Failure to follow the Dangers, Warnings and Cautions contained in this Owner’s Manual may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

 WARNINGS

 Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near this barbecue.  Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please carefully follow the assembly instructions in

this manual.  After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the Weber Gas Barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and burner obstructions before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.

 Do not operate the Weber gas barbecue if there is a gas leak present.  Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.  Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of

your Weber gas barbecue.  Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue.  Your Weber Gas Barbecue should never be used by children. Accessible parts of the barbecue may be very hot. Keep young children away while it is in use.  You should exercise reasonable care when operating your Weber gas barbecue. It will be hot during cooking or cleaning and should never be left unattended, or moved while in operation.  Should the burners go out while in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight, using the lighting instructions.

 Do not use charcoal or lava rock in your Weber gas barbecue.  Never lean over open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of the cooking box.  Should a grease fire occur, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.  Do not enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.  The Weber Gas Barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.  Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a

liquid propane unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.

 Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.  Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.

LIQUID PROPANE GAS UNITS ONLY:

 Use the regulator that is supplied with your Weber Gas Barbecue.  Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in

operation.  A dented or rusty liquid propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.  Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.  If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the liquid propane cylinder:

1. Move away from liquid propane cylinder.

2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.

3. Call your fire department.

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, 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 areas around the LP cylinder must be free

and clear from debris.

Storage

• The gas must be turned OFF at the LP cylinder

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 cylinder stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

• LP cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-

ventilated area out of the reach of children. Disconnected LP cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

• When the LP cylinder is not disconnected from the

Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP cylinder must be kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
