GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.
• Note: The temperature inside your cooking box for the fi rst few uses, while surfaces are still very refl ective, 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.
• If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait fi ve minutes before relighting.
• Preheating – Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-effi cient 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 fl avorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fi t the catch pan.

WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fi re in the slide out bottom tray.

CLEANING

WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas barbecue OFF and wait for it to cool before cleaning.

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 area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.
Outside surfaces – Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse with water.

CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces.

• Slide out Bottom tray – Remove excess grease, then wash with warm soapy water, then rinse
• Flavorizer® bars and Cooking grates – Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with 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, then rinse.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALL GAS SUPPLY

General Specifi cations for Piping
Note – Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must confi rm 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 specifi cations.

• This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of water column pressure (.2526 psi).
• A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.
• An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line
• 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 fl ow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected
• 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.
• The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.
• Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas when connections are made.
• The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction.
  WARNING: Do not route the 10 foot hose under a deck. The hose must be visible.

Gas Line Piping

• 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.
• 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.
• Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfi de per 100 cubic feet of gas.
• Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.
• Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.
• Underground piping must have a minimum of 18″ cover

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(1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas fl ow, and can cause the gas to fl ow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fi re in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. The burner tube air shutter is fi tted with a stainless steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter 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 fl ames 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 fi re, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect screens To inspect the spider/insect screens, remove the control panel. If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove the burners for cleaning the screens.
Brush the spider/inspect screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).

CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect screens with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.

Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the spider/insect screens and burners are clean replace the burners.
If the spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, call Weber- Stephen Products Customer Service for replacement parts.
