General Instructions  
The gas must be turned OFF at the LP cylinder  
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.  
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  
cylinder stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.  
LP cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-  
ventilated area out of the reach of children. Dis-  
connected LP cylinders must not be stored in a  
building, garage or any other enclosed area.  
When the LP cylinder is not disconnected from the  
Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP  
cylinder must be kept 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, if you move.  
Liquid Propane (LP) 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.  
Operating  
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.  
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.  
ƽ WARNING:Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not  
intended to be installed in or on recreational  
vehicles and/or boats.  
The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber  
Gas Barbecue must be used. This regulator is set  
for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).  
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 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.  
The areas around the LP cylinder must be free  
and clear from debris.  
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.  
ƽ WARNING: Keep the cooking area clear of  
flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline,  
alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.  
ƽ WARNING: Never store an extra (spare) LP  
cylinder 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).

This is a secondary device to prevent the overfilling of  
your LP cylinder. The proper filling methods for the  
filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as  
described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling  
station fills your LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask  
your filling station to read purging and filling instruc-  
tions on the LP cylinder before attempting to fill.

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 Stopper ™ Guards should also be  
checked for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual  
Maintenance.)  
Cooking  
ƽ WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbe-  
cue when operating or while barbecue is hot.  
You can adjust the FRONT 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 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.  
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.  
Cooking conditions. Such as wind and weather, may  
require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain  
the correct cooking temperatures.  
ƽ CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® Bars or  
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.  
For availability of replacement cooking grates and  
Flavorizer Bars contact the Customer Service  
Representative in your region using the contact  
information sheet provided with your manual.  
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution  
to clean, then rinse with water.  
ƽ CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive  
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain  
citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on  
barbecue or cart surfaces.  
Slide out Bottom tray - Remove excess grease, then  
wash with warm soapy water, then rinse  
Flavorizer® Bars and Cooking Grates - Clean with a  
suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from  
grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with  
water.  
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.  
Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you  
can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the  
catch pan, wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.  
Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water; clean  
with plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or  
submerge in water.  
Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer® Bars are  
designed to “smoke” the 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.  
Inside cooking module - Brush any debris off of  
burner tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS  
(OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm  
soapy water and a water rinse.  
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.  
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.

Using the Smoker Box  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ambient temperature, type and  
size of wood, moisture content and wind condition will  
always be a large factor in your results.  
The Smoker cooks with both Weber Firespice™ Wood  
Chips and Chunks. For best results with faster cooking  
foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recom-  
mend using the FireSpice Chips because they ignite  
and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods  
such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recom-  
mend using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite  
slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time.  
As you gain experience in using your smoker, we  
encourage you to experiment with different combina-  
tions of FireSpice Chips and Chunks to find the smoke  
flavor that best suits your taste.  
Adjust the burners for cooking, MOM or LOL will be  
your best settings for long duration smoking. Smoke  
will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long  
as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill  
the smoker with FireSpice Chips and /or Chunks. The  
smoker may be used to enhance any of the meat,  
poultry and fish recipes in the gas barbecue cookbook.  
Cook with the lid down according to the times indi-  
cated in charts or recipes. Keep the lid of the barbecue  
closed while cooking.  
Note - After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10  
to 15 minutes to start again.  
Cooking  
As a starting point, place a couple of handfuls of  
FireSpice Chips or a few FireSpice Chunks in the  
bottom of the smoker body. Since the chunks vary in  
size, place as many as you can in the smoker. As you  
gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the  
amount of wood to suit your taste. Close the smoker  
lid.  
ƽDANGER  
Do not use any flammable fluid in the  
Smoker to ignite the wood.  
Cleaning  
Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow  
proper airflow. Accomplish this by tapping the sides of  
the smoker and stirring the ashes so that they sift  
through the bottom and fall into the bottom tray of your  
barbecue. Remove bottom tray and empty.  
Note - Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the  
surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed  
and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a  
lesser degree a “smoke” residue will accumulate on  
the inside of your Weber Gas Barbecue. This residue  
need not be removed and will not adversely affect the  
function of your barbecue.  
Light the barbecue and preheat with all burners on  
HIGH, lid down, for 10 minutes or until the wood starts  
to smoke. If you leave the grill in the preheat mode for  
too long the chips will char prematurely reducing the  
smoke.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)  
Safe handling tips for  
Liquid Propane Gas Cyl-  
inders  
The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder  
must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is  
reconnected. For example, test each time the LP  
cylinder is refilled.  
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent  
hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water.  
This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.  
The LP cylinder and connections supplied with your  
Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested  
to meet government, American Gas Association, and  
Underwriters Laboratories requirements.  
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 cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the  
pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and  
becomes gas.  
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas.You  
should be aware of this odor.  
(1)  
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may  
collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.  
To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look  
up “gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources  
of LP gas.  
ƽ WARNING:We recommend that your LP cylinder  
be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a  
qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.  
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.  
DOT 4BA240  
00/00  
ƽ WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,  
make sure you get a similar tank in return.Your LP  
cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling  
or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention  
Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible  
with your barbecue connection.  
Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before  
the initial filling.Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.  
The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and  
stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not  
be dropped or handled roughly.  
Never store or transport the LP cylinder where  
temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by  
hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a  
car on a hot day).  
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 cylinders with the same care as  
when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid  
there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always  
close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.  
ƽ CAUTION:When transporting the LP cylinder  
make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over  
the valve.This will keep dust and dirt from the  
threaded portion of the valve.

Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements  
Replacement LP cylinders supplied by Weber satisfy  
the above requirements. Check to be sure other  
cylinders have a D.O.T. certification(1), and date  
tested(2) is within five years.Your LP gas supplier can  
do this for you.  
If you have questions about spare LP cylinders  
contact the Customer Service Representative in  
your region using the contact information sheet  
provided with your manual.  
All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to  
protect the cylinder valve.  
The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size (18 1/4 inches  
high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter).  
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in  
accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders  
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).  
Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty  
LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve  
may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new  
one immediately.

General Maintenance  
Weber Spider Stopper™ Guards  
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 Stopper™ Guard(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.
