Important Information about
NaturalGas & 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
• This grill is designed to operate at 4.5" of water column
pressure (0.16245 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.
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 shuto 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 o 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 shuto valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2psig (3.5 kPa).

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.
1) Confirm that the grill is o 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.
m WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged in
any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only
WEBER authorized replacement hose.
LeakChecking
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) 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 o 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 o the gas. DONOT OPERATE THE
GRILL.
c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (D), turn o 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.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete.
Turn gas supply valve o and rinse connections
withwater.
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 GasSupply
1) Slide the collar back and pull out the plug.
Thisautomatically shuts o the gas.
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Besure 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.

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 edge-toedge 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, créme
brûlée, and more.
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) Push the control knob in and then turn clockwise all
the way to the o position.
Operation
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.
m WARNING: If ignition does not occur within four
seconds of attempting to light the first burner,
turn the burner control knob to the o position.
Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to
dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.

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) Open the grill lid (A).
2) Check that all burner control knobs (including side
burner control knob) are in the o
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.
Pushthe 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 o
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.

ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Thereyou 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. Italso
burns o residue of a previously cooked meal.
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).

Operation
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 o 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.
1) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid
and upper surfaces with a stainless steel bristle grill
brush (A). To minimize further build-up, the inside of
the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after grilling
while the grill is still warm (nothot).
IMPORTANT: Do not brush the ceramic surface of the infrared
broiler.
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
Cleaned grates will prevent your next meal from sticking. If
you are cleaning your cooking grates regularly, the debris
on your grates will be minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your cooking
grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (B).
2) Take the grates out and set aside.
Cleaning the FLAVORIZERBARS
FLAVORIZER BARS catch drippings that smoke and sizzle,
adding flavor to your food. Any drippings that are not
vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away
from the burners. This helps prevent flare-ups inside of
your grill, and protects the burners from getting clogged.
1) Scrape the FLAVORIZER BARS with a plastic scraper
(C).
2) If necessary, brush the FLAVORIZER BARS with a
stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3) Remove FLAVORIZER BARS and set aside.
Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum
performance are the ports (small raised openings running
along the length of the burners) 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 grill brush to clean
the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of
the burner ports (D).
2) When cleaning the burners, avoid damaging the ignition
electrode by carefully brushing around it.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
1) Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the
control panel where they meet the valves.
2) Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners
using a soft bristle brush (E).
Cleaning the Heat Deflectors
Located under the burners, the heat deflectors distribute
heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking.
Keeping heat deflectors clean will enhance the cooking
performance of your grill.
1) Scrape the heat deflectors with a plastic scraper.
2) If necessary, brush the heat deflectors with a stainless
steel bristle grill brush.
3) Remove heat deflectors and set aside.
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 o the sides and
bottom of the grill into the opening in bottom of the
cookbox. This opening leads debris into the slide-out
grease tray.
Igniting the Side Burner
Using the One-Handed Ignition to
Ignite the Side Burner
If one or more of the main burners on your grill are already
lit and you would like to ignite the side burner, skip to step
3. If none of the main burners are lit and you are only using
the side burner, start with step 1.
1) Check that the side burner control knob is in the
o
position. Check by pushing in and turning knob
clockwise (A). Also check that all main burner control
knobs are in the o
position.
2) Turn the gas supply valve on.
3) Open the side burner lid (B).
4) Pushthe side burner control knob in and slowly turn
it counterclockwise towards 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 at the high position (D).
5) Check that the side burner is lit. The side burner flame
may be dicult to see on a bright sunny day.
6) Once side burner is ignited, continue turning the knob
counterclockwise until you reach the desired position.
7) If the side burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn
side burner control knob to the o
position and wait
five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting
to light the burner again.
Should the side burner fail to ignite using the electronic
ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Thereyou will find instructions on igniting the side burner
with a match to help determine the exact problem.
To Extinguish Side Burner
1) Push side burner control knob in and then turn
clockwise all the way to the o position.
2) Turn gas supply valve o.

Product Care
Cleaning the Grease ManagementSystem
The grease management system consists of an angled
slide-out grease tray and a catch pan. These components
were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and
replaced; an essential step every time you prepare to grill.
Cleaning the Outside of theGrill
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel,
porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER
recommends the following methods based on the
surfacetype.
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 grills. Use a microfiber cloth to clean
in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Donot
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
PlasticComponents
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 Grills that are in Unique
Environments
If your grill 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 grill 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.
Cleaning the Inside of theCabinet
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the interior of the cabinet.
Be careful not to pull any of the wire connections when
cleaning around the electronic components.
Replacing Batteries for the Battery Pack
Use alkaline batteries only. Do not mix old and new
batteries or dierent types of batteries (standard, alkaline,
or rechargeable). If you do not plan to use the grill for a
month or more, remove the batteries.
1) Locate the battery housing on the inside of the cabinet
on the bottom right side.
2) Press the tabs on the battery door to open (F).
3) Replace six size D batteries.
CAUTION: NEVER SPRAY THE GRILL WITH A STEADY WATER
STREAM SUCH AS FROM A GARDEN HOSE OR POWER
WASHER. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS COULD BECOME
DAMAGED.
m WARNING: Turn your grill o and wait for it to cool
before thoroughly cleaning.
m WARNING: Over time, the development of rough
surfaces can form on the FLAVORIZER BARS.
Wearing gloves is recommended when handling.
Do not clean FLAVORIZER BARS or cooking grates
in a sink, dishwasher, or self-cleaning oven.
m WARNING: 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.
m CAUTION: Do not place any grill components onto
the side tables as they may scratch the paint or
stainless steel surfaces.
m CAUTION: Do not use any of the following to clean
your grill: abrasive stainless steel polishes or
paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits
or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers
(kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.

Troubleshooting
Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burners in your grill were factory set for the
correct air and gas mixture. When the burners are
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).
m 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.
m CAUTION: The burner tube openings must be
positioned properly over the valve orifices.
Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners(D)
are fitted with stainless steel screens to prevent
spiders and other insects from spinning webs
and building nests inside the venturi section of
the burners. These nests can obstruct the normal
gas flow, and can cause gas to flow back out of the
combustion air opening. Symptoms of this kind of
obstruction include the odour of gas in conjunction
with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy.
This obstruction could result in a fire in and around
the gas valve, causing serious damage to your grill.
Additionally, dust and debris can accumulate on the
outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the
oxygen flow to the burners. Keep the spider screens
clean. Refer to “Cleaning the Spider Screens” in the
Product Care section.
