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” flavour in the food.
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.
Liquid Propane (LP) 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. We therefore request that you read them carefully before you
use the Weber gas barbecue.
• Not for use by children
• Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The valves and orifices are
designed exclusively for LP gas.
• Not to be used with charcoal briquettes or lava rock.
• Use only a 3kg-13kg LP gas cylinder.
• In the United Kingdom, this appliance must be fitted with a regulator complying with
BS 3016, having a nominal output of 37 millibars. (Supplied with barbecue.)
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• The length of hose must not exceed 1.5 meters.
• Change the flexible hose when national conditions require it.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
• Only a nationally approved low-pressure hose and regulator must be used.
STORAGE
• When the Weber Gas Barbecue is not being used, turn off the gas supply cylinder
valve.
• When storing the Weber Gas Barbecue indoors, disconnect the gas supply line.
The gas cylinder itself is to be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
• If the gas supply cylinder is not removed from the Weber Gas Barbecue, the
entire grill and the gas supply cylinder are to be stored in a well-ventilated place
outdoors.
• Gas supply cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of
reach of children. Disconnected gas supply cylinders must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
OPERATING
WARNING: This appliance is intended for outdoor use only
and should never be used in garages and roofed or enclosed
porches or verandas.
WARNING: The Weber Gas Barbecue must never be used
under an unprotected combustible roof or overhang.
WARNING: The barbecue should not be used when
combustible materials are within 60 cm. of the top, bottom,
back or sides of the grill.
WARNING: Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be
installed in or on caravans and/or boats.
WARNING: When in use, the entire barbecue gets hot. Never
leave it unattended.
WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel
supply hose away from any heated surface.
WARNING: Keep the cooking area clear of flammable
vapours and liquids, such as petrol, alcohol, etc., and
combustible materials.
WARNING: Never store an extra (spare) gas supply cylinder
near the Weber Gas Barbecue.
WARNING: This appliance gets very hot. Take special care
when children or elderly people are present
WARNING: Do not move the appliance while it is alight.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves when using this
appliance.
WARNING: This appliance is very hot. Take special care
when children or elderly people are present.
COOKING
WARNING: Do not move the Weber®gas barbecue 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
burners. For example, to brown 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.
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 all burners to
high (HH). Preheating to between 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 flavourful 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.
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.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are petrol and natural gas. LP
gas is a gas at normal temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure,
inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily
vapourises and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odour.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent
dispersion.
• 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 51°C (too
hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot
day).
• 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.
• 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.
Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
• 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, insects etc.
REFILLING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is completely empty.
To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
Removal of the gas supply cylinder
1) Shut off gas supply.
2) Disconnect hose with regulator from the cylinder.
A) Unscrew regulator fitting from tank turning clockwise.
B) Move regulator lever (b) to down/off position. Push in regulator lever (b)
until it releases from tank.
C) Move regulator lever to off position. Slide collar of regulator up (1) to
disconnect from tank.
3) Exchange empty cylinder for a full cylinder.

WEBER®SPIDER /INSECT SCREENS
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 (1) of the burner tubes. This
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the combustion
air opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under
the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to
prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the combustion air
openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year.
(See Section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect
screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.
2) Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3) Barbecue heats unevenly.
4) One or more of the burners do not ignite.
DANGER
Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result
in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and
cause damage to property.
