Weber-Stephen Products Co. (Weber) hereby warrants to the ORIGINAL 
PURCHASER of this Weber

®

 gas grill that it will be free of defects in material 

and workmanship from the date of purchase as follows:

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

Weber may require reasonable proof of your date of purchase. THERE-
FORE, YOU SHOULD RETAIN YOUR SALES SLIP OR INVOICE.
This Limited Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of parts 
that 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 the Customer service representative in your area using 
the contact information on our website. If Weber confi rms 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 diffi culties 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 ap-
plicable implied warranties of merchantability and fi tness are limited in dura-
tion to the period of coverage of this express written Limited Warranty. Some 
regions 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 
regions 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.
