Light it and turn it off
Push, turn, press
The manual's lighting steps. Light it with the lid open, and do not lean over the grill.
- Open the lid.
- Check every knob is off: push in and turn clockwise.
- Open the cylinder valve slowly. US: turn the tank valve anticlockwise and wait 60 seconds.
- Start with the burner furthest left: push its knob in and turn it anticlockwise to start/high.
- Push and hold the ignition button: you hear it tick. Look for the flame through the grates, or through the half-circle cut-out in the Flavorizer bar.
- Light the other burners the same way, one at a time, left to right.
It does not light: light it by hand
The manual's test for telling a gas fault from an igniter fault. The match holder is no longer supplied: Weber's 2024 addendum says use a long-reach lighter or a long match.
- Turn every knob off and wait 5 minutes if you have just tried.
- Open the lid.
- Light a long-reach lighter or a long match.
- Hold the flame down through the grates, past the Flavorizer bars, beside the left burner.
- Push in the left knob and turn it slowly to start/high.
- Lights by hand but not with the button: check the igniter. Lights neither way: a gas fault.
Turn it off
The manual.
- Push in each knob and turn it clockwise to off.
- Turn the gas off at the cylinder.
- Let it cool before you cover it.
A grease fire: turn off all the burners and keep the lid closed until it is out (the manual). Then clean the grease tray.
