Crossover Ignition System
WARNING: 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
DANGER
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.
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 manifold assembly. Order from Weber-
Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or
authorized dealer.
1) Open the lid. Figure 1.
2) Check that the fuel scale reads more than “E”.
Note - E = empty; F = full.
3) Make sure all burner control knobs are OFF. (Push
each burner control knob down and turn clockwise.)
4) Turn the tank on by turning the tank valve
counterclockwise.
WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue. Keep
your face and body at least one foot away from the
matchlight hole when lighting the barbecue.
5) Push Front burner control knob down and turn to
START / HI.
6) Push the Crossover Ignition Button several times, so it
clicks each time.
7) Check that the burner is lit through the matchlight hole
on the front of the cooking box.
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.
8) After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the other
burners.
Note - Always light the FRONT burner first. The other
burners ignite from the FRONT burner.
To Extinguish
Turn gas supply OFF at the source, then push down
and turn each burner control knob clockwise to OFF.
