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 (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.

The Weber® gas barbecue should be checked for gas 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.”)

Operating

WARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

WARNING:Your Weber® gas barbecue shall not be used under an unprotected combustible roof or overhang.

WARNING:Your Weber® gas barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

WARNING: Do not use the barbecue within 24 inches of combustible materials, top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.

WARNING: The entire cooking box gets hot when in use. Do not leave unattended.

WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surface.

WARNING: 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 pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at the pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

General Instructions

Cooking

WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the FRONT 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 and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to your Weber® cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.

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.

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 five minutes before relighting. Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energyefficient 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 buildup 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.

Thermoset work surfaces are not to be used as cutting boards.
