PROTECT
YOUR
INVESTMENT
Shield your grill from the
elements with a heavy-duty
premiumgrillcover.
Thank you for purchasing a WEBER product. Weber-Stephen
Products LLC, 1415 S. Roselle Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067
(“WEBER”) prides itself 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 in the unlikely event of a failure or
defect.
Pursuant to applicable laws, the customer has several
rights in case the product is defective. Those rights include
supplementary performance or replacement, abatement of
the purchasing price, and compensation. In the European
Union, for example, this would be a two-year statutory
warranty starting on the date of the handover of the product.
These and other statutory rights remain unaffected 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),
that the WEBER product is free from defects in material and
workmanship for the period(s) of time specified below when
assembled and operated in accordance with the accompanying
Owner’s Manual. (Note: If you lose or misplace your WEBER
Owner’s Manual, a replacement is available online at
www.weber.com, or such country-specific website to which
Owner may be redirected.) Under normal, private single family
home or apartment use and maintenance, WEBER agrees
within the framework of this warranty to repair or replace
defective parts within the applicable time periods, 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.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS WARRANTY
To ensure trouble-free warranty coverage, it is important (but
it is not required) that you register your WEBER product online
at www.weber.com, or such country-specific website to which
Owner may be redirected. Please also retain your original
sales receipt and/or invoice. Registering your WEBER product
confirms your warranty coverage and provides a direct link
between you and WEBER in case we need to contact you.
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.
WARRANTY HANDLING / EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY
If you believe that you have a part which is covered by this
Warranty, please contact WEBER Customer Service using the
contact information on our website (www.weber.com, or such
country-specific website to which Owner may be redirected).
WEBER will, upon investigation, repair or replace (at its option)
a defective part that is covered by this Warranty. In the event
that repair or replacement are not possible, WEBER may
choose (at its option) to replace the grill in question with a new
grill of equal or greater value. WEBER may ask you to return
parts for inspection, shipping charges to be pre-paid.
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 burner tubes 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.
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
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.
D
E
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 gas supply.
• 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 supply (E). Turn o the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.

b) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (F), re-tighten fitting with a wrench
and recheck for leaks with soap and water
solution. If leak persists, turn o the gas. DONOT
OPERATE THE GRILL.
c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (G), turn o the gas. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GRILL.
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.
Turn gas supply valve o 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.
Disconnect the Hose from the GasSupply
1) Slide the collar back and pull out the plug.
Thisautomatically shuts o the gas.

Operation
The Very First Time You Grill
Perform an Initial Burn-Off
Heat the grill on the highest setting, with the lid closed,
for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling for the firsttime.
Every Time You Grill
Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the
following simple, yet important, steps that should
always be performed prior to grilling.
Check for Grease
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. Open the doors.
3. Access the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray
towards you until it stops (A). Remove excess grease
with a plastic scraper. Scrape the grease down
through the openning in the grease tray, into the
catch pan below.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Check the Power Cord
Routine inspection of the power cord is necessary.
1. Confirm that the grill is o and cool.
2. Check the power cord for any signs of cuts or
damage. If the power cord is found to be damaged in
any way, do not use the grill.
3. Plug the short power cord into the port beneath
the side table, then to the extension cord (D) before
plugging it into a grounded electrical outlet.
4. Turn on the main power switch (E).
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(F).
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 (G).
mDANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray
or cookbox with aluminum foil.
mDANGER: Check the slide-out grease tray and
catch pan for grease build-up before each use.
Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
mWARNING: Use caution when removing catch
pan and disposing of hot grease.
mWARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts
or gloves when operating grill.
mWARNING: 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.
mWARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged
in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using
only WEBER authorized replacement hose.
mWARNING: Keep ventilation openings around
tank clear and free of debris.
mWARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord
and the fuel supply cord away from heated
surfaces.
