Lighting

Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel.

mDANGER

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

mWARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized replacement manifold assembly. Order from Weber- Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or authorized dealer.

mWARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the

OFF position before turning on the LP tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP tank valve, the excess flow control will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank. If this should occur, turn OFF the LP tank valve and burner control knobs and start over.

mDANGER

When the excess flow control is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the tank and burner control knobs, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
