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.
The natural 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.
■ This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for natural
(piped in city) gas only. Do not use Liquid Propane
(LP) bottled gas.The valves, orifices and hose are for
natural 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.
For Installation in Canada

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-B149.1 (Installation
Code for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment).
Storage
■ The gas must be turned OFF at the natural gas supply
when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.
■ When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the
gas supply must be disconnected.
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.
■ Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and
liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and
combustible materials.
Gas supply testing
■ Disconnect your Weber Gas Barbecue when the gas
supply is being tested at high pressures. This
appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
■ Turn off your Weber Gas Barbecue when the gas
supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any

General Specifications for Piping
Note - Contact your local municipality for building
codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations.
In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the
latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE RECOMMEND THAT
THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.
Some of the following are general requirements taken
from ANSI Z223.1, for gas supply installations. Refer to
ANSI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifications.
■ This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of
water column pressure (.2526 psi).
■ A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,
immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.
■ An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be
installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible
location near the supply line.
■ The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT
thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect
fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically
shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the
barbecue is disconnected.
■ The quick disconnect fitting can be installed
horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting
with the open end pointing upward can result in
collecting water and debris.
■ The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the
open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while
disconnected.
■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to
the action of natural gas when connections are made.
■ The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to
rigid, permanent construction.
WARNING: Do not route the 12’ hose under a deck.
The hose must be visible.
Typical natural gas supply installation. Figure 14.

Cooking
WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue
when operating or hot.
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).
Then to complete cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT
at medium, CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your
Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
Note: The temperatures inside your cooking box, for the
first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may
be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking
conditions may require the adjustment of the burner
controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.
CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all
burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Preheating - Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy
efficient appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for
economy. To preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all
burners to high (HHH). Preheating to between 500° and
550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes
depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer Bars are designed
to "smoke" the right amount of drippings for flavorful
cooking. Excess drippings and grease accumulate in the
catch pan under the bottom tray. Disposable foil liners are
available that fit the catch pan.
WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease buildup before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a
grease fire in the bottom tray.
Periodic Cleaning
WARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and
wait for it to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.

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 . Figure 6. This could result in a
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel,
causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.
(See Section “Replacing the main burners”.)
Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Figure 9.
The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits
tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube
and the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other
insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter
openings. Figure 7.
We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider
Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See section
“Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the
Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following
symptoms should ever occur.
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames
appearing yellow and lazy.
2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3. Barbecue heats unevenly.
4. One or more of the b urners do not ignite.
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened
out coat hanger will work). Figure 10. Check and clean the
air shutter opening at the ends of the burners. Check and
clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves. Use a
brass bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to
make sure all the burner ports are fully open.
CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports
when cleaning.
Replacing Main Burners
a) Your Weber Gas Barbecue must be OFF and cool.
b) Turn gas OFF at source.
c) Remove control panel: take off the burner control
knobs. Remove the screws holding the control panel
in place. Lift off the control panel.

Problem
Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in
conjunction with the smell of gas.
Burner does not light, or flame is low
in HIGH position.
Experiencing flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray
with aluminum foil.
Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is low
when burner is on HIGH. Flames do not run
the whole length of the burner tube.
Inside of lid appears to be “peeling.”
(Resembles paint peeling.)
Check
Inspect Weber Spider Stopper
Guards for possible obstructions.
