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.
Getting Started 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 scale (A). A E 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).
A D B E Getting Started Leak Checking 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 factorymade 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.
Operation Igniting the Grill A Using the Snap Ignition System to Ignite the 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.
SEASONING TROUBLESHOOTING Season the Cooking Surface SYMPTOM This process takes time, so give yourself a few hours to complete it before you cook. Uneven seasoned surface with thick, sticky patches of oil. Seasoning susceptible to chipping and flaking. Tools Needed: Tongs, lint-free paper towels or cotton cloth, neutral cooking oil. Before your first cook, you will need to season your Griddle.
Operation Tips For Cooking Tame the Heat Your WEBER Griddle’s cooking surface is fantastic at generating heat – and maintaining that heat – even when it’s loaded with food. Because it’s so good at holding onto heat, it can take a while to cool down. So, we suggest starting at lower temperatures when you’re first getting used to cooking on the griddle. Getting your grill hotter is easy, it’s getting it to cool down that takes time.
A D B E Meal-to-Meal Maintenance The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important steps that should always be performed prior to cooking. Check for Grease Operation Every Time You Cook 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 prevent grease fires. 1.
Product Care Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning 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 off and cooled for 5 minutes, use a metal scraper or spatula to scrape excess grease, oil, and food debris into the hole in the griddle (A). NOTE: For stubborn, stuck on food debris, a small amount of room temperature water can be used during the scraping process.
SYMPTOM •M ain burners do not ignite when following the ignition instructions in the “Operation” section of this owner's manual. CAUSE SOLUTION There is a problem with gas flow. If any burner does not ignite, the first step is to determine if there is gas flowing to the burner(s). To check this, follow the instructions below for “Lighting Your Grill with a Match.” If match lighting IS NOT successful, follow the “GAS FLOW” troubleshooting suggestions on the next page.
Troubleshooting GAS FLOW Proper Burner Flame Pattern SYMPTOM 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). • Grill does not reach desired temperature or heats unevenly. • One or more of the burners fail to ignite. • Flame is low when burner is on high position.
FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions WHAT OIL IS BEST TO USE? NA neutral cooking oil such as canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil. WHY IS MY GRIDDLE CHANGING COLOR?

HOW LONG DO I PREHEAT MY GRIDDLE? You will want to preheat the grill for approximately 10 to 15 minutes with the griddle in place.
