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.

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.
