use.  
When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors,  
the gas supply must be disconnected.  
Operating  
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.  
ƽ WARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a  
well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage,  
building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.  
ƽ WARNING: Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue  
under an unprotected combustible roof or over-  
hang.  
ƽ WARNING:Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not  
intended to be installed in or on recreational  
vehicles and/or boats.  
ƽ WARNING: Do not use combustible materials  
within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides  
of the grill.  
ƽ WARNING:The entire cooking box gets hot  
when in use. Do not leave unattended.  
ƽ WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and  
the fuel supply hose away from any heated sur-  
face.  
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 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.  
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.  
ƽ WARNING: Keep the cooking area clear of  
flammable vapors and liquids, such as gasoline,  
alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.  
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.  
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).  
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 Standards CAN/  
CGA-B149.1 (Installation Code for Natural Gas  
Burning Appliances and Equipment).  
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).

Gas Line Piping  
General Specifications for Piping  
If the length of the line required does not exceed 50  
feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be  
used for lengths greater than 50 feet.  
Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;  
polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thick-  
ness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40)  
steel or wrought iron pipe.  
Note - Contact your local municipality for building  
codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installa-  
tions. In absence of Local Codes, you must con-  
firm to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE REC-  
OMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY  
A PROFESSIONAL.  
Some of the following are general requirements taken  
from ANISI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifi-  
cations.  
Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains  
more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic  
feet of gas.  
This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of  
water column pressure (.2526 psi).  
Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, under-  
ground use.  
A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,  
immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.  
An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should  
be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible  
location near the supply line  
Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other  
material which may corrode the piping, must be  
protected against corrosion in an approved manner.  
Underground piping must have a minimum of 18"  
cover  
The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT  
thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect  
fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically  
shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the  
barbecue is disconnected  
Test Connections  
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested  
for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed  
procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1  
The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizon-  
tally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the  
open end pointing upward can result in collecting  
water and debris.  
The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep  
the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean  
while disconnected.  
Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to  
the action of natural gas when connections are made.  
The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to  
rigid, permanent construction.  
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 gas  
leaks.This will result in a fire or explosion  
which can cause serious bodily injury or  
death and damage to property.

Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber  
cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to  
describe the settings of the FRONT and BACK burn-  
ers. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all  
burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you  
would set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to  
your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.  
Cleaning  
ƽ WARNING:Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF  
and wait for it to cool before cleaning.  
ƽ CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® Bars or

(OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm  
soapy water and a water rinse.  
Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper  
towel to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up  
grease resembles paint flakes.  
Stainless steel surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and  
a soap and water solution.  
Note: The temperature inside your cooking box for the  
first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective,  
may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook.

require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain  
the correct cooking temperatures.  
ƽ CAUTION: 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 five minutes before relighting.  
Preheating - Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy-  
efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low  
BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn  
all burners to high (HH). Preheating to between 500°  
and 550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15  
minutes depending on conditions such as air tempera-  
ture and wind.  
Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer® Bars are  
designed to smokethe correct amount of drippings  
for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will  
accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom  
tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the  
catch pan.  
ƽ WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease  
build-up before each use. Remove excess grease  
to avoid a grease fire in the slide out bottom tray.  
Plastic surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap  
and water solution.  
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral  
spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

General Maintenance  
Weber Spider StopperGuards  
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 (Venturi(1), air  
shutter(2), venturi fin(3) ) of the burner tubes. This  
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to  
flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a  
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control  
panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

The Weber Spider StopperGuard(1) 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.  
Main Burner Cleaning Procedure  
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.  
Look inside each burner with a flashlight.  
(1)  
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straight-  
ened-out coat hanger will work). 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.  
CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when  
cleaning.  
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.  
4) One or more of the burners do not ignite.  
ƽ DANGER  
Failure to correct the above mentioned  
symptoms may result in a fire, which can  
cause serious bodily injury or death, and  
cause damage to property.
