Warnings

 DANGER

Failure to follow the Dangers, Warnings and Cautions contained in this Owner’s Manual may result in
serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

 WARNINGS

 Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near this barbecue.

 Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please carefully follow the assembly instructions in this

manual.

 After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the Weber

®

 gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks

and burner obstructions before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.

 Do not operate the Weber

®

 gas barbecue if there is a gas leak present.

 Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

 Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of your

Weber

®

 gas barbecue.

 Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue.

 Your Weber

®

 gas barbecue should never be used by children. Accessible parts of the barbecue may

be very hot. Keep young children away while it is in use.

 You should exercise reasonable care when operating your Weber

®

 gas barbecue. It will be hot during

cooking or cleaning and should never be left unattended, or moved while in operation.

 Should the burners go out while in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open the lid and wait five min-

utes before attempting to relight, using the lighting instructions.

 Do not use charcoal or lava rock in your Weber

®

 gas barbecue.

 Never lean over open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of the cooking box.

 Should a grease fire occur, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.

 Do not enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.

 The Weber

®

 gas barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.

 Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid

propane unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.

 Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.

 Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.

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

 Combustion byproducts produced when using this product contain chemicals known to the state of

California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

 

Do not use this barbecue unless all parts are in place.  The unit must be properly assembled accord-
ing to the instructions outlined in the “Assembly Instruction” section of the Owner’s Guide.

LIQUID PROPANE GAS UNITS ONLY:

 Use the regulator that is supplied with your Weber

®

 gas barbecue.

 Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.

 A dented or rusty liquid propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your liquid

propane supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.

 Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the

cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.

 If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the liquid propane cylinder:

1. Move away from liquid propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.
