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 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.

■

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.

■

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.

■

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.

Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy 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. Please read the instructions carefully
before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Improper
assembly can be dangerous.

■

Not for use by children.

■

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.

■

WARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a
well ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.

The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber
Gas Barbecue must be used. This regulator is set
for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).
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 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.

■

Operating area

The area around the LP tank must be free and clear
from debris.

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).

■

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

■

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

■

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.

■

Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply
hose away from any heated surface.

■

Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors
and liquids, such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and
combustible materials.

Step 14

Set LP fuel scale

Fill LP tank

You will need: LP tank (empty).

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 15.

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 15 (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 15 (b).

WARNING: 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.

CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from
tank scale.

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”.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: : 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 20 (c).
d) The hose to regulator connection. Figure 20 (d).

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

WARNING: 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 at
the source and rinse connections with water.
(a)

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your
barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
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 19.

(c)

Figure 20
Figure 19
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.

(d)

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.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

Cooking
WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue
when operating or hot.
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.

■

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.

■

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.

Periodic Cleaning

CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.

WARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and
wait for it to cool before cleaning.

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all
burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

CAUTION: 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.

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
(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.
CAUTION: 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.

WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease buildup before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a
grease fire in the bottom tray.

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.

Storage and/or Nonuse
■

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.

■

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.

LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated
area out of reach of children. Disconnected LP tanks
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.

Connecting the filled LP tank

Refilling the LP tank

WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank valve is

Safe handling tips for LP Gas
■

Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s)

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.

■

LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should
know this odor.

■

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.

■

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.

■

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.

If you have questions about spare LP tanks, please
call Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
D.O.T. Certification (example)

WARNING: 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
1/97

Air must be removed from a new LP tank before the
initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

■

The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored
in an upright position. LP tanks should not be dropped
or handled roughly.

■

20 lb LP tank
Figure 7

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).

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.

Date Tested

■

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,
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.).

Stopper Guards

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.

To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control
panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their
outside surfaces. If they are dirty, brush off the outside
surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle
brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there
are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in the
fit around the burners or valves. (See Section "General
Maintenance".)

General Maintenance

Main Burner Flame Pattern

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.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure

The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits
tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube and
the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other insects
access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings.
