Propane Installation Code. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL,

Some of the following are general requirements taken from the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223,1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149,1, Natural Gas and

Propane Installation Code 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.

WEBER ® SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS

Your Webe¢ _ gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section (1) of the burner tubes. This

blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under

the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to

prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the combustion air openings.

We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year. (See Section "Annual Maintenance".) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect screens 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 burners do not ignite.

,,k DANGER

Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and

cause damage to property.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect screens

To inspect the Spider/Insect screens remove the control panel, If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove the burners for cleaning the screens.

Brush the Spider/Inspect screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i,e. an old toothbrush).

,,k CAUTION: Do not clean the Spider/Insect screens with hard

or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the Spider/Insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.

Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the Spider/ Insect screens and burners are clean replace the burners, If the Spider/Insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, please contact the
