After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the Weber® gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and burner obstructions before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.
Do not operate the Weber® gas barbecue if there is a gas leak present. Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of your Weber® gas barbecue.
Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue. Your Weber® gas barbecue should never be used by children. Accessible parts of the barbecue may be very hot. Keep young children away while it is in use.
You should exercise reasonable care when operating your Weber® gas barbecue. It will be hot during cooking or cleaning and should never be left unattended, or moved while in operation.
Should the burners go out while in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five min- utes before attempting to relight, using the lighting instructions.
Do not use charcoal or lava rock in your Weber® gas barbecue.
Never lean over open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of the cooking box. Should a grease fire occur, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.
Do not enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners. The Weber® gas barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty. Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.
