IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS WHAT IS LP GAS? Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG, 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 cylinder, LPG is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes LP gas.
LPG CYLINDER INSTALLATION WHERE DOES THE LPG CYLINDER GO? The type and size of cylinder you purchase will determine its placement for installation. There are two installation options: secured to the cylinder bracket on the bottom rack of the cart or placed on the ground behind the barbecue. 1 m DANGER Do not store an extra (spare) or disconnected gas supply cylinder under or near this barbecue.
LPG CYLINDER INSTALLATION INSTALLATION ON CART A) Make sure the cylinder rest is installed to prevent scratching the bottom rack. Lift and place the LPG cylinder on the cylinder rest (1). B) Turn the cylinder so the opening of the valve is facing the right side or back of barbecue. C) Secure the cylinder to the cylinder bracket using the cylinder strap (2). 1 m WARNING: The cylinder must be secured to the cylinder bracket when barbecue is in use.
CONNECTING THE REGULATOR WHAT IS A REGULATOR? 1 Your Weber gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LPG cylinder. ® 2 3 CONNECTING THE REGULATOR TO THE LPG CYLINDER Only use LPG cylinders with a minimum capacity of 3 kg and a maximum capacity of 13 kg. A) Remove screw from right cart leg of cart. Insert hose retention clip. Reinstall screw.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR BARBECUE WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK? The fuel system in your barbecue features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings. Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your barbecue for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR BARBECUE C) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections: a) Manifold-to-regulator hose connection (7). b) Valve-to-outside burner tube gas line connection (8). c) Valve-to-inside burner tube gas line connection (9). d) Regulator-to-cylinder connection (10). e) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (11).
DISCONNECTING THE REGULATOR DISCONNECTING THE REGULATOR FROM THE LPG CYLINDER A) Remove the LPG cylinder by shutting off the gas supply and disconnecting the hose and regulator assembly from the cylinder. 1 m WARNING: Make sure that the cylinder or regulator valve is closed. Identify your regulator type. Follow the disconnection instructions for that regulator. Disconnect by Turning Anti-Clockwise Unscrew regulator from cylinder by turning fitting anticlockwise (1).
SAFETY CHECKS BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE SAFETY FIRST It’s a good idea to get in the habit of performing a few safety checks before barbecuing. Safety must be considered when you are deciding where to place and operate your barbecue. Be sure to read the following warnings before installing or using your barbecue. WARNINGS: m This appliance is intended for outdoor use only and should never be used in garages and roofed or enclosed porches or verandas.
BURNER IGNITION & USAGE METHODS OF BURNER IGNITION There are two ways to ignite the burner. The first is by using the ignition system built into your barbecue. The second is with a match. Next are the steps for igniting your barbecue using the ignition system. On the following page are steps for igniting your barbecue with a match. BURNER IGNITION A) Open the barbecue lid (1).
BURNER IGNITION & USAGE BURNER IGNITION Lighting with a Match A) Open the barbecue lid (1). 1 m DANGER Failure to open the lid before igniting the barbecue’s burners, or not waiting five minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death. B) Make sure ALL burner control knobs are turned off (2). Check by pushing burner control knobs in and turning them clockwise until they stop.
BARBECUING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS TIPS & HINTS • Always preheat the barbecue before cooking. Set burner(s) on high heat and close lid; preheat for 10 to 15 minutes. • The temperature of your gas barbecue may run hotter than normal for the first few uses. • Recipe barbecuing times are based on outside temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and little or no wind. Allow for more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow for less cooking time in extremely hot weather.
BARBECUING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS RED MEAT Thickness / Weight Approximate Total Barbecuing Time Steak: New York strip, rib-eye, and filet mignon (tenderloin) ¾ inch thick 3 to 5 minutes direct high heat 1 inch thick 6 to 8 minutes direct high heat Steak: Porterhouse and T-bone ¾ inch thick 4 to 6 minutes direct high heat 1 inch thick 8 to 10 minutes direct high heat Flank Steak 1½ to 2 pounds, ¾ inch thick 12 to 14 minutes direct high heat Ground Beef Patty ¾ inch thick 8 to 10 minutes direc
COOKING METHODS DIRECT METHOD OR INDIRECT METHOD? COOKING METHOD AND USES The most important thing to know about barbecuing is which cooking method to use for a specific food, direct or indirect. The difference is simple. With the direct method, which is similar to broiling, the food is cooked directly over the fire. With the indirect method, fire is arranged on either side of the food.
TROUBLESHOOTING GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS Burner does not ignite when you push the igniter button. Be sure that there is gas flow to the burners by attempting to match light your burner. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION— Lighting with a Match.” If match lighting is successful, the problem lies in the ignition system. Refer to “MAINTAINING THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SYSTEM (Q® 3000)” or “MAINTAINING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM (Q® 3200).
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE KEEPING YOUR WEBER® GAS BARBECUE IN TIP-TOP SHAPE m DANGER Failure to correct any problems described on this page may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property. To keep your Weber® gas barbecue performing as safely and efficiently as on day one, we strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the spider/insect screen(s) and burner tube(s) at least once a year.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE BURNER TUBE CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT Confirm that Barbecue is Off and Cool A) Turn gas supply off at source and disconnect LPG cylinder.

If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off. C) Open lid and remove cookbox components.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE Clean Burner Tubes You will need: A torch, a wire (a straightened-out coat hanger), a suitable stainless steel bristle brush, and a soft bristle brush (toothbrush). A) Look inside each burner tube with a torch (5). B) Clean any debris or blockage from the inside of the burner tubes with the wire (6). C) Check spider/insect screens at the ends of the burner tubes and clean them using the soft bristle brush (7). m CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/ insect screens with hard or sharp tools.
