Gas Line Piping
General Specifications for Piping
I If the length of the 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.
I Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;
polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall
thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule
40) steel or wrought iron pipe.
Note - Contact your local municipality for building
codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue
installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must
confirm to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1.WE
RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE
BY A PROFESSIONAL.
Some of the following are general requirements taken
from ANISI Z223.1 latest edition for complete
specifications.
I Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains
more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic
feet of gas.
I This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of
water column pressure (.2526 psi).
I Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor,
underground use.
I A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,
immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.
I An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should
be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible
location near the supply line
I Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other
material which may corrode the piping, must be
protected against corrosion in an approved manner.
I Underground piping must have a minimum of 18"
cover
I The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT
thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect
fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically
shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the
barbecue is disconnected
Test Connections
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested
for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed
procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1
I The quick disconnect fitting can be installed
horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting
with the open end pointing upward can result in
collecting water and debris.
I The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep
the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean
while disconnected.
I Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to
the action of natural gas when connections are made.
I The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to
rigid, permanent construction.
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.

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 sear 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.
ƽ CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® Bars or
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.
For availability of replacement cooking grates and
Flavorizer Bars contact the Customer Service
Representative in your region using the contact
information sheet provided with your manual.

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.
Stainless steel surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and
a soap and water solution.
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.
ƽ CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not
in use. Do not leave thermometer in food while
cooking.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off
all burners and wait five minutes before relighting.
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 500°
and 550° F (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 flavorful 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.
Thermoset surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a
soap and water solution.
ƽ 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.
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral
spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.
Thermoset work surfaces are not to be used as
cutting boards.
Storage
I When storing the Weber Gas Barbecue, make sure
that the inside shut-off valve and/or locking outdoor
shut-off valve is secured in the OFF position. When the

General Maintenance
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 Venturi(1). This
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to
flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control
panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
4) Dark blue

If the flames do not appear to be uniform throughout
the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless
steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and other insects
access to the burner tubes through the air shutter
openings.
Main Burner Cleaning Procedure
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.
Look inside each burner with a flashlight.
(1)
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a
straightened-out coat hanger will work). Check and
clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the
burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base
of the valves. Use a brass bristle brush to clean
outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner
ports are fully open.
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:
CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when
cleaning.
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.
ƽ 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.
