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) LP 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.
What is a Regulator?
Your gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator, which
is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as
gas is released from the LP tank.
Regulator Requirements
• The regulator and hose assembly supplied with this grill
must be used. This regulator has a flow limiting device
built into the unit that will restrict the flow of gas in the
event that a leak is detected.
• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as
specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC (UL-listed Type 1
(CGA 791) tank connection device as described in the latest
edition of ANSI Z21.81).

LP Tank Installation
Installation Location
The tank is hung onto the tank hook which is located inside
the cabinet. 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
hook (A).
Inspect the Tank
1) Confirm that the tank valve is fully closed. Close by
turning valve clockwise.
2) Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber
seal for damage or debris (B). If damaged, return tank
to local retailer.
3) Confirm that the tank valve is the proper mating type
for the regulator (C).
Install The Tank
Check that all burner control knobs are in the
o position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise.
The LP tank will hang on the tank hook mounted on the
inside panel.
1) Locate the metal hose retention clip on the regulator
hose. Secure the clip into the slot on the underside of
the tank hook bracket (D).
2) Lift tank into position onto the tank hook.
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.”

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: The hose must be secured with the
Hose Retention Clip. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the hose resulting in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.
m WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the
fuel supply cord away from heated surfaces.
Refilling or Replacing an LPTank

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.
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.
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:
a) Turn 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:
• At the cylinder (B) and at the regulator (C).
Follow the instructions for "Checking for Gas Leaks".
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.

Using the sear zone
This feature is only available on select models.
Searing is a direct grilling technique used on meats, such
as steak, poultry parts, fish and chops. Searing browns
the surface of the food at a high temperature. By searing
both sides of the meat, you caramelize the food surface,
creating a more desirable flavor.
Ignition of the sear burner is the same as ignition of a
main burner, each burner ignites independently.
1) Open the lid and ignite all of the burners, including
the sear burner. Refer to IGNITING THE GRILL.
2) Preheat the grill with the lid closed and with all
burners on the start/high
position for 15 minutes.
3) After preheating, leave the sear burner control
knob and the adjacent burner control knobs in the
start/high
position (E). The sear burner works in
tandem with adjacent burners (F). The remaining
burner(s) can be turned to o or low.
4) Place meat directly over the sear zone
and close lid.
Sear each side anywhere from one to four minutes
(G), depending on the type and thickness of meat.
Once searing is complete, the meat can be moved
to moderate heat over and cooked to your desired
doneness.
Note: Always cook with the lid closed to achieve maximum
heat and to avoid flare-ups.
As you gain experience using the sear zone we
encourage you to experiment with dierent searing times
to find the results that work best for your taste.
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.
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 Grill
Using the Electronic Ignition System to Ignite the
Grill
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 grilling.
1) Open the grill lid (A).
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 (B).
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 and turn it counterclockwise to
the start/high
position (C).
5) Push and hold the electronic ignition button (D). Youwill
hear it ticking.
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the
cooking grates and through the half-circle cutout in the
FLAVORIZER bar.
7) If the burner does not ignite, 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.
8) 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.
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 start/high
position for 15 minutes(C).
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.

Igniting the Side Burner
Using the Electronic Ignition to
Ignite the Side Burner
This feature is only available on select models.
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.
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.
2) 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.
3) Open the side burner lid (B).
4) Push in and turn side burner control knob
counterclockwise to start/high
position (C).
5) Push and hold in the electronic ignition button (D). You
will hear the igniter clicking. 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 o at the LP tank.

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
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
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).
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.

Product Care
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.
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.
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.
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 burners. Additionally, dust and
debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/
insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the
burners.
