Lighting

Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel.

DANGER

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.

Crossover Ignition System

Note - The Crossover Ignition System ignites the Front burner with a spark from the igniter electrode inside the Gas Catcher Ignition Chamber. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the Crossover Ignition button until it clicks.

WARNING: Check gas supply line before each use of barbecue for nicks or cracking. If the gas supply line is found to be unserviceable, do not use barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized replacement gas supply line. Order from Weber- Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or authorized dealer.
