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.
m 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. Sparks or open flames will
result in a fire or explosion, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death and
damage to property.
m WARNING: The gas connections
of your gas barbecue have been
factory-tested. We do, however,
recommend that you leak-check all gas
connections before operating your gas
barbecue.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your barbecue was dealer- or
store-assembled.
m WARNING: You should check for gas
leaks every time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting.
NOTE: All factory-made connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have
been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however,
you should check all fittings for leaks before using your
Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap
and water solution. (You can make your own soap and
water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water;
or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing
section of any hardware store.)
A) Make sure ALL burner control knobs are turned off.
Check by pushing burner control knobs in and turning
them clockwise until they stop.
B) Turn gas supply on at source.
Identify your regulator type. Follow the instructions for
that regulator.

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.
REMOVABLE CATCH PAN AND
DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN
Your barbecue was built with a grease collection
system, which funnels grease away from food and into a
removable catch pan. For your convenience, you can also
line the removable catch pan with a Weber
®
disposable
drip pan, which will help keep the removable catch pan
cleaner longer.
Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important as
cleaning the cookbox. Check the removable catch pan
for grease build-up each time you use your barbecue.
Remove excess grease with a plastic scraper (1). Wash
the removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and
rinse with water.
m WARNING: Check the removable catch
pan or disposable drip pan for grease
build-up before each use. Remove
excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
A grease fire can cause serious bodily
injury or damage to property.
m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox,
removable catch pan or disposable
drip pan with aluminium foil.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of
cracking (2).
m WARNING: Check hose before each
use of barbecue for nicks, cracking,
abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found
to be damaged in any way, do not
use the barbecue. Replace using
only Weber
®
authorised replacement
hose. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the
contact information on our web site.

BARBECUING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
PREHEATING
Preheating the barbecue before barbecuing is important.
To preheat: Light your barbecue according to the
instructions in this Owner’s Guide; then turn burner(s) to
start/high () position, close the lid, and preheat barbecue.
This will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions
such as air temperature and wind. After preheating, you
can adjust the burner(s) as desired.
m WARNING: Should the burner(s) go out
while barbecue is in operation, turn
burner control knob(s) to off position.
Open the lid and wait five minutes
before attempting to relight barbecue,
using the igniting instructions.
COVERED COOKING
All barbecuing is done with the lid down to provide
uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed,
the gas barbecue cooks much like a convection oven.
The thermometer in the lid, a feature on some of our
barbecues, indicates the cooking temperature inside the
barbecue. All preheating and barbecuing is done with the
lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the
lid.
GREASE COLLECTION SYSTEM
Unique cooking grate design features angled, cast-iron
rails that deflect drippings away from the burner tube(s),
preventing flare-ups that can char food. The remaining
drippings flow into a removable catch pan that slides out
for easy cleaning.
For more barbecuing tips and recipes, visit
www.weber.com
®
.
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 conditions may
require adjustment of the
burner control knobs to
attain the correct cooking
temperatures.
• Sear meats and cook with
the lid down for perfectly
barbecued food every time.
• Crowding food onto a cooking
grate means more time will be
required to cook the food.
• Trim excess fat from steaks,
chops, and roasts, leaving
no more than a scant ¼ inch
(6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes
clean-up easier, and is a virtual
guarantee against unwanted
flare-ups.
• In general, large pieces of meat
will require more cooking time
per pound (kilo) than small
pieces of meat.
• Some foods, such as a
casserole or thin fish fillets,
will require a container for
barbecuing. Disposable foil
pans are very convenient, but
any metal pan with ovenproof
handles can also be used.
• Foods in containers, such as
baked beans, will require more
time if barbecued in a deep
casserole than in a shallow
baking pan.
• Use tongs rather than a fork for
turning and handling meats to
avoid losing natural juices. Use
two spatulas for handling large
whole fish.
• Always be sure the cookbox and
removable catch pan are clean
and free from debris.
• Do not line the cookbox with
foil. This could prevent the
grease from flowing into the
removable catch pan.
• If an unwanted flare-up should
occur, turn burner(s) off and
move food to another area of
the cooking grate. Any flames
will quickly subside. After
flames subside, relight the
barbecue. NEVER USE WATER
TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A
GAS barbecue.
• Using a timer will help to alert
you when “well done” is about
to become “overdone.”
• A light coating of oil will help
brown your food evenly and
keep it from sticking to the
cooking grate. Always brush
or spray oil onto your food, not
directly onto the cooking grate.
• When using a marinade, sauce
or glaze with a high sugar
content or other ingredients
that burn easily, only brush it
onto the food during the last 5
to 10 minutes of barbecuing.

COOKING METHODS
DIRECT METHOD OR
INDIRECTMETHOD?
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. The indirect method is similar to roasting,
but with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavour,
and appearance you can’t get from cooking with an oven.
Using the right method is the shortest route to great
results—and the best way to ensure safely cooked food.
With each method, you can adjust the burners as desired.
The control settings — HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF —
are described in the chart to the right. For example, to
sear steaks, set both burners to HI, then to complete
cooking, set both burners to LOW. For great barbecuing
inspiration, visit www.weber.com/recipes.

m DANGER
Failure to correct any problems described

can cause serious bodily injury or death,
and cause damage to property.
KEEPING YOUR
WEBER
®
GAS BARBECUE
IN TIP-TOP SHAPE
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. Below is important
information about these two areas of the barbecue that
should undergo annual maintenance.
If you observe an incorrect flame pattern or blocked
burner port, proceed to the “BURNER TUBE
CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT” instructions on the
following page.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner tube(s) in your Weber
®
gas barbecue was/
were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The
correct flame pattern is shown in illustration and described
below:
• Burner tube(s) (1)
• Tips occasionally flicker yellow (2)
• Light blue (3)
• Dark blue (4)
Check burner flame pattern. If the flames do not match the
above description, it could be an indication that the spider/
insect screen(s) has/have become dirty or blocked.
WEBER
®
SPIDER/INSECT SCREEN(S)
The combustion air opening(s) of the burner tube(s) (5)
is/are fitted with stainless steel screen(s) to help prevent
spiders and other insects from spinning webs and
building nests inside the venturi section (6) of the burner
tube(s). These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow,
and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion
air opening(s) (7). Symptoms of this kind of obstruction
include the odour of gas in conjunction with burner flames
that appear yellow and lazy. This obstruction could result
in a fire in and around the gas valve(s), causing serious
damage to your barbecue (8).
NOTE: If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact information
on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.
BURNER TUBE PORTS
Over time, from repeated use of the barbecue, the burner
tube ports will become dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can
restrict full gas flow. Following are ways to determine
whether burner tube ports are dirty or blocked.
• Barbecue does not reach desired temperature
• Barbecue heats unevenly
• One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite
