Weber-Stephen Products Co. (Weber) hereby
warrants to the ORIGINAL PURCHASER of this
Weber Gas Barbecue that it will be free of
defects in material and workmanship from the
date of purchase as follows:

Aluminum Castings, 10 years,
Recycled Work Surfaces, 10 years,
Cooking Grates and Flavorizer Bars, 3 years,
All Remaining Parts, 5 years,

when assembled and operated in accordance
with the printed instructions accompanying it.

Weber may require reasonable proof of your
date of purchase. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD
RETAIN YOUR SALES SLIP OR INVOICE.

This Limited Warranty shall be limited to the
repair or replacement of parts which prove
defective under normal use and service and
which on examination shall indicate, to Weber's
satisfaction, they are defective. Before returning
any parts, contact Weber-Stephen Products Co.
Customer Service Center. If Weber confirms the
defect and approves the claim, Weber will elect
to replace such parts without charge. If you are
required to return defective parts, transportation
charges must be prepaid. Weber will return parts
to the purchaser, freight or postage prepaid.

This Limited Warranty does not cover any failures
or operating difficulties due to accident, abuse,
misuse, alteration, misapplication, vandalism,
improper installation or improper maintenance or
service, or failure to perform normal and routine
maintenance, including but not limited to damage
caused by insects within the burner tubes, as set
out in this owner's manual.

Deterioration or damage due to severe weather
conditions such as hail, hurricanes, earthquakes
or tornadoes, discoloration due to exposure to
chemicals either directly or in the atmosphere, is
not covered by this Limited Warranty.

There are no other express warrants except as
set forth herein and any applicable implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness are
limited in duration to the period of coverage of
this express written Limited Warranty. Some
states do not allow limitation on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not
apply to you.

Weber is not liable for any special, indirect or
consequential damages. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so this limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.

Weber does not authorize any person or
company to assume for it any other obligation or
liability in connection with the sale, installation,
use, removal, return, or replacement of its
equipment; and no such representations are
binding on Weber.

This Warranty applies only to products sold 
at retail.
