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.
LIGHTING EACH HEAT ZONE OPERATES INDEPENDENTLY Crossover Ignition System 1 Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel.

CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® Bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. For availability of replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.
USING THE STEAM-N-CHIPS SMOKER The Steam-N-Chips Smoker cooks with both Weber FireSpice Wood Chips and Chunks. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using the FireSpice Chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time.
The LP cylinder supplied with your barbecue is equipped with an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device) and a QCC1 or Type 1 (CGA810) cylinder connection. The cylinder connection is compatible with the barbecue connection. REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is completely empty. This is a secondary device to prevent the overfilling of your LP cylinder.
Hook the liquid propane cylinder onto the fuel gauge. Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut. Remove plastic dust cover from the fuel cylinder valve. Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder valve(1), clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only. Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.
Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements • Replacement LP cylinders supplied by Weber satisfy the above requirements. Check to be sure other cylinders have a D.O.T. certification(1), and date tested(2) is within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. If you have questions about spare LP cylinders The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings.
