GETTING STARTED
Important Information about LPGas &
Gas Connections
What Is LP Gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid
propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable,
petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. 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 vaporizes and becomes gas.
Safe Handling Tips For LP Tanks
• A dented or rusty liquid propane tank may be hazardous and
should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Donot
use a liquid propane tank with a damaged valve.
• Although your liquid propane tank may appear to be empty,
gas may still be present, and the tank should be transported
and stored accordingly.
• The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored in an
upright, secure position. LP tanks should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures
can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the tank will become too hot to
hold by hand).
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on
the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
LP Tank Requirements
• The tank must be approximately 18¼inches (46.35 cm) high
and 12¼ inches (31.1 cm) in diameter with a marked 20
pound (9.07 kg) LPG capacity or 47.6 pound (21.6 kg) water
capacity as stated by the manufacturer. Other tanks may
be acceptable provided they are compatible with the grill
retention means (tank scale).
• The tank used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.); or the
Canadian Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/
CSA-B339, as applicable.
• Tanks must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling
Prevention Device) and a Type 1 (CGA 791) tank connection.
The tank connection must be compatible with the grill
connection.
• The tank must include a collar to protect the tank valve.
• Tanks must have a D.O.T. certification (A), and a testing date
(B) that is within five years of current use.
LP Tank Installation
The tank is hung onto the tank bracket which is located on
the right side of grill. The shape of the collar assembly (the
metal protective ring around the tank valve) determines one
of two directions in which the tank will correctly hang on the
tank bracket (A).
Inspect the Tank
1) Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by
turning valve clockwise.
2) Confirm that the tank valve is the proper mating type for
the regulator (B).
3) Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber seal
for damage or debris (C). If damaged, return tank to local
retailer.
Install The Tank
1) Check that all burner control knobs are in the
o position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise.
2) The tank is hung by the collar assembly (the metal
protective ring around the tank valve) onto the tank
bracket (D).
3) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, turning
clockwise. Hand-tighten only. Using a wrench could
damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
Proceed to “CHECKING FOR GASLEAKS.”

Refilling or Replacing an LPTank
How Much Fuel is in the Tank?
This feature is only available on select models.
The tank scale indicates the amount of fuel in a standard
20 pound (9.07 kg) tank once the tank is hung from the
scale. The fuel level is checked by viewing the indicator
line located on the scale inside of the cabinet. Some
models include an indicator on the front of the grill. The
indicator points to a full tank (A), and gradually moves
to indicate when the tank is empty (B) and needs to be
removed to replace or refill.
Removal of the LP Tank
1) Make sure the grill is o and cool.
2) Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by
turning valve clockwise.
3) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning
counterclockwise by hand.
4) On the tank scale, loosen hand nut and rotate tank lock
up.
5) Lift tank o tank hook.

LeakChecking
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank 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 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 regulator connects to the tank.
• 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) Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve
counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (B), turn o the gas.
DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the tank
and return the tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (C), turn o the gas
(D). NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE REGULATOR
WITH TANK VALVE OPEN. DO NOT OPERATE THE
GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative
in your area using the contact information on our
website.
c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration
(D), re-tighten fitting with a wrench and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution. If leak persists,
turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
d) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration
(E), turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Turn the gas supply o at the tank 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.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The following fittings should be tested for gas leaks each
time a tank is refilled and reinstalled:
• Where the regulator connects to the tank (B) and at the
regulator (C).
Follow the instructions for "Checking for Gas Leaks".

OPERATION
m WARNING: The burner control knobs must be
in the OFF position before turning on the liquid
propane tank valve. If they are not in the OFF
position, when you turn on the LP tank valve, the
“excess gas flow control” feature will activate,
limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank. If this
should occur, turn o the LP tank valve and
burner control knobs. Start over.
m DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control”
feature is activated, a small amount of gas is
still flowing to the burners. After turning o the
tank and burner control knobs, wait at least five
minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to
light the grill. Failure to do so may result in an
explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily
injury or death.
m WARNING: Do not operate the grill with the
protective hard cover closed. The protective hard
cover is to be used for storage purposes only to
protect the griddle.
m WARNING: Open protective hard cover during
ignition. Failure to open the protective hard cover
while igniting the grill’s burners, or not waiting
five minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill
does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up
which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
m WARNING: Do not lean over open grill while
igniting or cooking.
m WARNING: Each burner must be ignited
individually using the snap ignition.
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
and repeat the lighting procedure a second time.
If the burner still does not light, turn the burner
control knob to OFF and wait five minutes to let
the gas clear before you try again or try to light
with a match.
Igniting the Grill
Using the Snap Ignition System to Ignite Burners
Each control knob snap igniter creates a spark from the
igniter electrode to the burner lighting tube. You generate
the energy for the spark by pushing in the control knob
and turning it to the start/high position. Each control knob
operates an individual burner, and each burner ignites
independently. Ignite the burners starting from left to
right. All burners should be lit for preheating, however, all
burners do not have to be lit while cooking.
1) Open the protective hard cover (A).
m WARNING: Do not operate the grill with the hard cover
closed. The hard cover is to be used for storage purposes
only to protect the griddle.
2) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o
position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise (B).
Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the
o position before turning on the LP tank. If they are not,
the flow limiting device built into the regulator will activate,
limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.
3) Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve
counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds (C).
Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on slowly.
Ifit is opened too quickly, the flow limiting device built into
the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the
LP tank.
4) Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Push the
burner control knob in (D) and turn it counterclockwise
to the start/high
position until you hear it snap (E).
Continue to hold the control knob in for two seconds
after you hear the snap. This action will spark the igniter
and light the burner.
5) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the space
in between the cooking surface and the control panel.
6) If the burner does not ignite, turn burner control knob
to the o
position and repeat the lighting procedure
a second time. If the burner still does not light, turn the
burner control knob to OFF and wait five minutes to let the
gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.
7) If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 6 to light the
remaining burners.
Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic ignition,
refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this Owner's
Guide. Thereyou will find instructions on igniting the grill
with a match to help determine the exact problem.
Preheat the Griddle
Preheating the griddle is critical to successful cooking. It
helps prevent food from sticking, and ensures the griddle is
hot enough to properly cook your food. Italso helps burn o
any residue of a previously cooked meal.
1. Open the protective hard cover.
2. Ignite your griddle according to the ignition instruc-
tions in this Owner's Manual.
3. Preheat the griddle for10 minutes. WEBER
recommends preheating the griddle to the
temperature you want to cook at (i.e. if you’re cooking
pancakes, preheat on LOW. If you’re cooking smash
burgers, preheat on HIGH).
To Extinguish Burners
1) Push each burner control knob in and then turn
clockwise all the way to the o position.
2) Turn gas supply o at the LP tank.

Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burner in your grill 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).
m 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 grill.
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. Additionally, dust and
debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/
insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the
burners.
PRODUCT CARE
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.

m WARNING: Turn your grill o and wait for it to cool
before thoroughly cleaning.
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 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.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintaining the Griddle
The griddle surface should be cleaned after each use to
preserve it and continue to ensure a non-stick cooking
surface. Follow these steps for a proper cleaning:
1. After the grill is o and cooled for 5 minutes, use a
scraper or spatula to scrape excess grease, oil, and food
debris into the hole in the griddle.
NOTE: For stubborn, stuck on food debris, a small amount
of room temperature water can be used during the scraping
process. DO NOT USE LARGE AMOUNTS COLD WATER WHILE
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE.
2. Using several paper towels, wipe and dry the griddle's
surface, directing any excess grease, oil, and food debris
into the hole in the griddle.
3. Apply small amounts of a neutral cooking oil such as
vegetable or canola across the griddle's surface.
4. Using paper towels, rub the oil evenly around the entire
cooking surface. Use more paper towels if needed to wipe
up any excess pools of oil.
Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum
performance are the ports (small openings running along
the length of the burners) and the spider/insect screens on
the front ends of the burners. Keeping these areas clean is
essential for safe operation.
Cleaning the Burner Ports
1) Once the grill has been turned o and cooled, and the LP
tank has been disconnected, using BBQ mitts or gloves
remove the griddle and set aside.
2) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the
outside of the burners by brushing across the burner
ports.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
To access the spider/insect screens, it is necessary to
remove the control panel (A). Follow these steps for
removing the control panel:
1) Remove the slide out grease tray and set aside.
2) Remove the control knobs and set aside.
3) Remove the red control panel trim by sliding it to the left
and pulling it away from the bottom of the control panel.
4) Remove the 2 screws that hold the control panel to the
grill frame and set aside.
5) Remove the control panel by pulling it up o of the
hanging tabs and set it aside.
6) Clean the spider/insect screens on the ends of the
burner tubes using a soft bristle brush (B).
7)
Re-install all components.
NOTE: Ensure the digital thermometer wires are
connected before reassembly. (Only available on select
models).
Cleaning the Grill Frame
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.
Check for Grease
Your griddle was built with a grease management system that
collects grease and food debris into a disposable container.
The grease and food debris is channeled into a disposable
drip pan that lines the grease tray. This system should be
cleaned before you cook to preventgrease fires.
1. Confirm that the grill is o and completely cooled.
2.
Remove any excess grease or food debris with a scraper
and wipe the griddle clean with a paper towel. Scrape the
grease and food debris down through the openning on the
flat top cooking surface into the disposable drip pan below.
3. Remove the grease tray. Check for excessive amounts of
grease and food debris in the disposable drip pan that
lines the grease tray. Discard the disposable drip pan when
necessary and replace it with a new one.
4. Reinstall all components.
NOTE: In the event of severe weather, water may enter the
grease tray and disposable drip pan. Check the disposable
drip pan and grease tray for water and empty when
necessary.
Clean the Cooking Surface
After preheating, leftover food and grease from previous use
will be easier to remove with a scraper if needed.
1. Scrape the cooking surface with a scraper after preheat-
ing. Direct any leftover grease or food into the hole in the
griddle's cooking surface.

Lighting Your Grill with a Match
Using a Match to Determine if there is Gas Flow to
the Main Burners
Matchstick holder is available on select models only.
1) Remove the protective hard cover.
m WARNING: Do not operate the grill with the hard
cover closed. The hard cover is to be used for storage
purposes only to protect the griddle.
2) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o
position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise.
Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in
the o position before turning on the LP tank. If they
are not, the flow limiting device built into the regulator will
activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.
3) Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve
counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds.
Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on slowly.
Ifit is opened too quickly, the flow limiting device built into
the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from
the LP tank.
4) Begin with the burner furthest to the left. Put match
in the matchstick holder and strike match. (Matchstick
holder is located inside the rear right leg of the grill.)
Insert lit match through the slot on the side of the
griddle, next to the burner(A).
5) Pushthe burner control knob in and slowly turn it
counterclockwise to the start/high
position (B).
6) Confirm that the burner is lit by looking bewteen the
griddle and the grill frame.
7) 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. If repeated attempts fail, follow
the gas flow troubleshooting instructions on the next
page.
8) If the burner ignites, the problem may be with the
ignition system. Contact WEBER customer service
about checking the ignitionsystem.
9) Replace the matchstick holder by hanging it inside the
rear right leg of the grill (C).
