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.  
Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an  
unprotected combustible roof or overhang.

the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill.  
The entire cooking box gets hot when in use. Do not  
leave unattended.  
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.  
Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated  
surface.  
Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and  
liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and  
combustible materials.  
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.  
Gas supply testing  
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).

Notice Before Installation  
Contact your local municipality for any building codes regulating outdoor barbecue installations. In absence of  
local codes, you must conform to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1.  
WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.  
Outside underground piping  
General Specifications for  
Piping  
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  
Recommendations for gas supply installations:  
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.  
Steel pipe is not recommended for underground use  
unless it is protected with an approved coating, insulated  
Connections:  
This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of  
from hose piping and cathodically protected.  
water column pressure (.2526 psi).  
It is recommended that copper tubing be corrosion  
protected with a satisfactory material such as TC Mastic.  
A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,  
immediately ahead of any connections or change in  
pipe material.  
All buried fittings should be corrosion protected with a  
satisfactory material such as TC Mastic.  
An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be  
installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible  
location near the supply line.  
Underground piping must have a minimum of 10" cover.  
Plastic tubing  
Plastic tubing is suitable only for outside underground use.  
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.  
The transition from metallic pipe to plastic pipe should  
be made outside and at least 10" underground.  
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.  
Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to  
action of natural gas when connections are made.  
The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to  
The stiffener should be assembled flush with the end  
of the tube and extend at least to the outside edge of  
the compression fitting.  
rigid, permanent construction.  
Gas line piping  
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.  
Testing connections  
You will need a soap and water solution and a rag or  
brush to apply it.  
Indoor and above ground piping can be steel or copper.  
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for  
leaks after gas has been turned into the line.  
Steel  
New standard weight (Schedule 40) steel pipe with  
malleable iron fittings.  
ƽ 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 gas leaks. This will result in a fire or  
explosion which can cause serious bodily  
injury or death, and damage to property.  
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.  
Copper tube joints may be soldered or brazed with material  
having a melting point in excess of 1,000°F.  
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.  
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.

the barbecue gas supply line and the natural gas  
supply be flare to flare. A 3/8-inch flare fitting has  
been included with the barbecue gas supply line of  
your gas barbecue. The fitting is loosely connected for  
shipping and should be removed before installation.  
(Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you should  
check to be sure.) Put the knob on each valve. Check by  
pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn  
they are off. Proceed to the next step. Figure 17.  
You will need: barbecue gas supply line, 3/8 inch flare  
fitting, 3/4 inch and 11/16 inch wrenches.  
ƽWARNING: This barbecue is NOT portable. It must  
be bolted down at all times when it is connected to a  
natural gas supply.  
Unscrew the 3/8 inch flare fitting from the barbecue gas  
supply line. Apply pipe sealant to the threads of the  
pipe fitting. Screw the pipe fitting end of the 3/8 inch  
flare fitting into the natural gas supply pipe. Tighten with  
an 11/16 inch wrench. Figure 16 (a).

Cooking  
After a Period of Nonuse  
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.  
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.)  
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.  
The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked for  
any obstructions. (See Section "Annual Maintenance.")  
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.  
Keep the appliance area clear and free from  
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable  
vapors and liquids.  
ƽCAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in  
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.  
Periodic Cleaning  
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all  
burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.  
ƽWARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and  
wait for it to cool before cleaning.  
Preheating  
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.  
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.  
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution.  
ƽCAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive  
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain  
citrus products or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue  
or cart surfaces.  
Drippings and grease  
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.  
Bottom tray - Remove excess grease and then wash with  
warm soapy water.  
ƽWARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-  
up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a  
grease fire in the bottom tray.  
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.  
Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water, clean with  
plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or submerge  
in water.  
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.  
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.

Main Burner Flame Pattern  
General Maintenance  
Weber Spider Stopper Guards  
The Weber Gas Barbecue burners have been factory set  
for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame  
pattern is shown in Figure 6.  
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. Figure 4. This could result in a  
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel,  
causing serious damage to your barbecue.
