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/NFPA54.
• 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
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 Standards CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code.
Storage
■ The gas must be turned OFF at the natural gas
supply when the Weber® gas barbecue is not in use.
■ When the Weber
the gas supply must be disconnected.
■ The Weber
leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before
using. (See Sections: “General Maintenance and
Annual Maintenance.”)
■ Check that the areas under the control panel and the
slide out bottom tray are free from debris that might
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
■ The Spider /Insect Screens should also be checked
for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual
Maintenance.”)

• Turn OFF your Weber® gas barbecue when the gas
supply is being tested at low pressures. This

General Instructions
Grilling Methods
NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual.
WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue
when operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the Left and Right burners in each burner
set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium
(M), Low (L), or Off (O).
Note: The temperature 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. Such as wind and weather, may require the
adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct
cooking temperatures.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all
burners and wait five minutes before relighting.
Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-
efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low BTU
rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn all burners
to high (HH). 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 correct amount of drippings for
flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will
accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom
tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch
pan.
WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-
up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid
a grease fire in the slide out bottom tray.
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.
For availability of replacement cooking grates and
Flavorizer® bars contact the
Customer Service Representative in your region using
the contact information sheet
provided with your manual.
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to
clean, then rinse with water.
CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain
citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
barbecue or cart surfaces.
Slide out Bottom tray - Remove excess grease, then
wash with warm soapy water, then rinse
Flavorizer® bars and Cooking grates - Clean with a
suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill
and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with water.
Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you can
line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch
pan, wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.
Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water; clean with
plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or submerge in
water.
Inside cooking module - Brush any debris off of burner
tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS
(OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm
soapy water and a water rinse.
Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel
to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up grease
resembles paint flakes.
Stainless steel surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a
soap and water solution. Be careful to scrub with the grain
direction of the stainless steel.
Thermoset surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap
and water solution.
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits
or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

boards.
