IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES:
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is equipped with a new and improved LP tank connection, that has additional safety features. They are:
1.The connection of the barbecue to the LP tank can be made without the use of tools.
2.The new connection will not permit the flow of gas until a positive gas connection is made.
3.If an accidental fire occurs at the LP tank connection, the flow of gas is stopped by a temperature activated shutoff.
4.If the LP supply hose becomes damaged, cut, punctured, or accidentally fire damaged, the barbecue connection is equipped with an excess flow control that will limit the flow of gas if leakage or a fire occurs.

General Instructions
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber Gas Barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer Bars produce that "outdoor" flavor in the food.
The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber Gas Barbecue with you if you move.
Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.
■These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your Weber Gas Barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.
■Not for use by children.
■If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to them. If there are no local codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1.
■The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber Gas Barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).
■This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. Do not use with natural (piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and regulator are for LP gas only.
■Do not use with charcoal fuel.
■Check that the area under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
■The area around the LP tank must be free and clear from debris.
For Installation in Canada
These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian Installation codes, particularly with piping above and below ground. In Canada the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or Standard CAN/CGA-B149.2 (Installation Code for Propane Burning Appliances and Equipment).
Storage
■The gas must be turned OFF at the LP tank when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.
■When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply must be disconnected and the LP tank stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
■LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. Disconnected LP tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
■When the LP tank is not disconnected from the Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP tank must be kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
Operating area
WARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
■Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an unprotected combustible roof or overhang.
■Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
■Do not use combustible materials within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.
■The entire cooking box gets hot when in use. Do not leave unattended.
■Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surface.
