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 you 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. If there are no local
codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1.
■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 area around the LP tank must be free and clear
from debris.
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).
Storage
■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.
■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.
■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.
Operating area
WARNING: Onlyuse this barbecue outdoors in a
well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
■Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an
unprotected combustible roof or overhang.
■Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
■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.
■Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply
hose away from any heated surface.
■Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors
and liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and
combustible materials.

Set LP fuel scale
You will need: LP tank (empty).
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
front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away
from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in
Figure 14.
Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held
up out of the way. Figure 14 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto
the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale
setting to E with scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 14 (b).
CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from
tank scale.
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of
times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.
Step 13
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.
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.
WARNING: 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.
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.
WARNING: 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.
Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures
can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for
example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see
Section "Safe handling tips for LP gas".

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
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 Gas Barbecue.
Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a
gas fitting.
WARNING: 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.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 18.
 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.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap
and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
Step 16
Check for gas leaks
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 19 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 19 (b).
WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a)
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
c) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 19 (c).
d) The hose to regulator connection. Figure 19 (d).
WARNING: 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.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF
and rinse connections with water.
