are in place and the grill was properly assembled
according to the assembly instructions.
mWARNING: Do not build this model of grill in any
built-in or slide-in construction.

Warranty
Thank you for purchasing a WEBER product. Weber-
Stephen Products LLC, 1415 S. Roselle Road, Palatine,
Illinois 60067 and its Americas Business units
(“WEBER”) pride ourselves on delivering a safe, durable,
and reliable product.
This is WEBER’s Voluntary Warranty provided to you
at no extra charge. It contains the information you will
need to have your WEBER product repaired or replaced
in the unlikely event of a failure or defect.
Pursuant to applicable laws, the Owner has several
rights in case the product is defective. Those rights
include supplementary performance or replacement,
abatement of the purchasing price, and compensation.
These and other statutory rights remain unaected by
this Warranty provision. In fact, this Warranty grants
additional rights to the Owner that are independent
from statutory Warranty provisions.
WEBER’s Voluntary Warranty
WEBER warrants, to the purchaser of the WEBER
product (or in the case of a gift or promotional situation,
the person for whom it was purchased as a gift or
promotional item) (“Owner”), that the WEBER product
is free from defects in material and workmanship
for ten (10) years, or three (3) years for WEBER
CONNECT components, from the date of purchase
when assembled and operated in accordance with the
accompanying Owner’s Manual, normal wear and tear
excluded. (Note: If you lose or misplace your WEBER
Owner’s Manual, a replacement is available online at
www.weber.com.) WEBER agrees within the framework
of this warranty to repair or replace the part that is
defective in material or workmanship subject to the
limitations, and exclusions listed below. TO THE EXTENT
ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WARRANTY IS
EXTENDED ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND
IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO SUBSEQUENT OWNERS,
EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GIFTS AND PROMOTIONAL
ITEMS AS NOTED ABOVE.
WEBER stands by its products and is happy to provide
you with the Warranty described for material defects in
the grill or its relevant components, normal wear and
tear excepted.
• ‘Normal wear and tear’ includes cosmetic and
other immaterial deterioration that may come with
ownership of your grill over time, such as surface rust,
dents / scratches, etc.
However, WEBER will honor this Warranty for the grill or
its relevant components where damage or dysfunction
results from a material defect.
• ‘Material defect’ includes rust through or burn through
of certain parts, or other damage or failure inhibiting
your ability to safely / properly use your grill.
Owner’s Responsibilities Under this
Warranty / Exclusion of Warranty
To ensure trouble-free Warranty coverage, it is
important (but not required) that you register your
WEBER product online at www.weber.com. Please
also retain your original sales receipt and/or invoice.
Registering your WEBER product confirms your

you may need to make, and provides a direct link

you. If you have not had time to register your grill before
calling for Warranty service, please have the following
information available when you do call:

Color – Primary Issue
The above warranty only applies if the Owner takes
reasonable care of the WEBER product by following
all assembly instructions, usage instructions,
and preventative maintenance as outlined in the
accompanying Owner’s Manual, unless the Owner can
prove that the defect or failure is independent of non-
compliance with the above mentioned obligations. If
you live in a coastal area, or have your product located
near a pool, maintenance includes regular washing
and rinsing of the exterior surfaces as outlined in the
accompanying Owner’s Manual.
This WARRANTY lapses if there are damages,
deteriorations, discolorations, and/or rust for which
WEBER is not responsible caused by:
• Abuse, misuse, alteration, modification, misapplication,
vandalism, neglect, improper assembly or installation,
and failure to properly perform normal and routine
maintenance;
• Insects (such as spiders) and rodents (such as
squirrels), including but not limited to damage to
burners and/or gas hoses;
• Exposure to salt air and/or chlorine sources such as
swimming pools and hot tubs/spas;
• Severe weather conditions such as hail, hurricanes,
earthquakes, tsunamis or surges, tornadoes or severe
storms.
• Acid rain and other environmental factors
The use and/or installation of parts on your WEBER
product that are not genuine WEBER parts will void this
Warranty, and any damages that result hereby are not
covered by this Warranty. Any conversion of a gas grill
not authorized by WEBER and performed by a WEBER
authorized service technician will void this Warranty.

Important Information about
NaturalGas & Gas Connections
What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas (NG) is a combustible, gaseous mixture
of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in
deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock.
It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane.
Natural gas is delivered by your local utility through an
underground pipeline system.
General Specifications
• Three burner grills are designed to operate at 7" of
water column pressure (0.2526 psi).
• Four burner grills are designed to operate at 4.5" of
water column pressure (0.16245 psi).
• The quick-disconnect fitting can be installed
horizontally or pointing downward, but never pointing
upward. Installing it with the open end pointing upward
can result in water and debris collecting in the quick-
disconnect fitting.
• The dust covers (plastic plugs supplied with your grill)
help keep the open ends of the quick-disconnect fitting
clean while disconnected.
Hose Requirements
• The grill is equipped with a model specific hose that
was attached during the manufacturing process. This
specific hose must be used for proper performance.
• If the hose becomes worn or damaged, contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area using
the contact information on our website.
Pressure Testing the Gas Supply
• Disconnect the gas grill when the gas supply is being
tested at high pressures. This appliance and its
individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
• Turn o the gas grill when the gas supply is being
tested at low pressures. This appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shuto valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2psig (3.5 kPa).

Getting Started
Hose Connection &
LeakChecking
Connect the Hose to the GasSupply
A quick-disconnect fitting connects your grill to
the gas supply. Gas will not flow unless the quick-
disconnect is properly engaged.
1) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o
position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise (A).
2) Slide the collar of the quick-disconnect back (B).
3) Push male fitting of the hose into the quick-
disconnect and maintain pressure. Slide the collar
closed (C). If it does not engage or lock, repeat
procedure. Proceed to ”CHECKING FOR GAS
LEAKS”.

Getting Started
What is a Leak Check?
Once the hose is properly connected, 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
hose to the gas supply. The fuel system in your grill
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 gas hose connects to the sorce.
• 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) Turn the gas supply valve on.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the gas source (E). Turn o the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
mDANGER: 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.
mDANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
mDANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a
gas leak present.

Your grill 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 the slide-out grease tray and into a disposable
drip tray that lines the catch pan. This system should be
cleaned each and every time you grill to preventfires.
1. Confirm that the grill is o and cool.
2. Remove the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray
out of the cabinet (A). Remove excess grease with a
plastic scraper.
3. Remove the catch pan (B). Check for excessive
amounts of grease in the disposable drip pan that
lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan
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 grill is o and cool.
2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or
cuts(C). If the hose is found to be damaged in any
way, do not use the grill.
Preheat the Grill
Preheating the grill is critical to successful grilling.
Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the
grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly.
Italso burns o residue of a previously cooked meal.
1. Open the grill lid.
2. Ignite your grill according to the ignition instructions
in this Owner's Manual.
3. Close lid.
4. Preheat the grill with all burners on the start/high
position for 15 minutes(D).
Clean the Cooking Grate
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from
previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grates
will also prevent your next meal from sticking.
1. Brush the grates with a stainless steel bristle grill
brush immediately after preheating (E).

burner control knob in and turn it counterclockwise
to the start/high position (D).
5) Push and hold the electronic ignition button (E).
Youwill hear it ticking.
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the
cooking grates and through the half-circle cutout in
the FLAVORIZER BARS.
7) If the burner does not ignite, turn burner control
knob to the o position and wait five minutes to
allow the gas to clear before attempting to light the
burner again.
8) If the burner ignites, repeat steps 4 through 6 to
light the remaining burners.
Should the burners fail to ignite using the electronic
ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Thereyou will find instructions on igniting the grill
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 o position.

Tips and Hints
INDIRECT HEAT
SETUP
Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or
more of grilling 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 grill, or o to one side of
the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grate.
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, kabobs, 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 flavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking
the food all the way to thecenter.
TIMER
Avoid the disappointment of torching
your dinner by simply setting a timer.
Nothing fancy needed—just one
that is reliable and easy
to use.

Tips and Hints
Optimize
Grill Space
Using the TUCKAWAY
Warming Rack
Use the warming rack up to keep food warm
or fold it down when not in use. To fold the
warming rack down, lift rack slightly and rotate
downward. Use heat-resistant mitts or gloves
when adjusting rack.
Preheat each and every time.
If the cooking grates aren’t hot enough, food will stick,
and you will likely never have a chance of searing
properly or developing those handsome grill marks.
Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always
preheat the grill on the highest setting first. Open the
lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then let the
cooking grate heat up for 15 minutes on high.
Don't grill on dirty grates.
Tossing food onto the cooking grates before they have
been cleaned is never a good idea. Leftover “stu” on
the grates acts like glue, binding it to the grates and
your new food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on
today’s lunch, make sure you are grilling on a clean
cooking grate. Once the grates 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 grilling 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 grates restricts
your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking
grates clear, with plenty of space between each food
item, in order to get your tongs in there and easily
move the food around. Sometimes grilling 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 grill 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 grates
are hotter, the grilling 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 caramelized 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 color and flavor.
In nearly all cases, 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 grill.
Know when to tame the flame.
When grilling, 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, grilling 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 grill to make char-
grilled appetizers, sides, and even desserts. Register
your grill to receive special content that will inspire
you along the way. We’d love to join you on your grilling
adventures.

Product Care
mWARNING: Turn your grill o and wait for it to
cool before thoroughly cleaning.
mWARNING: 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 grates in a sink, dishwasher, or self-
cleaning oven.
mWARNING: When cleaning the burners, never
use a brush that has already been used to
clean the cooking grates. Never put sharp
objects into the burner port holes.
mCAUTION: Do not place any grill components
onto the side tables as they may scratch the
paint or stainless steel surfaces.
mCAUTION: Do not use any of the following
to clean your grill: 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 and Maintenance
Cleaning the Inside of the Grill
Over time, the performance of your grill can
diminish if it has not been maintained properly.
Low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking
to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and
maintenance are overdue. When your grill is o 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 grilling while the
grill is still warm (nothot).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates as
recommended, the debris on your grates should be
minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your
cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill
brush(B).
2) Take the grates 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 grill, 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 raised 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).
2) When cleaning the burners, 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).
A

C
D
E
F

17
Cleaning the Heat Deflectors
Located under the burners, the heat deflectors
distribute heat evenly throughout the cookbox while
cooking. Keeping heat deflectors clean will enhance
the cooking performance of your grill.
1) Scrape the heat deflectors with a plastic
scraper(G).
2) If necessary, brush the heat deflectors with a
stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3) Remove heat deflectors 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 o the sides
and bottom of the grill into the opening in bottom of
the cookbox(H). This opening leads debris into the
slide-out grease tray.
Cleaning the Grease ManagementSystem
The grease management system consists of an
angled slide-out grease tray and a catch pan. These
components were designed to be easily removed,
cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time
you prepare to grill. Instructions on inspecting the
grease management system can be found in MEAL-TO-
MEAL MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning the Outside of theGrill
The outside of your grill 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 grills. 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 Grills that are in
Unique Environments
If your grill 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 grill 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.
GRILLBRUSH
A must-use before you even dream
of grilling. A quick once-over on hot
grates prevents the charred remains
of meals past from sticking to
your meals present.

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 color
coded to correspond with the terminals on the
ignition module. The number of wires will vary per
model.
Checking the Ground Wire
Models 310, 315 and 435 have a ground wire
connected to the manifold bracket. This is visible from
beneath the control panel (D):
1) Check that the ground wire is properly secured with
a screw.

Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burners in your grill 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).
mWARNING: 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.
mWARNING: Failure to use genuine Weber-Stephen parts for any repair or replacement will void all
warranty protection.
mCAUTION: The burner tube openings must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.
Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners(D)
are fitted with stainless steel screens to
prevent spiders and other insects from spinning
webs and building nests inside the burners.
Additionally, dust and debris can accumulate
on the outside of the spider/insect screen and
obstruct the oxygen flow to the burners.

Troubleshooting
ALOSS OF POWER
SYMPTOM
• WEBER CONNECT module and control knobs lights do not turn on.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Wires are disconnected. Check that all of the wires are connected securely
to the terminals on the back of the WEBER
CONNECT module and to the control board inside
the cabinet. Refer to the "WEBER CONNECT Wire
Chart".
Batteries are old. Install new batteries. Refer to “Replacing Batteries
for the WEBER CONNECT Module” on this page.
Alternative external power bank may be depleted. If you are using an optional external power bank,
sold seperately, disconnect it from the control
board and check the manufacturer's operating
guide for information on recharching. Refer to
"Connecting an External Power Bank".
Replacing Batteries for the WEBER CONNECT Module
Use alkaline batteries only. Do not mix old and new batteries or dierent types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable). If you do not plan to use the grill for a month or more, remove the batteries.
1) Locate the battery housing on the inside of the cabinet on the bottom right side.
2) Press the tabs on the battery door to open (A).
3) Replace six D batteries (B).
WEBER CONNECT IS EXPERIENCING CONNECTIVITY ISSUES
SYMPTOM
• Bluetooth® is having trouble maintaining connectivity or pairing with a smart
device.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Bluetooth® is a short range signal only. When the WEBER CONNECT module is on, it is ready
to pair. Make sure that Bluetooth® on the smart
device is turned on and that the device is near the
grill.
Bluetooth® has already paired to another smart device. If the Bluetooth® indicator light is on but is not
flashing, it means that it is already paired to a smart
device. Turn o Bluetooth® on any smart device that
you do not wish to have paired to the grill.
SYMPTOM
• Wi-Fi is having trouble maintaining connectivity with a Wi-Fi network.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Grill is out of range of the Wi-Fi network signal. In order to successfully connect your smart device
to your local Wi-Fi network, your grill must be
within range of your Wi-Fi router. If your attempts to
connect have been unsuccessful, try moving the grill
within range of the Wi-Fi router or adding a signal
extender for a stronger signal.
ERROR CODE APPEARS ON DISPLAY
SYMPTOM
• During start-up or barbecuing, an error code appears on the digital display.
CAUSE SOLUTION
The WEBER CONNECT module is a device that is
sensitive to certain external factors. Variations in
power supply or radio frequency may aect operation.
