GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber Gas Barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that “outdoor” fl avour in the food.
The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your garden or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber Gas Barbecue with you if you move.
Liquid Propane (LP) gas is quicker to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.

• These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your Weber gas barbecue. We therefore request that you read them carefully before you use the Weber gas barbecue.
• Not for use by children.
• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The valves and orifices are designed exclusively for LP gas.
• Not to be used with charcoal briquettes or lava rock.
• Use only a 3kg-13kg LP gas cylinder.
• In the United Kingdom, this appliance must be fitted with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a nominal output of 37 millibars. (Supplied with barbecue.)
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• The length of hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
• Change the flexible hose when national conditions require it.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
• Only a nationally approved low-pressure hose and regulator must be used.
• Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer.

STORAGE

• When the Weber Gas Barbecue is not being used, turn off the gas supply cylinder valve.
• When storing the Weber Gas Barbecue indoors, disconnect the gas supply line. The gas cylinder itself is to be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
• If the gas supply cylinder is not removed from the Weber Gas Barbecue, the entire grill and the gas supply cylinder are to be stored in a well-ventilated place outdoors.
• Gas supply cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children. Disconnected gas supply cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

OPERATING

WARNING: This appliance is intended for outdoor use only and should never be used in garages and roofed or enclosed porches or verandas.

• The Weber Gas Barbecue must never be used under an unprotected combustible roof or overhang.
• The barbecue should not be used when combustible materials are within 60 cm of the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.
• Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on caravans and/or boats.
• When in use, the entire barbecue gets hot. Never leave it unattended.
• Keep any electrical mains lead and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surface.
• Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and liquids, such as petrol, alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.
• Never store an extra (spare) gas supply cylinder near the Weber Gas Barbecue.
• This appliance gets very hot. Take special care when children or elderly people are present
• Do not move the appliance while it is alight.
• Wear protective gloves when using this appliance.

COOKING

WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust BURNER 1, 2, and 3 as desired. The control settings: High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber® cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of BURNER 1, 2, and 3. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set BURNER 1 and BURNER 3 at M (medium). Refer to your Weber® cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
Note: The temperature inside your cooking box for the first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking conditions such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.
Preheating – Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical, low BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (H). Preheating to between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Drippings and grease – The Flavorizer® bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for flavourful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fi t the catch pan.
? WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-up each time before using. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fi re in the slide out bottom tray.

CLEANING
WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas barbecue off and wait for it to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® bars or cooking grates in a self- cleaning oven.
For availability of replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Log onto www.weber.com®.
Outside surfaces – Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse with water.
CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), cleaners that contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces.
Slide out Bottom tray – Remove excess grease, then wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.
Flavorizer® bars and Cooking grates – | Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with water.
Catch pan – Disposable foil trays are available, or you can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.
Thermometer – Wipe with warm soapy water; clean with plastic scrub ball.
Inside cooking module – Brush any debris off burner tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS (OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm soapy water and rinse with water.
Inside Lid – While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up grease resembles paint fl akes.
Stainless steel surfaces – Wash with a soft cloth and a soap-and-water solution. Be careful to scrub with the grain direction of the stainless steel.
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

Preserve Your Stainless Steel
Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves may be made from stainless steel.  To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter. Clean it with soap and  water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. For stubborn particles, the use of a non-metallic brush can be used.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause scratches.

• When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless steel.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are petrol and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at normal temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vapourises and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 51°C (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

LIQUID PROPANE (LP) CYLINDER(S)

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.
• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, insects etc.

REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refi ll the LP cylinder before it is completely empty. To refi ll, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.

Removal of the gas supply cylinder

1. Shut off gas supply.

2. Disconnect hose with regulator from the cylinder.
   A) Unscrew regulator fitting from tank turning clockwise.
   B) Move regulator lever (b) to down/off position. Push in regulator lever (b) until it releases from tank.
   C) Move regulator lever to off position. Slide collar of regulator up (1) to disconnect from tank.

3. Exchange empty cylinder for a full cylinder.

MOUNTING THE CYLINDER
Hold the hanger and tilt the cylinder so the two bent supports of the hanger are located underneath the cylinder base flange. Adjust the length of the belt to the cylinder and snap ends together.
Lift and place the cylinder hanger on the cylinder bracket as shown. (1)

2. Ground wire
3. Burner

WEBER® SPIDER /INSECT SCREENS
Your Weber® gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section (1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to fl ow back out of the combustion air opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2)
to prevent spiders and other insects from accessing the burner tubes through the combustion air openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect Screens at least once a year.
(See Section “Annual Maintenance”.)

Also inspect and clean the Spider/Insect Screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.
2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3. Barbecue heats unevenly.
4. One or more of the burners do not ignite.

DANGER
Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect Screens
To inspect the Spider/Insect Screens, remove the control panel. If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove the burners for cleaning the screens.
Brush the Spider/Insect Screens lightly with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
CAUTION: Do not clean the Spider/Insect Screens with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the Spider/Insect Screens or enlarge the screen openings.
Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the Spider/Insect Screens and burners are clean, replace the burners.
If the Spider/Insect Screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Log onto www.weber.com®.
