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 Weber Gas
Barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your garden or
on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber Gas Barbecue with
you if you move.
LPG gas is quicker 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.
• This Weber®gas barbecue is designed for use with LPG gas only. Do
not use with natural (piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and
regulator are for LPG 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 LPG cylinder must be free and clear from debris.
• Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those
specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer.
• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber®gas grill must be used
and must comply with the requirements of SANS 1237. This regulator is
set for 2.8 kPa.
• Use only SANS approved hose assemblies.

used.
STORAGE AND/OR NON-USE
• The gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder 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 LPG cylinder stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated space.
• LPG cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of
reach of children. Disconnected LP cylinder must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• When the LPG cylinder is not disconnected from the Weber®gas
barbecue, the appliance and LPG tank must be kept outdoors in a well-
ventilated space.
• The Weber®gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any
obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Section: Gas
Instructions and 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.

when operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the 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 INSIDE and
OUTSIDE burners. For example, to sear steaks, you would set both burners

Cleaning
 WARNING: Turn your Weber®gas barbecue OFF and wait for it to
cool before cleaning.
For availability of replacement cooking grate contact the Customer Service
Representative in your region using the contact information on our web site.
Log onto www.weber.com®.
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse
with water.
 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
Cooking grate - Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed,
remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with 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,
then rinse.
Inside cooking Box - 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.
Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent grease
build-up. Flaking built-up grease resembles paint flakes.
Swing-up work tables - 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.
Swing-up work tables are not to be used as cutting boards.
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.
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 both 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. After preheating, adjust control knobs to
Medium or Low, or to between 350 and 450º F (177 and 232º C)
Drippings and grease - Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the
catch pan under the cookbox. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit
the catch pan.
 WARNING: Check the drip pan for grease build-up
before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a
grease fire in the catch pan.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CHECK CURE
Burners burn with a yellow or orange
flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas.
Inspect Spider / Insect Screens for possible
obstructions. (Blockage of holes.)
Clean Spider / Insect Screens. (See Section
“Annual Maintenance”)
Burner does not light, or flame is low in
HIGH position.
Is LP fuel low or empty? Refill LP cylinder.
Is fuel hose bent or kinked? Straighten fuel hose.
Does the outside burner light with a match? If you can light the outside burner with a match,
then check the ignition system.
Experiencing flare-ups:
 CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray
with aluminum foil.
Are you preheating barbecue in the prescribed
manner?
All burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes for
preheating.
Are the cooking grates heavily coated with
burned-on grease?
Clean thoroughly. (See Section “Cleaning”)
Is the bottom tray “dirty” and not allowing
grease to flow into catch pan?
Clean bottom tray
Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is
