• Important Information about
  Natural Gas & Gas Connections
  What is Natural Gas?
  Natural gas (NG) is a combustible, gaseous mixture
  of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock.
  It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane. Natural gas is delivered by your local utility through an underground pipeline system.
  General Specifications
  Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas grill installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

• • This grill is designed to operate at 4.0″ of water column pressure (0.144365 psi).
  • The quick-disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally or pointing downward, but never pointing upward. Installing it with the open end pointing upward can result in water and debris collecting in the quick-disconnect fitting.
  • The dust covers (plastic plugs supplied with your grill) help keep the open ends of the quick-disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.
  • A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, and be accessible.
  • An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.
  • Pipe compound that is resistant to the action of natural gas should be used when connections are made.
  • The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction.
  Gas Line Piping
  • If the length of the line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5⁄8″ O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.
  • Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062″; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.
  • Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.
  • Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.
  • Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.
  • Underground piping must have a minimum of 18″ cover.

Hose Requirements

• • The grill is equipped with a model specific hose that was attached during the manufacturing process. This specific hose must be used for proper performance.
  • If the hose becomes worn or damaged, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
  Pressure Testing the Gas Supply
  • Disconnect the gas grill when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
  • Turn off the gas grill when the gas supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
  1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
  Hose Connection
  Connect the Hose to the Gas Supply
  A quick-disconnect fitting connects your grill to the gas supply. Gas will not flow unless the quick-disconnect is properly engaged.

  1. 1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise (A).

2. Starting from inside the cabinet, route the flexible gas hose out of the opening in the rear panel (B).
3. Slide the collar of the quick-disconnect back (C).
4. Push male fitting of the hose into the quick-disconnect and maintain pressure. Slide the collar closed (D). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Proceed to ”CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS”.

Typical NG Grill Pipe Installation

• m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray or
  cookbox with aluminum foil.
  m DANGER: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.

• m WARNING: Use caution when removing catch pan
  and disposing of hot grease.
  m WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or
  gloves when operating grill.
  m WARNING: Grill 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 bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.

• m WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around tank
  clear and free of debris.
  m WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply cord away from heated surfaces.

• Leak Checking
  What is a Leak Check?
  Once the hose is properly connected, 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 hose to the gas supply. The fuel system in your grill 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 annually. The following fittings should be tested:

• • Where the gas hose connects to the gas supply.
  • Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
  • Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1. 1. Wet fittings (A) 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.

2. Turn the gas supply valve on.
3. If bubbles appear there is a leak:
   a) If the leak is at the gas supply (B). Turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
   b) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
   illustration (C), re-tighten fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If leak persists, turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
   c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
   illustration (D), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
   If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.

2. 4. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete. Turn gas supply valve off and 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.

Disconnect the Hose from the Gas Supply

1. 1. Slide the collar back and pull out the plug. This automatically shuts off the gas.

• 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.
  m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
  explosion.
  m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a gas
  leak present.
  m WARNING: If young children are in the area, a
  locking valve should be considered

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

1. 1. Confirm that the grill is off and cool.

2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or cuts (A). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill.

WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged in
any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only
WEBER authorized replacement hose.

Igniting the Main Burners
Using the One-Handed Ignition to
Ignite the Main Burners
Each control knob operates an individual burner, and each burner ignites independently. Ignite the main burners starting from left to right. All burners should be lit for preheating, however, all burners do not have to be lit while grilling.

1. 1. Open the grill lid (A).

2. Check that all burner control knobs (including side burner control knob) are in the off  position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.
3. Turn the gas supply valve on (B).
4. Begin with the burner furthest to the left.
   Push the burner control knob in and slowly turn it counterclockwise toward the ignite position until you hear ticking (C). Once ticking starts, hold the knob in that position for 1-2 seconds and then slowly continue turning counterclockwise. The burner should ignite before the high position (D).
5. Check that the burner is lit by looking through
   the cooking grates and through the cutout in the FLAVORIZER bar.
6. 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.
7. If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 5 to ignite the remaining main burners.

Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
There you will find instructions on igniting the grill with a match to help determine the exact problem.
Preheat the Grill
Preheating the grill is critical to successful grilling. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. It also burns off residue of a previously cooked meal.

1. 1. Open the grill lid.

2. Ignite your grill according to the ignition instructions in this Owner’s Manual.
3. Close lid.
4. Preheat the grill with all burners on the high position for 15 minutes (D).

To Extinguish Main Burners

1. 1. Push each burner control knob in and then turn  clockwise all the way to the off position.

2. Turn gas supply valve off.

   • m WARNING: Open lid during ignition.
     m WARNING: Do not lean over open grill while
     igniting or cooking.
     m WARNING: Each burner must be ignited individually by pushing the electronic ignition button.  seconds of attempting to light the first burner, turn the burner control knob to the off position. Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.

Using the Top-Down Infrared Broiler
Top-down infrared broiler directs blazing high heat onto the top of meat, searing the surface evenly and creating an edgetoedge caramelized crust with juicy insides. As the heat comes from above, grease flows downward, minimizing flare ups. The broiler is thoughtfully sized to fit two New York strip or four filet mignon steaks perfectly, and the cooking grate below it adjusts to accommodate larger cuts of meat, casseroles, , and more.

1. 1. Open the lid. Using heat-resistant barbecue gloves, adjust the level of the upper cooking surface to one of the three positions (A).

2. Push in the infrared broiler control knob. Slowly turn it counterclockwise toward the ignite position until you hear ticking. Once ticking starts, hold
   the knob in that position for 1-2 seconds. Continue turning knob counterclockwise, stopping halfway between the ignite and high heat position (B). Hold down the knob in this position for 20 – 30 seconds as the burner ignites and establishes a continuous flow of gas across the surface of the infrared broiler. Once the infrared broiler is glowing orange, then it is ignited. Now turn the control knob to desired heat level and release the knob.
3. Keep the lid open while using the infrared broiler in the high heat setting for searing (C). Use the infrared broiler on the low heat setting for rotisserie/keep warm.

Note: Always keep the lid OPEN while using the infrared broiler on the high heat setting, and turn food frequently for even searing.
To Extinguish Infrared Broiler

1. 1. Push the control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off 
2. position.

Operating the Rotisserie
Preparing the Grill
Prepare grill for rotisserie cooking by removing
the warming rack and removing cooking grates. RECOMMENDATION: Place a fresh foil pan (sold separately) directly under food on top of the FLAVORIZER BARS (A).
NOTE: Set up the rotisserie with food before igniting the infrared broiler.

1. 1. Confirm the rotisserie motor bracket is secured to the side of the cookbox (B). Slide rotisserie motor onto the bracket (C). Plug power cord into power source.

2. To prepare the rotisserie for food, slide one spit fork into the rotisserie shaft (D). Push the rotisserie shaft through the center of the food. Slide the second spit fork into the shaft and insert the tines of both spit forks into the food. The food should be centered on the shaft. Securely tighten both spit fork screws.
3. Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Lower the rotisserie spit into the grooves on the cookbox (E).
4. Set infrared broiler on the low heat setting.
5. Switch on the motor and close the lid.

Cooking Tips

• • Before cooking, make sure that the food is centered and able to rotate. If food is too heavy or irregular in shape,
  it may not rotate well and should not be cooked using
  the rotisserie. In such cases, use the indirect method of cooking on the grill.
  • Truss meat or poultry with string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the spit. Use and Care
  • Unplug the motor from outlet when not in use, or before cleaning.
  • Use a soft cloth to clean the rotisserie motor. Do not use any chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Do not submerge motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
  • Hand wash spit and forks using mild dish detergent and then dry using soft cloth.
  • When not in use, unplug the motor from outlet, remove from the grill and store in a dry place out of the reach of children.

Rotisserie Fork Storage

HIGH PERFORMANCE GRILLING

The high performance grilling system sets the standard in the world of gas grilling, and lands Weber in a class of its own. This powerful grilling system is based on over 65 years of grilling experience, culinary expertise, and most importantly, the wants and needs of the people who matter most – our grilling community. Each component was uniquely designed for ease-of-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard grilling experience.

1. One-Handed Ignition
   One-handed ignition lets you light burners with a simple press and turn, similar to a premium gas range. Rapid clicking sound indicates gas is flowing and ignition is sparking.

2. 2 PUREBLU Burners
   The unique, tapered shape delivers a consistent gas flow from front to back. This provides ultimate heat distribution, ensuring that food grills evenly and consistently anywhere on the cooking grates.

3. 3 FLAVORIZER BARS
   Stainless Steel FLAVORIZER BARS are angled just right to catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding that irresistible smoky flavor that we all know and love to your food.

4. 4 Grease Management System
   Drippings that are not vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away from the burners into the disposable drip tray, located within the removable catch pan under the cookbox. Simply remove the catch pan and replace the drip tray as needed.

Grilling at Night

This feature is only available on select models.
Using the NIGHTVISION Lighting
To activate the NIGHTVISION lighting, press the awake button. The grill light has a tilt sensor that will turn on the light if the grill lid is opened and turn off the light when the grill lid is closed. If the lid is left open or closed for more than 30 minutes, the grill light will automatically deactivate. To turn the light back on, press the awake button.
Using the Lighted Control Knobs
The burner control knobs light up with the push of a button. To turn on or off, simply push the power button located on the right side of the control panel.

The Flame – Direct or Indirect

• DIRECT HEAT SETUP
  Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, such as: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and sliced vegetables.
  With direct heat, the fire is right below the food. It sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking the food all the way to the center.

• INDIRECT HEAT SETUP
  Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would
  dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish fillets, whole chickens, turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned first over direct heat.
  With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill, or off to one side of the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grate.

Grilling Do’s and Don’ts

• Preheat each and every time.
  If the cooking grates aren’t hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome grill marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always preheat the grill on the highest setting first. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grate heat up for 15 minutes on high.
  Don’t grill on dirty grates.
  Tossing food onto the cooking grates before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stuff” on the grates acts like glue, binding it to the grates and your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure you are grilling on a clean cooking grate. Once the grates 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 grilling 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 grates restricts your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grates clear, with plenty of space between each food item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes grilling 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 grill 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 grates are hotter, the grilling 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 caramelized 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 color and flavor. In nearly all cases, 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 grill.
  Know when to tame the flame.
  When grilling, 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, grilling 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 grill to make char-grilled appetizers, sides, and even desserts. Register your grill to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We’d love to join you on your grilling adventures.

Real Smoke Flavor

• Using the Smoker Box
  The smoker box can be used with wood chips. WEBER brand wood chips are and available in several varieties to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.

  1. 1. Place wood chips in the smoker box (A). Close the lid.

2. Place the smoker box on top of the main cooking grate aligned over one of the burners (B).
3. Ignite the grill and preheat for 15 minutes with the main burners on high. Refer to “Igniting the Main Burners”.
4. Once the smoker box begins emitting smoke, adjust burners to desired setting.
5. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.

Notes:

• Always use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating your grill.
  Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.
  When you’re finished smoking, turn burners off
  and close the grill lid until the wood chips have extinguished.
  In the case of wood chips catching fire, using grill tongs push smoker box to back of grill and keep grill lid closed until the fire has extinguished.
  In windy conditions, keep the burner under the smoker box on Medium or higher flame to prevent the wood chips from extinguishing during a cook.
  The form of the stainless steel smoker box may change slightly under high heat but will return to shape once it has cooled.
  Remove smoker box from the grill if not in use.
  Always follow the grill owner’s manual for specific setup and usage instructions.
  Cleaning the Smoker Box
  Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.
  Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree, a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.

• m DANGER: Do not use any flammable fluid or combustible products in the smoker to ignite the wood chips. This will cause serious bodily injury.

• m WARNING: Do not remove hot components from
  the grill while in use.
  m WARNING: Never use wood that has been treated
  or exposed to chemicals.
  m Always avoid soft, resinous woods like pine, cedar, and aspen.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cleaning the Inside of the Grill
  Over time, the performance of your grill can diminish if it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your grill is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings.
  Cleaning the Lid and the Upper Cooking Surfaces
  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 non-toxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.
