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 require- ments 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

The Weber® gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Sections: “General Maintenance and Annual Maintenance.”)

Check that the areas under the control panel and the slide out bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

The Spider /Insect Screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual Maintenance.”)

Gas Supply Testing

Disconnect your Weber® gas barbecue when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This appli- ance and its individual shutoff valve must be discon- nected 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).
