. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.
4. Push propane cartridge into regulator and turn clockwise until tight (A). Gas flows from the propane cartridge once it is connected.

With the propane cartridge in place, the release lever of the cart becomes locked, preventing the barbecue from being lowered.

Removing the Propane Cartridge
Every time you need to lower the barbecue cart, or your propane cartridge needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it.

1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.
2. Unscrew propane cartridge from regulator and remove it from the barbecue.

Storage and/or Travel
Disconnect the cartridge if:

1. the cartridge is empty;
2. the barbecue is being transported;
3. the barbecue is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area;
4. the barbecue is not in use.

• Place dust cap on cartridge valve outlet whenever the cartridge is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cartridge valve outlet that is provided with the cartridge. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of gas.
• Do not store a disconnected propane cartridge in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
• Do not store or transport a disconnected propane cartridge inside the barbecue.

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 tube before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)
• Check that the areas 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 screen should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

What is a Leak Check?
Once the propane cartridge 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 cartridge. The fuel system in your barbecue features factory-made 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 every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting. The following fittings should be tested:

• Where the cartridge connects to the regulator.
• Where the regulator connects to the valve.

Checking for Gas Leaks
If there is a leak from your appliance (smell of gas) and you cannot stop the gas flow, remove the appliance to a well-ventilated location away from any ignition source. Check for leaks using soapy water. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame.

1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off (O) position.

2. Wet fittings (B) with a soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.

3. If bubbles appear there is a leak:

   • If the leak is at the cartridge (C), remove the propane cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE THE Barbecue. Install a different propane cartridge and recheck for leaks with a soap and water solution. If the leak persists, remove the propane cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
   • If the leak is at the regulator (D), remove the propane cartridge. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE REGULATOR. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
     If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

4. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:

5. Rinse connections with water.
   NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

• 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 barbecue if there is a gas leak present.
• DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the propane cartridge:

OPERATION

The Very First Time You Barbecue

• Perform an Initial Burn-Off
  Heat the barbecue on the highest setting, with the lid closed, for at least 20 minutes prior to barbecuing for the first time.

Every Time You Barbecue

Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important, steps that should always be performed prior to barbecuing.

Check for Grease
Your barbecue 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 cookbox and into a disposable drip tray that lines the slide-out catch pan. This system should be cleaned each and every time you barbecue to prevent fires.

1. Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.
2. Remove the slide-out catch pan (A). 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.
3. Reinstall all components.

Preheat the Barbecue
Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grills and gets the grills hot enough to sear properly. It also burns off residue of a previously cooked meal.

1. Open the barbecue lid.
2. Ignite your barbecue according to the ignition instructions in this Owner’s Manual.
3. Close lid.
4. Preheat the barbecue with the burner on the start/high position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer registers 260° C (500° F) (B).

Clean the Cooking Grills
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grills will also prevent your next meal from sticking.

1. Brush the grills with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush immediately after preheating (C).

• DANGER: Do not line the slide-out catch pan or cookbox with aluminum foil.
• DANGER: Check the slide-out catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
• WARNING: Use caution when removing slide-out catch pan and disposing of hot grease.
• WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.
• WARNING: 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 grills or brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle barbecue brush at the beginning of every spring.
• WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around cylinder clear and free of debris.

Igniting the Barbecue

Using the Ignition System to Ignite the Barbecue
The ignition system ignites the burner with a spark from the igniter electrode. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the igniter button. You will hear the igniter ticking. After preheating on high is complete, you may adjust the burner control knob to your desired setting for barbecuing.

1. Open the barbecue lid (A).
2. Check that the burner control knob is in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knob clockwise (B).
3. Confirm that the cartridge/cylinder is properly installed and gas is on. Refer to “Installing the Propane Cartridge/Cylinder Installation.”
4. Push the burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high position (C).
5. Push the red igniter button several times, so it clicks each time (D).
6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grills. You should see a flame.
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.

• WARNING: Open lid during ignition.
• WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue while igniting or cooking.
• WARNING: If ignition does not occur within five seconds, turn the burner control knob to the off position. Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.

PRODUCT CARE

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Inside of the Barbecue
Over time, the performance of your barbecue can diminish if it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grills are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. A thorough cleaning is recommended when the barbecue is going to be folded and stored vertically, or at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings. When your barbecue is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down.

Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice “paint-like” flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and looks very similar to paint. These deposits are nontoxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.

1. Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (A). To minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after barbecuing while the barbecue is still warm (not hot).

Cleaning the Cooking Grills
If you have been cleaning your cooking grills as recommended, the debris on your grills should be minimal.

1. With grills installed, brush the debris off your cooking grills with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (B).
2. Take the grills out and set aside.

Cleaning the Burner
Two areas on the burner that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small openings running along the length of the burner) and the spider/insect screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is essential for safe operation.

• Cleaning the Burner Ports

1. Use a clean stainless steel bristle barbecue brush to clean the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the burner ports (C). Do not brush lengthwise.along the tube, as this will only brush debris from one port to another.
2. When cleaning the burner, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully brushing around it.

• Cleaning the Spider Screens

1. Locate the end of the burner behind the control panel where it meets the valve (D).![Weber-K9010024-Traveler-Portable-Gas-Barbecue- \(41\)](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Weber-K9010024-Traveler-Portable-Gas-Barbecue-41.png)
2. Clean the spider/insect screen on the burner using a soft bristle brush (E).

• WARNING: Turn your barbecue off and wait for it to cool before thoroughly cleaning.
• WARNING: When cleaning the burners, never use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grills. Never put sharp objects into the burner port holes.
• CAUTION: Do not place any barbecue components onto the side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless steel surfaces.
• CAUTION: Do not use any of the following to clean your barbecue: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.

Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause a fire.

1. Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides and bottom of the barbecue into the opening in bottom of the cookbox (F). This opening leads debris into the slide-out catch pan.

Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of a slideout catch pan and a disposable drip tray(G). These components were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time you prepare to barbecue. Instructions on inspecting the grease management system can be found in MEAL- TOMEAL MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning the Outside of the Barbecue
The outside of your barbecue may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER recommends the following methods based on the surface type.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and barbecues. Use a microfiber cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Do not use paper towels.
Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.

Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm soapy water, and paper towels or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the Outside of Barbecues that are in Unique Environments
If your barbecue is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your barbecue with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.

TROUBLESHOOTING

BARBECUE WILL NOT IGNITE

Using a Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to the Burners

1. Open the barbecue lid.
2. Check that the burner control knob is in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.
3. Confirm that the cartridge/cylinder is properly installed and gas is on. Refer to “Installing the Propane Cartridge/Cylinder Installation.”
4. Strike a match and put the flame under the matchlight hole (A).
5. While holding lit match, push the burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high position.
6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grills.
7. If the burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, 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. If repeated attempts fail, follow the gas flow troubleshooting instructions on the next page.
8. If the burner ignites, the problem lies in the ignition system. Follow the instructions for “Checking the Components of the Ignition System.”

Checking the Components of the Ignition System
When pressing the igniter button you should hear it click. Check the wires to ensure the igniter is creating a spark.
Checking the Wires

1. Check that the white and black ignition wires are connected securely to the terminals on the igniter button behind the control panel (B).
2. Verify the igniter button pushes in, clicks, and returns out again.

GAS FLOW

SYMPTOM

• Barbecue does not reach desired temperature or heats unevenly.
• The burner fails to ignite.
• Flame is low when burner is on high position.
• Flames do not run the whole length of the burner.
• Burner flame pattern is erratic.

GREASY BARBECUE (Peeling Paint & Flare-Ups)

• WARNING: Do not attempt to make any repair to gas carrying, gas burning, ignition components or structural components without contacting Weber-Stephen Products LLC, Customer Service Department.
• WARNING: Failure to use genuine Weber-Stephen parts for any repair or replacement will void all warranty protection.
• CAUTION: The burner tube openings must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.

TIPS AND HINTS

Barbecuing Do’s and Don’ts

• Preheat each and every time.
  If the cooking grills aren’t hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome grill marks. When a recipe calls for medium or high heat, always preheat the barbecue on the highest setting first. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grills heat up for about ten minutes or until the lid thermometer reads 260°C (500°F). For low and slow cooking, there is no need to preheat on high. Ensure your cooking grills are clean and preheat as per the instructions in your barbecue’s handbook.

• Don’t barbecue on dirty grills.
  Tossing food onto the cooking grills before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stuff” on the grills acts like glue, binding it to the grills and your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure that you are barbecuing on a clean cooking grill. Once the grills 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 barbecuing 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 grills restricts your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grills clear, with plenty of space between each food item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes barbecuing involves split-second decisions and the ability to jockey food from one area to another. So give yourself enough room to operate.

• Try not to peek.
  The lid on your barbecue is for more than just keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it’s for preventing too much air from getting in, and too much heat and smoke from getting out. When the lid is closed, the cooking grills are hotter, the barbecuing times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the flare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on it!

• Only flip once.
  What’s better than a juicy steak with a deep sear and plenty of beautifully caramelised bits? The key to accomplishing these results is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we have the tendency to flip our food before it reaches the desirable level of colour and flavour. In nearly all cases when using the direct method, you should turn food just once. If fiddling with it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too much, which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the barbecue.

• Know when to tame the flame.
  When barbecuing, sometimes the most important thing to know is when to stop. The most reliable way to test doneness of your food is to invest in an instant-read thermometer. This slim little gem will help you pinpoint that critical moment when your food is at its best.

• Don’t be afraid to experiment.
  Back in the 1950s, barbecuing meant one thing: meat (and only meat) charred over open flames. The modern day backyard chef doesn’t need a kitchen in order to prepare a full course meal. Use your barbecue to make char-grilled entrées, sides, and even desserts. Register your barbecue to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We’d love to join you on your barbecuing adventures.
