DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners, 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 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 hose. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.

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

1)Open the lid.

2)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 I still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder 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.

3)Turn the cylinder on by turning the cylinder valve counterclockwise.

WARNING: Do not lean over the open barbecue. Keep your face and body at least one foot away from the matchlight hole when lighting the barbecue.

4)Push Front burner control knob down and turn to START/HI.

5)Push the Crossover® ignition button several times, so it clicks each time.

6)Check that the burner is lit by looking through the matchlight hole on the front of the cooking box. You should see a flame.

WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the Front burner control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.

7)After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the other burner or burners.

Note - Always light the FRONT burner first. The other burner or burners ignite from the FRONT burner.

To Extinguish

Push down and turn each burner control knob clockwise to the OFF position. Turn gas supply OFF at the source.
