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.
Manual Lighting 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.
You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high).
Refilling the LP tank We recommend that you refill before the scale indicator reaches "E". Note - If you run out of fuel, check the indicator setting and/or adjust the fuel scale indicator setting with the scale setting wing nut, while the tank is empty so you do not run out again.

Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s) The LP tank and connections supplied with your Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association and Underwriters Laboratories requirements. Replacement LP tanks supplied by Weber satisfy the requirements.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water. Figure 8 Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber Spider Stopper Guards To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their outside surfaces.
General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter.
