IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES:  
FEATURES:  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is equipped with a new and  
improved LP tank connection, that has additional  
safety features. They are:  
a) Convenient tables and racks.  
b) Heavy gauge porcelain-on-steel lid seals in heat.  
c) Rapid read thermometer for precision cooking  
measures grill temperature, and can be removed and  
inserted into the food.  
1. The connection of the barbecue to the LP tank can be  
made without the use of tools.  
2. The new connection will not permit the flow of gas  
until a positive gas connection is made.  
d) Heavy gauge steel Flavorizer Bars distribute heat  
within the grill. Flavorizer Bars heat just the right  
amount of drippings for flavoring, letting excess fat  
drip past to help prevent flare-ups.  
3. If an accidental fire occurs at the LP tank connection,  
the flow of gas is stopped by a temperature activated  
shutoff.  
e) Separate burners for temperature control.  
4. If the LP supply hose becomes damaged, cut,  
punctured, or accidentally fire damaged, the barbecue  
connection is equipped with an excess flow control  
that will limit the flow of gas if leakage or a fire occurs.  
f) Crossover Ignition System with Gas Catcher Ignition  
Chamber.  
g) Fuel scale indicates LP gas supply.  
h) Catch pan catches excess grease.

General Instructions  
Storage  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives  
you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.  
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.  
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.  
Operating area  
Not for use by children.  
ƽWARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a  
well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,  
breezeway or any other enclosed area.  
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.  
Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue under an  
unprotected combustible roof or overhang.  
The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber  
Gas Barbecue must be used. This regulator is set  
for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).  
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be  
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.  
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 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.  
Do not use with charcoal fuel.  
Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply  
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.  
hose away from any heated surface.  
Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors  
and liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and  
combustible materials.  
The area around the LP tank must be free and clear  
from debris.  
Never store an extra (spare) LP tank under or near  
the Weber Gas Barbecue.  
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).

Step 13  
Set LP fuel scale  
You will need: LP tank (empty).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
ƽWARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be  
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified  
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.  
ƽCAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from  
tank scale.  
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.  
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of  
times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.  
ƽWARNING: 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.

Check for gas leaks  
ƽ DANGER  
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a)  
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for  
leaks with soap and water solution.  
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.  
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).  
ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every  
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.  
ƽWARNING: 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.  
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.  
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF  
and rinse connections with water.  
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your  
barbecue was dealer or store assembled.  
(a)  
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.  
(b)  
(c)  
Figure 19  
Figure 18  
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.  
(d)  
ƽWARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

Cooking  
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.  
ƽWARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue  
when operating or 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 sear steaks you would  
use (HH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you  
would use (MM) (FRONT at medium, 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  
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.  
any obstructions. (See Section "Annual Maintenance.")  
Periodic Cleaning  
ƽCAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in  
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.  
ƽWARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and

Service Center.  
Preheating  
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 (HH).  
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.  
Flavorizer Bars and Cooking Grates- Clean with a  
suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill  
and 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.

Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s)  
Safe handling tips for LP Gas  
The LP tank and connections supplied with your  
Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested  
to meet government, American Gas Association and  
Underwriters Laboratories requirements.  
Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are  
gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular  
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate  
pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the  
pressure is released the liquid readily vaporizes and  
becomes gas.  
Replacement LP tanks supplied by Weber satisfy the  
requirements. Check to be sure the tank has a D.O.T.  
certification, and has been tested within five years.  
Your LP gas supplier can do this for you. Figure 7.  
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should  
know this odor.  
If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please  
call Weber-Stephen Customer Service.  
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect  
in low areas that prevent dispersion.  
To fill, take the LP tank to an RV center, or look up  
gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of  
LP gas.  
D.O.T. Certification (example)  
ƽWARNING: 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.  
DOT 4BA240

ƽWARNING: 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.  
20 lb LP tank  
Date Tested  
Air must be removed from a new LP tank before the  
initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.  
Figure 7  
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored  
in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped  
or handled roughly.  
All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to  
protect the tank valve.  
The LP tank must be a 20 lb size (18 1/4 inches high,  
Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures  
can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example:  
do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).  
12 1/4 inches in diameter).  
The LP tank must be constructed and marked in  
accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders  
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).  
Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at  
normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane  
supply so you can refill before running out. You do not  
have to run out before you refill.  
Treat "empty" LP tanks 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 tank valve before disconnecting.  
Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP  
tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be  
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one  
immediately.  
The joint where the hose connects to the LP tank must  
be leak tested each time the LP tank is reconnected.  
For example, test each time the LP tank is refilled.  
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent  
hole pointed downward so it will not collect water. This  
vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

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 11.  
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 9. This could result in a  
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel,  
causing serious damage to your barbecue.
