Lighting the Smoker Burner

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS	25

DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the grill, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

SMOKER BURNER SNAP IGNITION

Note: The control knob snap igniter creates a spark from the igniter electrode to the burner lighting tube. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing in the control knob and turning to “START/HI”. This will ignite the smoker burner.

WARNING: Check hose before each use of grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Weber® authorized replacement hose. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

1)Open the grill lid.

2)Open smoker box lid.

3)Fill smoker with water soaked wood chunks or chips.

4)Make sure that all burner control knobs not being used are turned to “OFF”. (Push control knob in and turn clockwise to ensure that it is in the “OFF” position).

WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the “OFF” position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder tank valve. If they are not in the “OFF” position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the "excess gas flow control" feature will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and burner control knobs. Then start over.

*The grill illustrated may have slight differences than the model purchased.

DANGER

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 grill. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

5)Turn the cylinder on by turning the cylinder valve counter-clockwise.

DANGER

If the smoker burner still does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again, or try lighting with a match (see “Manually Lighting the Smoker Burner”).

8)Close smoker cover after wood starts to smolder and turn control knob to “LOW”.

WARNING: Do not lean over the open grill while lighting.

6)Push the control knob in and turn to “START/HI” until you hear the igniter snap - continue to hold control knob in for two seconds. This action will spark the igniter, the burner lighting tube and then main burner.

7)Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates. You should see a flame. If burner does not light on first try, push control knob in and turn to OFF. Repeat lighting procedure a second time

TO EXTINGUISH

Push in and turn each burner control knob clockwise to “OFF” position. Turn gas supply off at the source.
