Thank you for purchasing a WEBER
®
product. Weber-Stephen
Products LLC, 200 East Daniels Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067-6266
(“Weber”) prides itself on delivering a safe, durable, and reliable
product.
This is Weber’s Voluntary Warranty provided to you at no extra
charge. It contains the information you will need to have your
WEBER
®
product repaired in the unlikely event of a failure or defect.
Pursuant to applicable laws, the customer has several rights in
case the product is defective. Those rights include supplementary
performance or replacement, abatement of the purchasing price,
and compensation. In the European Union, for example, this
would be a two-year statutory warranty starting on the date of the
handover of the product. These and other statutory rights remain
unaffected by this warranty provision. In fact, this warranty grants
additional rights to the Owner that are independent from statutory
warranty provisions.
WEBER’S VOLUNTARY WARRANTY
Weber warrants, to the purchaser of the WEBER
®
product (or in
the case of a gift or promotional situation, the person for whom
it was purchased as a gift or promotional item), that the WEBER
®
product is free from defects in material and workmanship for the
period(s) of time specified below when assembled and operated
in accordance with the accompanying Owner’s Guide. (Note: If
you lose or misplace your WEBER
®
Owner’s Guide, a replacement
is available online at www.weber.com, or such country-specific
website to which Owner may be redirected.) Under normal, private
single family home or apartment use and maintenance, Weber
agrees within the framework of this warranty to repair or replace
defective parts within the applicable time periods, limitations
and exclusions listed below. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WARRANTY IS EXTENDED ONLY TO
THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO
SUBSEQUENT OWNERS, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GIFTS AND
PROMOTIONAL ITEMS AS NOTED ABOVE.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS WARRANTY
To ensure trouble-free warranty coverage, it is important (but it is
not required) that you register your WEBER
®
product online at www.
weber.com, or such country-specific website to which Owner may
be redirected). Please also retain your original sales receipt and/or
invoice. Registering your WEBER
®
product confirms your warranty
coverage and provides a direct link between you and Weber in case
we need to contact you.
The above warranty only applies if the Owner takes reasonable
care of the WEBER
®
product by following all assembly instructions,
usage instructions, and preventative maintenance as outlined in the
accompanying Owner’s Guide, unless the Owner can prove that the
defect or failure is independent of non-compliance with the above
mentioned obligations. If you live in a coastal area, or have your
product located near a pool, maintenance includes regular washing
and rinsing of the exterior surfaces as outlined in the accompanying
Owner’s Guide.
WARRANTY HANDLING / EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY
If you believe that you have a part which is covered by this Warranty,
please contact Weber Customer Service using the contact
information on our website (www.weber.com, or such country-
specific website to which Owner may be redirected). Weber will,
upon investigation, repair or replace (at its option) a defective
part that is covered by this Warranty. In the event that repair or
replacement are not possible, Weber may choose (at its option)
to replace the grill in question with a new grill of equal or greater
value. Weber may ask you to return parts for inspection, shipping
charges to be pre-paid.
This WARRANTY lapses if there are damages, deteriorations,
discolorations and/or rust for which Weber is not responsible
caused by:
• Abuse, misuse, alteration, modification, misapplication,
vandalism, neglect, improper assembly or installation, and failure
to properly perform normal and routine maintenance;
• Insects (such as spiders) and rodents (such as squirrels),
including but not limited to damage to burner tubes and/or gas
hoses;
• Exposure to salt air and/or chlorine sources such as swimming
pools and hot tubs/spas;
• Severe weather conditions such as hail, hurricanes, earthquakes,
tsunamis or surges, tornadoes or severe storms.
The use and/or installation of parts on your WEBER
®
product
that are not genuine Weber parts will void this Warranty, and any
damages that result hereby are not covered by this Warranty. Any
conversion of a gas grill not authorized by Weber and performed by
a Weber authorized service technician will void this Warranty.
