You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high).
Page 28: Lp Tank Information
Refilling the LP tank We recommend that you refill before the scale indicator reaches "E". Note - If you run out of fuel, check the indicator setting and/or adjust the fuel scale indicator setting with the scale setting wing nut, while the tank is empty so you do not run out again.

General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards 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 of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter.
Page 33 d) Unlatch the Spider Stopper Guards and remove. Figure 16. Figure 16 e) Remove the manifold bracket and unscrew the two thumb screws that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down.
