Manually Lighting 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 region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.

4)Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF. (Push control knob down 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.
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
