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
• Three burner grills are designed to operate at 7" of water
column pressure (0.2526 psi).
• Four burner grills are 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).
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: Keep any electrical supply cord and the
fuel supply cord away from heated surfaces.

GETTING STARTED
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.
E
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(E). 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.

OPERATION
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).
3) Turn the gas supply valve on (C).
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 snap 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.

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.

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.
