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.

Barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully
before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Improper

(piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and

• 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.
• Refer to data plate on barbecue for gas type,
consumption, pressures and injector sizing details.
Storage
• The gas must be turned OFF at the LP cylinder when
