OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Lighting

Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel.
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.
Crossover Ignition System
Note - The Crossover Ignition System ignites the Front
burner with a spark from the igniter electrode inside the
Gas Catcher Ignition Chamber. You generate the energy
for the spark by pushing the Crossover Ignition Button
until it clicks.
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
authorized replacement manifold assembly. Order
from Weber-Stephen Products Co., Customer
Service Center or authorized dealer.

1) Open the lid. Figure 1.
2) Check that the fuel scale reads more than "E".
Note - E = empty; F = full.
3) Make sure all burner control knobs are OFF. (Push
each burner control knob down and turn clockwise.)
WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in
the OFF position before turning on the LP tank
valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you
turn on the LP tank valve, the excess flow control
will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP
tank. If this should occur, turn OFF the LP tank valve
and burner control knobs and start over.
When the excess flow control is
activated, a small amount of gas is still
flowing to the burners. After turning OFF
the tank and burner control knobs, wait at
least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before
attempting to light the barbecue. Failure
to do so may result in an explosive flame-
up which can cause serious bodily injury
or death.
4) Turn the tank on by turning the tank valve
counterclockwise.
WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue. Keep
your face and body at least one foot away from the
matchlight hole when lighting the barbecue.
5) Push Front burner control knob down and turn to
START/ HI.
6) Push the Crossover Ignition Button several times,
so it clicks each time.
7) Check that the burner is lit through the matchlight
hole on the front of the cooking box.
WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the
Front burner control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes
to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light
with a match.
8) After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the
other burners.
Note - Always light the FRONT burner first. The other
burners ignite from the FRONT burner.
To Extinguish
Turn gas supply OFF at the source, then push down
and turn each burner control knob clockwise to OFF.
