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.
