GETTING STARTED
Important Information about LPGas
& 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 Gas Cylinders
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 WEBER gas grill.
• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.
• Although your LP cylinder may appear to be empty,
gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be
transported and stored accordingly.
• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where
temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the cylinder
will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do
not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.
• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
• The LP cylinder to be used must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas
cylinders, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or
the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
• Cylinders must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling
Prevention Device) and a CGA #600 cylinder connection.
The cylinder connection must be compatible with the
grill connection.
Regulator Connections
Your WEBER 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
cylinder. Each WEBER pressure regulator is designed for
vapor withdrawal.
• The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas
grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of
water column pressure.
Installing the LP Cylinder
Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of 16.4
oz./465 g (1.02 lbs) equipped with a CGA #600 connection
and marked "propane" only.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the o (
)
position.
2) Push LP cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise
until tight (A). With the LP cylinder in place, the
release lever of the cart becomes locked, preventing
the grill from being lowered.
Removing the LP Cylinder
Every time you need to lower the grill cart, or your LP
cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these instructions
to remove it.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the o (
)
position.
2) Unscrew LP cylinder from regulator and remove it
from the grill.
Storage and/or Travel
Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) the cylinder is empty; 2) the
grill is being transported; 3) the grill is being stored in a
garage or other enclosed area; 4) the grill is not in use.
• 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.
Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
Do not store or transport a disconnected LP cylinder
inside the grill.
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while,
it is important to follow these guidelines:
• The WEBER gas grill 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.”)
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 every time you disconnect
and reconnect a gas fitting. The following fittings should
be tested:
Where the cylinder connects to the regulator.
Where the regulator connects to the valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the o (
)
position.
2) Wet fittings (B) 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.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (C), remove the
propane cylinder. DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
Install a dierent propane cylinder and recheck
for leaks with a soap and water solution. If the
leak persists, remove the propane cylinder. DO
NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer
Service Representative in your area using the
contact information on our website.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (D), turn o the gas.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE REGULATOR.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. 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.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) 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.
m 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.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a
gas leak present.
m DANGER: 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 department.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under or
near this grill. Never fill the tank beyond 80%
full. Failure to follow these statements exactly
may result in a fire causing death or serious
injury.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the
connection. Using a wrench could damage the
regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked
"Propane" only.

The Very First Time You Grill
Perform an Initial Burn-O
Heat the grill on the highest setting, with the lid closed,
for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling for the firsttime.
Every Time You Grill
Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the
following simple, yet important, steps that should
always be performed prior to grilling.
Check for Grease
Your grill was built with a grease management
system that funnels grease away from food and into a
disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled
down the cookbox and into a disposable drip tray that
lines the slide-out catch pan. This system should be
cleaned each and every time you grill to preventfires.
1) Confirm that the grill is o and cool.
2) Remove the slide-out catch pan (A). Check for
excessive amounts of grease in the disposable drip
pan that lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip
pan when necessary and replace with a new one.
4) Reinstall all components.
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.
Italso 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 the burner on the start/high
position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer
registers 500° F (260° C)(B).
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 grill
brush immediately after preheating (C).
m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out catch pan or
cookbox with aluminum foil.
m DANGER: Check the slide-out catch pan for
grease build-up before each use. Remove
excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
m WARNING: Use caution when removing slide-out
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.

The ignition system ignites the burner with a spark
from the igniter electrode. You generate the energy for
the spark by pushing and turning the control knob to
the start/high position. You will hear the igniter click.
After preheating on high is complete, you may adjust the
burner control knob to your desired setting for grilling.
1) Open the grill lid (A).
2) Check that the burner control knob is in the o
position. Check by pushing in and turning knob
clockwise (B).
3) Confirm that the cylinder is properly installed. Refer
to “Installing the LP Cylinder.
4) Push the burner control knob in and turn it
counterclockwise to the start/high
position. You
will hear the igniter click (C).
5) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the
cooking grates. You should see a flame.
6) 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.
Should the burner fail to ignite using the ignition
system, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Thereyou will find instructions on igniting the grill with
a match to help determine the exact problem.
To Extinguish Burners

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 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.
A thorough cleaning is recommended when the grill is
going to be folded and stored vertically, or at least twice
a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings.
When your grill is o 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
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 (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 o your
cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill
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 grill 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).

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(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 grill. Instructions on inspecting the grease
management system can be found in MEAL-TO-MEAL
MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning the Outside of theGrill
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel,
porcelain-enameled, 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 grills. Use a microfiber 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 color of the metal by removing the top
chromium oxide film coating.
Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces
and PlasticComponents
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.
GRILLBRUSH
A must-use before you even dream
of grilling. A quick once-over on hot
grates prevents the charred remains
of meals past from sticking to
your meals present.
