General Instructions

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a stationary 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 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 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.

This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for natural (piped in city) gas only. Do not use Liquid Propane (LP) bottled gas. The valves and orifices 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.

Storage

The gas must be turned OFF at the natural gas supply when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.

Operating area

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

Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an unprotected combustible roof or overhang.

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

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

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

Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surface.

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).
