GS4 GRILLING SYSTEM

The GS4 Grilling System sets a new standard in the world of backyard cuisine. This innovative barbecuing system is based on over 30 years of barbecuing experience, culinary expertise, and most importantly, avidly considering the wants and needs of the people who matter most – the barbecuing community.

Each component of GS4 was uniquely designed for ease-of-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard barbecuing experience. Promising burners that are ensured to ignite every time, smoke infused food that barbecues evenly and consistently regardless of where it's placed on the cooking grill, and hassle free cleanup; you are able to focus on what it is all about – bringing people together around the barbecue.

The GS4 Grilling System is composed of four key components: The INFINITY Crossover Ignition, Burners, FLAVORIZER Bars, and Grease Management System. These components ensure that every aspect of your barbecuing experience is easy and reliable; from the moment the burners are lit to the general maintenance of your barbecue. And together, create a strong barbecuing engine within every Spirit II barbecue.

1. INFINITY Crossover Ignition
   The INFINITY Crossover Ignition is ensured to ignite every time. Backed by a generous warranty, you can rest assured that you'll be up-and-barbecuing the first time, every time.
2. Burners
   The heavy duty, stainless steel burners were built to last and provide even heat distribution to your cooking grills.
3. FLAVORIZER Bars
   The classic Weber FLAVORIZER bars are angled just right to catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding that irresistible smoky flavour we all know and love to your food. Any drippings not vapourised follow the slope and are funneled away from the burners, down into the grease management system.
4. Grease Management System
   The grease management system helps with the removal of grease while reducing the risk of flare-ups. Drippings that are not vaporized by the FLAVORIZER bars are funneled away from the burners into the disposable drip tray, located within the catch pan under the cookbox. Simply remove the catch pan and replace the drip tray as needed.

Tips and Hints

The Flame-Direct or Indirect

DIRECT HEAT SETUP

Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, such as: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kebab sticks, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and sliced vegetables.

With direct heat, the fire is right below the food. It sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavours, texture, and delicious caramelisation while cooking the food all the way to the centre.

INDIRECT HEAT SETUP

Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of barbecuing time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish fillets, whole chickens, turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned first over direct heat.

With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the barbecue, or off to one side of the barbecue. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grill.

Barbecuing Do's and Don'ts

Preheat each and every time.
If the cooking grills aren't hot enough, food will stick, and you will likely never have a chance of searing properly or developing those handsome grill marks. When a recipe calls for medium or high heat, always preheat the barbecue on the highest setting first. Open the lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the cooking grills heat up for about ten minutes or until the lid thermometer reads 260°C (500°F). For low and slow cooking, there is no need to preheat on high. Ensure your cooking grills are clean and preheat as per the instructions in your barbecue's handbook.

Don't barbecue on dirty grills.
Tossing food onto the cooking grills before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover "stuff" on the grills acts like glue, binding it to the grills and your new food. To avoid tasting last night's dinner on today's lunch, make sure that you are barbecuing on a clean cooking grill. Once the grills are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to make a clean, smooth surface.

Be present in the process.
Before firing up your grill, make sure that everything you need is within arm's reach. Don't forget your essential barbecuing tools, already oiled and seasoned food, glazes or sauces, and clean cooking platters for cooked food. Having to run back to your kitchen not only means missing out on the fun, but could also result in burning your food. French chefs call this "mise en place" (meaning, "put in place"). We call it "being present".

Create a little elbow room.
Packing too much food onto the cooking grills restricts your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grills clear, with plenty of space between each food item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes barbecuing involves split-second decisions and the ability to jockey food from one area to another. So give yourself enough room to operate.

Try not to peek.
The lid on your barbecue is for more than just keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it's for preventing too much air from getting in, and too much heat and smoke from getting out. When the lid is closed, the cooking grills are hotter, the barbecuing times are faster, the smoky tastes are stronger, and the flare-ups are fewer. So put a lid on it!

Only flip once.
What's better than a juicy steak with a deep sear and plenty of beautifully caramelised bits? The key to accomplishing these results is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we have the tendency to flip our food before it reaches the desirable level of colour and flavour. In nearly all cases when using the direct method, you should turn food just once. If fiddling with it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too much, which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the barbecue.

Know when to tame the flame.
When barbecuing, sometimes the most important thing to know is when to stop. The most reliable way to test doneness of your food is to invest in an instant-read thermometer. This slim little gem will help you pinpoint that critical moment when your food is at its best.

Don't be afraid to experiment.
Back in the 1950s, barbecuing meant one thing: meat (and only meat) charred over open flames. The modern day backyard chef doesn't need a kitchen in order to prepare a full course meal. Use your barbecue to make char-grilled entrées, sides, and even desserts. Register your barbecue to receive special content that will inspire you along the way. We'd love to join you on your barbecuing adventures.

Important Information about LPG & Gas Connections

What is LPG?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your barbecue. It is a gas at moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such as a cylinder, LPG is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporises and becomes gas.

Safe Handling Tips for Cylinders

• A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your supplier. Do not use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
• Although your cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
• The cylinder must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright, secure position. Cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the cylinder where temperatures can reach 51.7°C (125°F) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). Use caution in freezing conditions as well.
• Routinely check the cylinder to ensure the test date has not expired. Do not use a cylinder which has an expired test date.

Cylinder Requirements

• Use cylinders with a minimum capacity of 8.5 kg.

What is a Regulator?
Your gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the cylinder.

General Specifications

• Refer to data plate on barbecue for gas type, consumption, pressures and injector sizing details.
• Gas inlet connection - 3/8" SAE Flare with 5/8" UNF thread.

Regulator and Hose Requirements

• The pressure regulator supplied with the barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 2,75 kPa and complies with the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.

We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your gas barbecue every five years. Some countries may have requirements that the gas hose be replaced within less than five years, in which case that country's requirement would take precedence. For replacement hose, regulator, and valve assemblies, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log on to weber.com.

LPG Cylinder Installation & Leak Checking

Installation Location
The LPG cylinder is hung onto the cylinder scale which is located outside the cabinet base under the right side table. The LPG cylinder will hang on the cylinder scale from the collar assembly (the metal protective ring around the cylinder valve) with the valve opening facing the back of the barbecue (A).

Inspect the Tank

1. Confirm that the LPG cylinder valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
2. Confirm that the LPG cylinder valve is the proper mating type for the regulator (B).
3. Inspect the LPG cylinder valve for damage or debris. If damaged, return LPG cylinder to local retailer.

Install The Tank

1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.
2. Lift LPG cylinder into position on the cylinder scale.
3. Connect the regulator to the LPG cylinder by screwing the POL coupling into the LPG cylinder valve, turning anti-clockwise (C). Hand-tighten only. Position the regulator so that the vent hole faces down. Proceed to "CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS."
   

What is a Leak Check?
Once the LPG cylinder is properly installed, it is necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the LPG cylinder. The fuel system in your barbecue features factory-made connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-tested. Weber recommends performing a thorough leak check after assembly, as well as annually. The following fittings should be tested:

• Where the regulator connects to the LPG cylinder.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
• Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1. Wet fittings (D) with a soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. 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.
2. Slowly open gas supply by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise while checking for bubbles.
3. If bubbles appear there is a leak:
   1. If the leak is at the cylinder (E), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Disconnect the LPG cylinder and return the LPG cylinder to your local retailer.
   2. If the leak is at the regulator (F), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
   3. If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration (G), re-tighten fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If leak persists, turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
   4. If the leak is at any fittings indicated in illustration (H), turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
      If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website.
4. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
   1. Turn gas supply off at the LPG cylinder and rinse connections with water.
      

NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

Refilling or Replacing an LPG Cylinder

How Much Fuel is in the LPG Cylinder?
The cylinder scale indicates the amount of fuel in an LPG cylinder once the cylinder is hung from the scale. The fuel level is checked by viewing the red level indicator line, located on scale. When the indicator line is at the top, the LPG cylinder is full (I). When it is at the bottom, the LPG cylinder is empty (J) and needs to be removed to replace or refill.

Removal of the LPG Cylinder

1. Confirm that the cylinder valve is fully closed. Close by turning valve clockwise (K).
2. Unscrew regulator by turning POL coupling clockwise by hand (L).
3. Lift LPG cylinder off cylinder scale.

Additional Leak Check Precautions
The following fittings should be tested for gas leaks each time an LPG cylinder is refilled and reinstalled:

• Where the regulator connects to the LPG cylinder (E) and at the regulator (F).

Follow the instructions for "Checking for Gas Leaks".

Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks.

Leaking gas may cause a fire or explosion.

Do not operate the barbecue if there is a gas leak present.

If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder:

1. Move away from cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call the emergency fire services.

Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly or any gas fitting while this barbecue is in operation.

Do not store a spare cylinder under or near this barbecue. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

Operation

The Very First Time You Barbecue

Perform an Initial Burn-Off
Heat the barbecue on the highest setting, with the lid closed, for at least 20 minutes prior to barbecuing for the first time.

Every Time You Barbecue

Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the following simple, yet important, steps that should always be performed prior to barbecuing.

Check for Grease
Your barbecue was built with a grease management system that funnels grease away from food and into a disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled down to the slide-out catch pan and into a disposable drip tray that lines the slide-out catch pan. This system should be cleaned each and every time you barbecue to prevent fires.

1. Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.
2. Remove the slide-out catch pan by pulling it forward (A).
3. Check for excessive amounts of grease in the disposable drip tray that lines the slide-out catch pan. Discard disposable drip tray when necessary and replace with a new one.
4. Reinstall all components.

Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

1. Confirm that the barbecue is off and cool.
2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or cuts (B). If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue.

Preheat the Barbecue
Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the grills and gets the grills hot enough to sear properly. It also burns off residue of a previously cooked meal.

1. Open the barbecue lid.
2. Ignite your barbecue according to the ignition instructions in this Owner's Manual.
3. Close lid.
4. When a recipe calls for medium or high heat, preheat the barbecue with all burners on the start/high position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer registers 500°F (260°C) (C). For low and slow cooking, there is no need to preheat on high. Ensure your cooking grills are clean and preheat as per the instructions in your barbecue's handbook.

Clean the Cooking Grill
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grills will also prevent your next meal from sticking.

1. Brush the grills with a stainless steel bristle grill brush immediately after preheating (D).
   

Do not line the slide-out catch pan or cookbox with aluminium foil.

Check the slide-out catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.

Use caution when removing slideout catch pan and disposing of hot grease.

Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.

Grill brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush. Weber recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.

If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized replacement hose.

Keep ventilation openings around cylinder clear and free of debris.

Igniting the Barbecue

Using the Crossover Ignition System to Ignite the Barbecue
The crossover ignition system ignites burner 1 furthest to the left with a spark from the igniter electrode. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the igniter button. You will hear the igniter clicking. Burner(s) 2 (and 3) can be lit after burner 1 is lit. All burners should be lit for preheating, however, all burners do not have to be lit while barbecuing.

1. Open the barbecue lid (A).
2. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise (B).
   Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in the off position before turning on the cylinder.
3. Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise (C).
4. Begin with burner 1 furthest to the left. Push the burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the start/high position (D).
   
   Always ignite burner 1 first. The other burner(s) ignite from burner 1.
5. Push and hold the electronic ignition button (E). You will hear it ticking.
6. Check that burner 1 is lit by looking through the cooking grills and through the cutout in the FLAVORIZER BARS.
7. If the burner does not ignite, turn burner control knob to the off position and wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the burner again.
8. When burner 1 ignites, you can turn on burner 2 (and burner 3).

Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section. There you will find instructions on igniting the barbecue with a match to help determine the exact problem.

To Extinguish Burners

1. Push each burner control knob in and then turn clockwise all the way to the off position.
2. Turn gas supply off at the cylinder.
   

Open lid during ignition.

Do not lean over open barbecue while igniting or cooking.

If ignition does not occur within four seconds of attempting to light the first burner, turn the burner control knob to the off position. Wait five minutes to allow accumulated gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.

Product Care

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Inside of the Barbecue
Over time, the performance of your barbecue can diminish if it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grills are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your barbecue is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly cleanings.

Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice "paint-like" flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and looks very similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.

1. Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A). To minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after barbecuing while the barbecue is still warm (not hot).

Cleaning the Cooking Grills
If you have been cleaning your cooking grills as recommended, the debris on your grills should be minimal.

1. With grills installed, brush the debris off your cooking grill with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (B).
2. Take the grills out and set aside.

Cleaning the FLAVORIZER BARS
FLAVORIZER BARS catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding flavor to your food. Any drippings that are not vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away from the burners. This helps prevent flare-ups inside of your barbecue, and protects the burners from getting clogged.

1. Scrape the FLAVORIZER BARS with a plastic scraper (C).
2. If necessary, brush the FLAVORIZER BARS with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3. Remove FLAVORIZER BARS and set aside.

Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum performance are the ports (small openings running along the length of the burners) and the spider/insect screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is essential for safe operation.

Cleaning the Burner Ports

1. Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the burner ports (D). Do not brush lengthwise.along the tube, as this will only brush debris from one port to another.
2. When cleaning burner 1, avoid damaging the ignition electrode by carefully brushing around it (E).

Cleaning the Spider Screens

1. Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the control panel where they meet the valves.
2. Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners using a soft bristle brush (F).

Turn your barbecue off and wait for it to cool before thoroughly cleaning.

Over time, the development of rough surfaces can form on the FLAVORIZER BARS. Wearing gloves is recommended when handling. Do not clean FLAVORIZER BARS or cooking grills in a sink, dishwasher, or selfcleaning oven.

When cleaning the burners, never use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grills. Never put sharp objects into the burner port holes.

Do not place any barbecue components onto the side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless steel surfaces.

Do not use any of the following to clean your barbecue: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), or abrasive cleaning pads.

Cleaning the Heat Deflector
Located under the burners, the heat deflector distributes heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking. Keeping the heat deflector clean will enhance the cooking performance of your barbecue.

1. Scrape the heat deflector with a plastic scraper (G).
2. If necessary, brush the heat deflector with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3. Remove heat deflector and set aside.

Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause a fire.

1. Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides and bottom of the barbecue into the opening in bottom of the cookbox (H). This opening leads debris into the slide-out catch pan.
   

Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of a slide-out catch pan and disposable drip tray. These components were designed to be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time you prepare to barbecue. Instructions on inspecting the grease management system can be found in MEAL-TO-MEAL MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning the Outside of the Barbecue
The outside of your barbecue may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. Weber recommends the following methods based on the surface type.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and barbecues. Use a microfiber cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Do not use paper towels.

Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.

Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm soapy water, and paper towels or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the Outside of Barbecues that are in Unique Environments
If your barbecue is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your barbecue with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.

1. Open the barbecue lid.
2. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs clockwise.
   Note: It is important that all burner control knobs be in the off position before you turn on the cylinder.
3. Turn gas supply on by turning cylinder valve anti-clockwise.
4. Begin with burner 1, furthest to the left. Put match in the matchstick holder and strike match. (Matchstick holder is located under left side table.) Insert lit match down through the cooking grills, past the FLAVORIZER BARS and next to the burner (A).
5. Push the burner control knob in and turn it anti-clockwise to the start/high position.
6. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grills and through the cutout in the FLAVORIZER BARS.
7. If the burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn burner control knob to the off position and wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the burner again. If repeated attempts fail, follow the gas flow troubleshooting instructions on the next page.
8. If the burner ignites, the problem lies in the ignition system. Follow the instructions for "Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System."
9. After burner 1 ignites, you can turn on burner 2 (and burner 3).
10. Replace the matchstick holder by hanging underneath left side table (B).

Checking the Components of the Electronic Ignition System
When pressing the ignition button you should hear a ticking sound. If you cannot hear the ticking sound, check the battery, then check the wires.

Checking the Battery
There are three potential issues with the battery that supplies the power to your ignition module that need to be checked:

1. Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap around them. (Do not confuse this plastic with the battery label.) Check that this plastic wrap is removed.
2. Confirm that the battery is installed correctly (C).
3. If the battery is old, replace it with a new battery.

Checking the Wires
There are two potential trouble spots that need to be checked:

1. Check that the ignition wires are connected securely to the terminals on the ignition button under the control panel.
2. Make sure the ignition wires are properly attached to the ignition module. The wire terminals are colour coded to correspond with the terminals on the ignition module. The number of wires will vary per model.

Igniter Module Wire Chart

GAS FLOW

SYMPTOM
Barbecue does not reach desired temperature or heats unevenly. One or more of the burners fail to ignite. Flame is low when burner is on high position. Flames do not run the whole length of the burner. Burner flame pattern is erratic.
CAUSE	SOLUTION
The cylinder is low or empty.	Refill cylinder.
Fuel hose is bent or kinked.	Straighten fuel hose.
Burner ports are dirty.	Clean burner ports. Refer to "Cleaning the Burner Ports."

---

SYMPTOM
Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy.
CAUSE	SOLUTION
Spider screens on the burners are obstructed.	Clean spider screens. Refer to "Cleaning the Spider Screens" in the Product Care section. Also refer to the illustrations and information in this section about proper flame pattern and spider screens.

---

SYMPTOM
The smell of gas and/or a light hissing sound.
CAUSE	SOLUTION
The internal rubber seal in the cylinder valve could be damaged.	Inspect the rubber seal for damage. If damaged, return cylinder to local retailer.

GREASY BARBECUE (Peeling Paint & Flare-Ups)

SYMPTOM
Inside of lid appears to have the appearance of peeling paint.
CAUSE	SOLUTION
The flakes you see are accumulated cooking vapours that have turned into carbon.	This happens over time after repeated use of your barbecue. This is not a defect. Clean the lid. Refer to the "Product Care" section.

---

SYMPTOM
Experiencing flare-ups when barbecuing or preheating.
CAUSE	SOLUTION
There is leftover food from the previous meal.	Preheat the barbecue on the highest setting for 10 to 15 minutes.
The inside of the barbecue needs to be cleaned thoroughly.	Follow the steps in the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section to clean the barbecue inside from the top down.

Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burners in your barbecue were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burners are performing correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern. The tips may occasionally flicker yellow (A), with a descending light blue (B) to dark blue flame (C).

Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow, resulting in a fire (D) in and around the gas valves, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners (E) are fitted with stainless steel screens to prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the burners. Dust and debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the burners.

Do not attempt to make any repair to gas carrying, gas burning, ignition components or structural components without contacting Weber-Stephen Products LLC, Customer Service Department.

Failure to use genuine Weber-Stephen parts for any repair or replacement will void all warranty protection.

The burner tube openings must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.

CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE
If you are still experiencing any problems, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on weber.com.
