Step 7

Add cooking box

You will need: frame assembly, cooking box assembly, spacer bracket, 1/4-20 x 2 inch bolt, nylon washer, 1/4-20 keps nut, pliers and a 7/16 inch wrench.

Set the cooking box in the frame so the burner tubes are under the frame brace. Figure 13.

Note: Be careful when sliding the burner tubes through the side frame.

Frame brace

Your Weber Gas Barbecue burner assembly has been factory assembled, pressure and flame tested. As a safety precaution we recommend you check the burner alignment:

a)Are the ends of the burners under the washers at the left rear and left front of the cooking box? The screws are only guides. Do not tighten. Figure 15 (a).

b)Are the wing nuts under the burner assembly hand tight? Do not tighten with pliers. Figure 15 (b).

If you answered YES to a and b, the burners are correctly aligned. If you answered NO, the burners are misaligned. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. Do not use barbecue.

Slide the cooking box to the left within the frame. Put nylon washer on bolt. Insert the bolt through the frame and cooking box with the head of the bolt outside the frame. Figure 14. Add the keps nut. Tighten by holding the bolt with pliers while you tighten the nut with the 7/16 inch wrench.
