Portability means you can take your Weber® gas barbecue with you if you move.

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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a specific food, Direct or Indirect. The difference is simple: place the food directly over the fire, or arrange the fire on either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to great results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety. DIRECT COOKING The Direct Method, similar to broiling, means the food is cooked directly over the heat source.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS • Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on HIGH heat and close lid; heat for 10 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500˚-550˚F (260˚-288˚C). • Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time. • Grilling times in recipes are based on 70˚F (20˚C) weather and little or no wind. Allow more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking time in extremely hot weather.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1) 2) 3) Open the lid. Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF. (Push each burner control knob down and turn clockwise to ensure that they are in the OFF position.)

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.

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 combustion air opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, 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 (See “Replace Main Burners”).
MAINTENANCE 8. Disconnect all ignition wires from the Ignition Module. 9. 10. Disconnect the Thermocouple from the IR Burner valve. 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.

(2) CAUTION: The burner openings (1) must be positioned properly over the valve orifices (2). Check proper assembly before fastening manifold in place.
MAINTENANCE CROSSOVER® IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATIONS If the Crossover® ignition system fails to ignite the LEFT burner in a burner set, light the LEFT burner with a match. If the LEFT burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover® ignition system. • Check that both ignition wires(1,2) are attached properly. • Check that the Crossover® ignition button is activating. • You should hear the igniter sparking.
