Troubleshooting - Weber E/EP - 210/310 Owner's Manual

When the "excess gas flow control" feature is activated,
a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After
turning OFF the cylinder 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.
3) Turn the cylinder on by turning the cylinder valve counterclockwise.
4) Insert match holder with lit match into the matchlight hole in the front of the
cooking box.
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 BURNER 1 control knob down and turn to START/HI.
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the matchlight hole on the front of
the cooking box. You should see a flame.
WARNING: If the burner does not light in five seconds, turn
the Burner 1 control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes to let
the gas clear before you try again.
7) After BURNER 1 is lit you can turn on BURNER 2 (and BURNER 3).
Note - Always light BURNER 1 first. The other burners ignite from BURNER 1.
TO EXTINGUISH
Push down and turn each burner control knob clockwise to the OFF position. Turn gas
supply OFF at the source.

Are you preheating barbecue in the prescribed manner?
