General Instructions  
Storage  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a stationary 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 natural gas  
supply when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in  
use.  
Operating area  
The natural gas supply is easy to use and gives you  
more cooking control than charcoal fuel.  
ƽWARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a  
well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage,  
building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.  
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.  
ƽWARNING: Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue  
under an unprotected combustible roof or  
overhang.  
ƽWARNING: Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not  
intended to be installed in or on recreational  
vehicles and/or boats.  
Not for use by children.  
If there are local codes that apply to 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.  
ƽWARNING: Do not use combustible materials  
within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides  
of the grill.  
This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for natural  
(piped in city) gas only. Do not use Liquid Propane  
(LP) bottled gas. The valves and orifices are for  
natural gas only.  
ƽWARNING: The entire cooking box gets hot  
when in use. Do not leave unattended.  
ƽWARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord away  
from any heated surface.  
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.  
ƽWARNING: Keep the cooking area clear of  
flammable vapors and liquids, such as gasoline,  
alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.  
For Installation in Canada  
Gas supply testing  
These instructions, while generally accecptable, 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).  
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).  
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).

insulated from hose piping and cathodically protected.  
Piping  
It is recommended that copper tubing be corrosion  
protected with a satisfactory material such as TC  
Mastic.  
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  
Recommendations for gas supply installations:  
All buried fittings should be corrosion protected with a  
satisfactory material such as TC Mastic.  
Connections:  
I This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches  
Underground piping must have a minimum of 10"  
cover.  
of water column pressure (.2526 psi).  
I A manual shut-off valve must be installed  
outdoors, immediately ahead of any connections  
or change in pipe material.  
Plastic tubing  
Plastic tubing is suitable only for outside underground  
use.  
I An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should  
be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible  
location near the supply line.  
I The transition from metallic pipe to plastic pipe  
should be made outside and at least 10"  
underground.  
I The point of tie into the branch line should be  
carefully selected to avoid a drip leg or be  
downstream of a valve controlling another  
appliance.  
I When compression or crimp type mechanical  
joints are used with plastic pipe, it is advisable to  
use an internal rigid stiffener in conjunction with  
the fitting.  
I Pipe compound should be used which is resistant  
to action of natural gas when connections are  
made.  
I The stiffener should be assembled flush with the  
end of the tube and extend at least to the outside  
edge of the compression fitting.  
I The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to  
rigid, permanent construction.  
Testing connections  
You will need a soap and water solution and a rag or  
brush to apply it.  
Gas line piping  
I If the length of 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.  
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested  
for leaks after gas has been turned into the line.  
I Indoor and above ground piping can be steel or  
ƽ DANGER  
copper.  
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.  
Steel  
New standard weight (Schedule 40) steel pipe with  
malleable iron fittings.  
Copper  
New copper tubing type K or L.  
Copper tubing must meet requirements of ASTM B88  
latest edition.  
Use flared fittings. Metallic ball sleeve compression  
fittings must not be used.  
Wet the fitting with a soap and water solution. Any  
bubbles that form or grow indicate a leak. If bubbles  
occur shut off gas, tighten the fitting, and retest.  
Copper tube joints may be soldered or brazed with  
material having a melting point in excess of 1,000°F.  
ƽWARNING: If a leak persists after tightening the  
fitting, turn gas off at the supply. DO NOT  
OPERATE YOUR BARBECUE. Contact Weber-  
Stephen Customer Service.  
Outside underground piping  
Outside underground piping may be copper tubing,  
type K or L (ASTM B88) or polyethylene plastic tube  
PE3306 (Minimum wall thickness .062") meeting  
ASTM 2513, latest specifications.

Cooking  
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.  
I Keep the appliance area clear and free from  
combustible materials, gasoline and other  
flammable vapors and liquids.  
Periodic Cleaning  
ƽCAUTION: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF  
and wait for it to cool before cleaning.  
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.  
ƽCAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or  
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.  
Replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars  
are available through your retailer or the Weber-  
Stephen Customer Service Center.  
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution.  
ƽCAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not  
in use. Do not leave thermometer in food while  
cooking.  
ƽCAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive  
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain  
citrus products or abrasive cleaning pads on  
barbecue or cart surfaces.  
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off  
all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.  
Bottom tray - Remove excess grease and then wash  
with warm soapy water.  
Preheating  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient  
appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy.  
To preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all burners  
to high (HHH). Preheating to between 500° and 550° F  
(260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes depending  
on conditions such as air temperature and wind.  
Flavorizer Bars and Cooking Grates - Clean with a  
suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from  
grill and wash with warm soapy water.  
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.  
Drippings and grease  
Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water, clean  
with plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or  
submerge in water.  
The Flavorizer Bars are designed to "smoke" the right  
amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess  
drippings and grease accumulate in the catch pan under  
the bottom tray. Disposable foil liners are available that fit  
the catch pan.  
Inside cooking box - Brush any debris off of burners  
tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS  
(OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm  
soapy water.  
ƽCAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease  
build-up before each use. Remove excess grease  
to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.  
Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper  
towel to prevent flaking due to grease build-up.  
Work tables and accessory trays - Use any  
household cleaners on these surfaces except those that  
contain acid, mineral spirits or Xylene. Rinse well after  
cleaning.  
After a Period of Nonuse  
I 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.)  
Plastic work surfaces are not to be used as cutting  
boards.  
I 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.

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

Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a  
straightened 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.  
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect  
Screens at least once a year. (See section “Annual  
Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the  
Spider/Insect Screens if any of the following  
symptoms should ever occur.  
ƽCAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when  
cleaning.  
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner  
flames appearing yellow and lazy.  
2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.
