GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Your Weber® gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber® gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that “outdoor” flavor in the food. The Weber® gas barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber® gas barbecue with, if you move.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GRILLING METHODS NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot. You can adjust the Left and Right burners in each burner set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O).
GAS INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury. DANGER NEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this barbecue. NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. Your Weber® gas grill is equipped for a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal. WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a wellventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
GAS INSTRUCTIONS Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only. WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak. 5) 6) 7) Mix soap and water. Turn on the cylinder valve. Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles.
GAS INSTRUCTIONS Put your fingers under the front edge of the control panel and lift off. Completely remove the control panel (4) from the cooking box assembly exposing the valves, burners, igniter, and manifold. Remove the Front Panel by sliding the panel up and out of the slots. (2 ) (4 ) CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS DANGER Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks.
GAS INSTRUCTIONS Check: 1) Hose connection. 2) Gas line to manifold connections. SUMMIT® A (2) (1) WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1, or 2), retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after re-tightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS REINSTALL CONTROL PANEL Parts required: control panel, screws, and burner control knobs. Place the control panel back onto the control panel brackets on either side of the front of the cooking box. Line up screws with screw holes on both the control panel and control panel brackets. Tighten screws. Reinstall burner control knobs & igniter wires (if necessary). Place corresponding control knobs down onto the valve stems.
GAS INSTRUCTIONS REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is completely empty. Removal of the LP cylinder 1) Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise). 2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only. 3) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way. 4) Lift cylinder off. To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
GAS INSTRUCTIONS • Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this. • The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly. • Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GRILLING METHODS NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. You can adjust the Left and Right burners in each burner set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O). If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting. WARNING: Check the bottom tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INDIRECT COOKING The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavor, and appearance you can’t get from an oven. To set up for Indirect cooking, gas burners are lit on either side of the food but not directly beneath it. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on all sides, much like a convection oven, so there’s no need to turn the food.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIGHTING MAIN BURNER LIGHTING Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel. 1 DANGER Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER When the “excess gas flow control” feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS USING THE SMOKER The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIGHTING THE SMOKER BURNER 1 WARNING: Check hose before each use of grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Weber® authorized replacement hose.

MAINTENANCE WEBER® SPIDER /INSECT SCREENS Your Weber® gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section(1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
MAINTENANCE MAIN BURNER FLAME PATTERN The Weber® gas barbecue burners have been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown. 1) Burner tube 2) Tips occasionally flicker yellow 3) Light blue 4) Dark blue If the flames do not appear to be uniform throughout the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures. (1) (2) (3) (4) MAIN BURNER CLEANING PROCEDURE Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold. Look inside each burner with a flashlight.
MAINTENANCE 9. Disconnect the Thermocouple from the IR Burner valve. 10. Remove screws from the manifold assembly: (a) Locate the screws on both sides of the manifold frame. (b) Remove the screws from manifold frame. (a ) (a (b ) 11. Pull manifold assembly out from the manifold frame.
MAINTENANCE 12. Lift and twist the burner assembly slightly, to separate the Crossover® tube (a) from the burners (b). (b) (b) (a) 13. 14. Remove the Crossover® tube. Pull the selected burner(s) tube(s) from manifold frame and replace with a new burner tube. 15. To reinstall the manifold assembly, reverse steps 7 through 14.
