Manual Lighting DANGER Failure to open lid while igniting the barbecue, 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. 7) After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the other burners.
Cooking You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT at medium, CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a), retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution.

DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. WARNING: Check gas supply line before each use of barbecue for nicks or cracking.
General Maintenance Main Burner Flame Pattern Weber Spider/Insect Screen The Weber Gas Barbecue burners have been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown. 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 of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter.
4) Disconnect gas supply line. 7) To reinstall the burners, reverse steps 3) through 7). 5) Unhook the manifold bracket and unscrew the two wing nuts(1) that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down. CAUTION: The burner openings(1) must be positioned properly over the valve orifices(2). Check proper assembly before fastening manifold in place.
Crossover® Ignition System Operations If the Crossover Ignition System fails to ignite the Front burner, light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System. ■ Check that both the white(1) and black(2) ignition wires are attached properly. (1) (2) ■ Check that the Crossover Ignition button pushes the igniter (button) down, and returns to the up position. ■ Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame.
