h
c) Rapid read thermometer for precision cooking
measures grill temperature, and can be removed and
inserted into the food.
IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES:
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.
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is equipped with a new and
improved LP tank connection, that has additional
safety features. They are:
1. The connection of the barbecue to the LP tank can be
made without the use of tools.
2. The new connection will not permit the flow of gas
until a positive gas connection is made.
e) Weber Warm-Up Basket for additional cooking or
warming space.
3. If an accidental fire occurs at the LP tank connection,
the flow of gas is stopped by a temperature activated
shutoff.
f) Separate burners for temperature control.
g) 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.
h) Fuel scale indicates LP gas supply.
i) Catch pan catches excess grease.
j) 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

Step 13
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 13.
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 13 (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 13 (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.

leaks with soap and water solution.
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.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections
(b), (c) or (d), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE
BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at
the source and rinse connections with water.
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.
(a)
(b)
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your
barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
Note - Since some leaks test solutions, including soap
and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

■ 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.
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.
■ 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.
■ The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked for

Safe handling tips for LP Gas
■ The LP tank and connections supplied with your Weber
Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested to meet
government, American Gas Association and
■ 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.
Underwriters Laboratories requirements.
■ 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 7.
■ LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should
know this odor.
If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please call
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
■ LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect
in low areas that prevent dispersion.
D.O.T. Certification (example)
■ 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

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.).
Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at
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.
■ 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.

General Maintenance
Weber Spider Stopper Guards
Main Burner Flame Pattern
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 9. This could result in a
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel,
causing serious damage to your barbecue.
The Weber Gas Barbecue burners have been factory set
for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame
pattern is shown in Figure 11.

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 10.
Main Burner Cleaning Procedure(See Section
“Replacing the main burners”.)
Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Figure 12.

brass bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to
make sure all the burner ports are fully open.
Figure 10
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.
