General Instructions 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, if you move.
General Instructions Cooking Cleaning WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot. You can adjust the FRONT 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 and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set FRONT and BACK at M (medium).

This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

Side Burner Troubleshooting Problem Check Cure Side Burner does not light. Is gas supply off? Turn supply on. Flame is low in HIGH position. Is the fuel hose bent or kinked? Straighten hose.

Maintenance Weber® Spider /Insect screens ® 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(1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube.
Maintenance CAUTION: The burner openings(1) must be positioned properly over the valve orifices(2). Check proper assembly before fastening manifold in place. Replacing Main Burners ® 1) Your Weber gas barbecue must be OFF and cool. 2) Turn gas OFF at source. 3) To remove control panel: take off the burner control knobs. Remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Lift off the control panel.
