GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
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 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.
• Not for use by children.
• If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to
them. Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code,
B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and
CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.

COOKING
ƽ WARNING: Do not move the Weber ® gas barbecue when
operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust BURNER 1, 2, and 3 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 BURNER 1, 2, and 3. For example, to sear
steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set
BURNER 1 and BURNER 3 at M (medium). Refer to your Weber
® cookbook for detailed
cooking instructions.
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 condi-
tions such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to
obtain the correct cooking temperatures.
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 (H). 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.
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.
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 cooking
grates in a self-cleaning oven.
For availability of replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer ® bars contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on
our website. Log onto www.weber.com

Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse with water.

(kitchen cleansers), cleaners that contain citrus products, or
abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
