E Automatic Lid Lock
Keeping the lid closed and the cooking grates in place occurs automatically when the barbecue is lowered to the down position.

Raising and Lowering the Barbecue
When it’s time to set up or put away the barbecue, follow these steps to ensure the barbecue is ready.
When raising and lowering the barbecue, always be sure to stabilise the barbecue by keeping a foot placed on the foot stand (A), and grasping the barbecue from the END of the side table frame (B). It is not recommended to grasp the barbecue from the sides or corners of the frame.

Raising the Barbecue

1. Move the cart lock to the unlocked position and disengage it from the pin.
2. Keep one foot on the foot stand and lift the barbecue from the end of the side table frame until it clicks into the raised position. Do not grip the cart release lever while raising the barbecue.

Lowering the Barbecue

1. Make sure the burner control knob is in the off ( ) position.
2. Close the lid.
3. Allow the barbecue to cool completely.
4. Remove the LP cartridge by first turning off the regulator valve, then rotate the LP cartridge anticlockwise to disconnect it from the regulator. Refer to “Disconnecting the LP Cartridge.”
5. Always check the slide-out catch pan to clean or replace the disposable drip tray.
6. To lower the cart, make sure to keep one foot on the foot stand at the base of the barbecue and grasp the end of the side table frame (a).

Carefully disengage the release lever beneath the side table by:

1. pulling the lever toward you, and
2. lifting it up toward the end-rail. Then, slowly lower the barbecue keeping your foot in place. Important: Use caution when lowering the cart. Always guide the cart while moving to the down position by maintaining a steady grip on the frame. Repeated lowering of the cart without maintaining a grip on the frame may cause damage to the gas spring.

GETTING STARTED

Important Information about LP Gas & Gas Connections
What Is LP Gas?
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 Disposable Cartridges
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your gas barbecue.

• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty cartridge.
• Although the cartridge may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the cartridge should be transported and stored accordingly.
• Cartridges should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the cartridge where temperatures can reach 51° C (the cartridge will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the cartridge in a car on a hot day.
• Cartridges must be kept out of reach of children.
• Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to the cartridge each time a reconnection occurs. For example: test each time the cartridge is reinstalled.
• Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to the cartridge each time a reconnection occurs. For example: test each time the cartridge is reinstalled.
• The areas around the cartridge must be free and clear from debris.
• The cartridge should not be changed in the proximity of an ignition source.
• Always close the regulator gas control valve before disconnecting regulator.

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 LPG cylinder.

Regulator Connections

• In Great Britain, this barbecue must be fitted with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a nominal output of 37 millibars.
• The length of the hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Change the flexible hose when national regulations stipulate this as a requirement.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.

Installing the Cartridge
Use only butane/propane disposable cartridges with a minimum capacity of 430g and a maximum capacity of 460g. The cartridge must have an EN417 valve as illustrated (A).
Check that seals (between the appliance and the gas container) are in place and in good condition before connecting to the gas container.

1. Raise the barbecue.
2. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.
3. Make sure the regulator gas control valve is turned off by turning clockwise until tight.
4. Push cartridge into regulator and turn clockwise until tight (B).

Removing the Cartridge
Every time you need to lower the barbecue cart, or if the cartridge is empty and 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. Make sure the regulator gas control valve is turned off by turning clockwise until tight.
3. Unscrew the cartridge from the regulator by turning it anticlockwise 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.

   • Do not store a disconnected cartridge in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

   • Do not store or transport a disconnected 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.”)

CAUTION: Only use WEBER Q Gas or other EN 417 cartridges marked 80% Butane/20% Propane.
WARNING: Hand tighten only. Using excessive force could damage the regulator coupling and cartridge valve. This could cause a leak or prevent gas flow.

• Check the seals before connecting a new gas container to the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.
• Gas containers shall be changed in a well ventilated location, preferably outside, away from any sources of ignition, such as naked flames, pilots, electric fires and away from other people.

What is a Leak Check?
Once the 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 tank. 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 regulator hose.
• Where the regulator hose connects to the valve.

Checking for Gas Leaks

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

2. Turn gas supply on by turning the regulator gas control valve anticlockwise (B).

3. Wet fittings (C) 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.

4. If bubbles appear there is a leak:

   • If the leak is at the cartridge (D), remove the cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Install a different cartridge and recheck for leaks with a soap and water solution. If the leak persists, remove the 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 (E) or burner valve (F), turn off the gas. 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.

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

   • 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.

Burner Valve Orifice Sizes & Consumption Data

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.

• Leaking gas may cause a fire or explosion.
• Do not operate the barbecue if there is a gas leak present.
• If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the liquid propane tank:
  1. Move away from liquid propane tank.
  2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
  3. Call your fire brigade.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your 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.

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 channelled down to the slide-out catch pan and into a disposable drip tray that lines the 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 by pulling it forward (A).
3. Check for excessive amounts of grease in the disposable drip tray that lines the slide-out catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a new one.
4. Reinstall all components.

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

1. Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.
2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or cuts (B). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue.

Preheat the Barbecue
Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly. It also burns off any residue from the previous 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 all burners on the start/high position for 10 to 15 minutes or until the thermometer shows 260°C (500°F) (C).

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

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

DANGER: Do not line the slide-out catch pan or cookbox with aluminium foil.

• 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 catch pan and disposing of hot grease.

• Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves (conforming to EN 407, Contact Heat rating level 2 or greater) when operating barbecue.

• 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 bristle barbecue brush at the beginning of every spring.

• If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only WEBER authorised replacement hose.

• Keep ventilation openings around tank 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. Turn gas supply on by turning the regulator gas control valve anticlockwise (C).
4. Push the burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high position (D).
5. Push the red igniter button several times, so it clicks each time (E).
6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates. 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.

Should the burner fail to ignite using the ignition system, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section. There you will find instructions on igniting the barbecue with a match to help determine the exact problem.

To Extinguish Burners

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

WARNING: Open lid during ignition.

• Do not lean over open barbecue while igniting or cooking.
• 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 grates 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 vapours slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your barbecue’s lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and look 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.

1. Brush the carbonised grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (A). To minimise 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 Grates
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates as recommended, the debris on your grates should be minimal.

1. With grates installed, brush the debris off your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush (B).
2. Take the grates 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).
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 it.

• When cleaning the burners, never use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates. 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.

• 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 slide-out 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- TO-MEAL MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning the Outside of the Barbecue
The outside of your barbecue may include stainless steel, porcelain-enamelled, 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 microfibre 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 colour of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.

Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enamelled Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enamelled 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
SYMPTOM

• Burner does not ignite when following the ignition instructions in the “Operation” section of this Owner’s Manual.

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 cylinder is properly installed. Refer to “Installing the LP Cylinder.”
4. Strike a match and put the flame under the matchlight hole(A).While holding lit match, push burner control knob in and turn it anticlockwise to start/high ( ) position. ****
5. Push the burner control knob in and turn it anticlockwise to the start/high position.
6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates.
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 Electronic 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.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

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.

SYMPTOM

• Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy.

SYMPTOM

• The smell of gas and/or a light hissing sound.

GREASY BARBECUE (Peeling Paint & Flare-Ups)
SYMPTOM

• Inside of lid appears to have the appearance of peeling paint.

SYMPTOM

•  Experiencing flare-ups when barbecuing or preheating.

Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burner in your barbecue is factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burner is performing correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern. The tips may occasionally flicker yellow (A), with a descending light blue (B) to dark blue flame (C).

WARNING: Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow, resulting in a fire (D) in and around the gas valves, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners (E) are fitted with stainless steel screens to prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the burners. Dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the burners.

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.

• 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 grates aren’t hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome barbecue marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low 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 grate heat up for about ten minutes or until the lid thermometer reads 260°C (500°F) .

Don’t barbecue on dirty grates.
Placing 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 that you are barbecuing on a clean cooking grate. Once the grates are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle barbecue brush to make a clean, smooth surface.

Be present in the process.
Before firing up your barbecue, 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 it 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 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 grates are hotter, the barbecuing times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the flare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on your barbecue!

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, you should turn food just once. If you are moving it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too often 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-barbecued appetisers, side dishes, 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.
