measures grill temperature, and can be removed and  
inserted into the food.  
d) Heavy gauge steel Flavorizer Bars distribute heat  
within the grill. Flavorizer Bars heat just the right  
amount of drippings for flavoring, letting excess fat  
drip past to help prevent flare-ups. Uncontrolled flare-  
ups are eliminated (versus lava rock systems on other  
grills). The heavy gauge steel Flavorizer Bars are  
easy to clean.  
IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES:  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is equipped with a new and  
improved LP tank connection, that has additional  
safety features. They are:  
e) Weber Warm-Up Basket for additional cooking or  
warming space.  
1. The connection of the barbecue to the LP tank can be  
made without the use of tools.  
f) Separate burners for temperature control.  
2. The new connection will not permit the flow of gas until  
a positive gas connection is made.  
g) Side burner for making sauces, gravies, etc.,while  
main grill is in use.  
3. If an accidental fire occurs at the LP tank connection,  
the flow of gas is stopped by a temperature activated  
shutoff.  
h) Fuel scale indicates LP gas supply.  
i) Crossover Ignition System with Gas Catcher Ignition  
Chamber.  
4. If the LP supply hose becomes damaged, cut,  
punctured, or accidentally fire damaged, the barbecue  
connection is equipped with an excess flow control  
that will limit the flow of gas if leakage or a fire occurs.  
j) Catch pan catches excess grease.  
k) Locking casters for additional portability.

General Instructions  
Storage  
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 gas must be turned OFF at the LP tank when the  
Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.  
When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the  
gas supply must be disconnected and the LP tank  
stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.  
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.  
LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated  
area out of the reach of children. Disconnected LP  
tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any  
other enclosed area.  
Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives  
you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.  
When the LP tank is not disconnected from the Weber  
Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP tank must be  
kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.  
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.  
Operating area  
Not for use by children.  
ƽWARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a  
well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,  
breezeway or any other enclosed area.  
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.  
Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an  
unprotected combustible roof or overhang.  
The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber Gas  
Barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 10.5  
inches of water column (pressure).  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be  
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.  
This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for use with  
liquid propane (LP) gas only. Do not use with natural  
(piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and  
regulator are for LP gas only.  
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.  
Do not use with charcoal fuel.  
Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply  
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.  
hose away from any heated surface.  
Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and  
liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and  
combustible materials.  
The area around the LP tank must be free and clear  
from debris.  
Never store an extra (spare) LP tank under or near  
the Weber Gas Barbecue.  
For Installation in Canada  
These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not  
necessarily comply with the Canadian Installation codes,  
particularly with piping above and below ground. In  
Canada the installation of this appliance must comply with  
local codes and/or Standard CAN/CGA-B149.2 (Installation  
Code for Propane Burning Appliances and Equipment).

Step 16  
Set LP fuel scale  
You will need: LP tank (empty).  
Fill LP tank  
Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the  
materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If  
the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a  
question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's  
customer service center. The phone number is on the  
warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank.  
If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your  
satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products Co.,  
Customer Service Center.  
Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an  
empty tank.  
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the  
tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies.  
(The top collar is the metal protective ring around the  
valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing  
the front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing  
away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are  
illustrated in Figure 16.  
To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center,  
or look-up gas propane in the phone book for other  
sources of LP gas.  
Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held  
up out of the way. Figure 16 (a). Lift and hook the tank  
onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel  
scale setting to E by turning the scale setting (top) wing  
nut. Figure 16 (b).  
ƽWARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be  
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified  
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.  
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.  
ƽCAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from  
tank scale.  
Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must  
be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling.  
Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.  
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of  
times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.  
ƽWARNING: If you exchange your LP tank, make  
sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is  
equipped with a quick-disconnect valve and an OPD  
(Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP tanks are not  
compatible with your barbecue connection.  
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in  
an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or  
handled roughly.

Do not use an open flame to check for gas  
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open  
flames in the area while you check for  
leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion  
which can cause serious bodily injury or  
death and damage to property.  
Check:  
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 21 (a).  
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 21 (b).  
c) Manifold to side burner hose connection.Figure 21 (c).  
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections a, b or c,  
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for  
leaks with soap and water solution.  
ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every  
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.  
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF  
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact  
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.  
Note - All factory made connections have been thoroughly  
checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame  
tested. As a safety precaution you should recheck all  
fittings for leaks before using your Weber Genesis Gas  
Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have loosened or  
damaged a gas fitting.  
d) Side burner hose to side burner connection.  
Figure 21 (d).  
e) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 21 (e).  
f) Hose to regulator connection. Figure 21 (f).  
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your  
barbecue was dealer or store assembled.  
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections d, e or f,  
turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.  
Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.  
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or  
brush to apply it.  
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at  
the source and rinse connections with water.

Storage and/or Nonuse continued  
Cooking  
LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated  
area out of reach of children. Disconnected LP tanks  
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other  
enclosed area.  
ƽWARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue  
when operating or hot.  
You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners  
as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low  
(L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The  
cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of  
the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to  
sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high).  
Then to complete cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT  
at medium, CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your  
Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.  
When the LP tank is not disconnected from the Weber  
Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP tank must be  
kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.  
The Weber Gas Barbecue should be checked for  
gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes  
before using. (See Sections "General and Annual  
Maintenance.")  
Check that the areas under the control panel and the  
bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct  
the flow of combustion or ventilation air.  
Note: The temperatures inside your cooking box, for the  
first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may  
be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking  
conditions may require the adjustment of the burner  
controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.  
The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked for  
any obstructions. (See Section "Annual Maintenance.")  
ƽCAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in  
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.  
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all  
burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.  
Periodic Cleaning  
Preheating  
ƽWARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and

Safe handling tips for LP Gas  
Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s)  
Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are  
gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular  
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure,  
inside a tank, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is  
released the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.  
The LP tank and connections supplied with your  
Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested  
to meet government, American Gas Association and  
Underwriters Laboratories requirements.  
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should  
Replacement LP tanks supplied by Weber satisfy the  
requirements. Check to be sure the tank has a D.O.T.  
certification, and has been tested within five years.  
Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. Figure 9.  
know this odor.  
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect  
in low areas that prevent dispersion.  
If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please  
call Weber-Stephen Customer Service.  
To fill, take the LP tank to an RV center, or look up gas-  
propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.  
ƽWARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be  
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified  
attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER  
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.  
D.O.T. Certification (example)  
ƽWARNING: If you exchange your LP tank, make  
sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is  
equipped with a quick-disconnect valve and an OPD  
(Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP tanks are not  
compatible with your barbecue connection.  
DOT 4BA240  
1/97  
Air must be removed from a new LP tank before the  
initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.  
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored  
in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped  
or handled roughly.  
Date tested  
20 lb LP tank  
Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures  
can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example:  
do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).  
Figure 9  
All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to

normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane  
supply so you can refill before running out. You do not  
have to run out before you refill.  
protect the tank valve.  
The LP tank must be a 20 lb size (18 1/4 inches high,  
12 1/4 inches in diameter).  
The LP tank must be constructed and marked in  
accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders  
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).  
Treat "empty" LP tanks with the same care as when  
full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there  
still may be gas pressure in the tank. Always close  
the tank valve before disconnecting.  
Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP  
tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be  
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one  
immediately. See "LP tank requirements".  
The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must  
be leak tested each time the LP tank is reconnected.  
For example, test each time the LP tank is refilled.  
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent  
hole pointed downward so it will not collect water. This  
vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

(b)  
Inspect the burners for correct flame pattern. Clean if  
necessary, following the procedures outlined in the  
"General Maintenance" section of this manual.  
Check all gas fittings for leaks.  
(c)  
ƽ DANGER  
Do not use an open flame to check for gas  
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open  
flames in the area while you check for  
leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion  
which can cause serious bodily injury or  
death, and damage to property.  
(d)  
ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every  
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.  
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or  
brush to apply it.  
(e)  
(f)  
Make sure main burners are in the OFF position.  
Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control knob  
and screws. Remove enamel top.  
To perform leak checks: Turn on gas supply.  
ƽWARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking.  
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap  
and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles  
form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.  
Figure 10  
Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber Spider  
Stopper Guards  
Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and  
water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be  
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.  
To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control  
panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their  
outside surfaces. If they do, brush off the outside surface of  
the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle brush (an old  
toothbrush for example). Check that there are no gaps in  
the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in the fit around the  
burners or valves. (See Section "General Maintenance".)  
Check:  
a) Hose to manifold connections. Figure 10 (a).  
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 10 (b).  
c) Manifold to side burner hose connection. Figure 10 (c).  
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections a, b or c,  
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for  
leaks with soap and water solution.  
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF  
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact  
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

Main Burner Flame Pattern  
General Maintenance  
Weber Spider Stopper Guards  
The Weber Gas Barbecue burners have been factory set  
for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame  
pattern is shown in Figure 13.  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas  
appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They  
can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This  
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow  
back out of the air shutter. Figure 11. This could result in a  
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel,  
causing serious damage to your barbecue.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure  
The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits  
tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube  
and the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other  
insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter  
openings. Figure 12.  
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold. (See  
Section “Replacing the main burners”.)  
Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Figure 14.  
Weber Spider  
Stopper Guard  
Figure 14  
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened  
out coat hanger will work). Figure 15. Check and clean the  
air shutter opening at the ends of the burners. Check and  
clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves. Use a  
brass bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to  
make sure all the burner ports are fully open.  
Figure 12  
We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider  
Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See section  
“Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the  
Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following  
symptoms should ever occur.  
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames  
appearing yellow and lazy.  
2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.  
3. Barbecue heats unevenly.  
Figure 15  
ƽCAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when  
cleaning.  
4. One or more of the burners do not ignite.  
ƽ DANGER  
Failure to correct these symptoms may  
result in a fire which can cause serious  
bodily injury or death and cause damage  
to property.  
Replacing Main Burners  
a) Your Weber Gas Barbecue must be OFF and cool.  
b) Turn gas OFF at source.  
c) Remove control panel: take off the burner control  
knobs. Remove the screws holding the control panel  
in place. Lift off the control panel.
