WARRANTY 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, 25 years, Cooking Grates and Flavorizer Bars, 7 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.
STANDARDS AND CODES INFORMATION 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 you if you move.
LIGHTING EACH HEAT ZONE OPERATES INDEPENDENTLY. 1) Open the lid. Figure 1. Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel. 2) Check that the fuel scale reads more than “E”. Note - E = empty; F = full. 3) Make sure all burner control knobs are OFF. (Push each burner control knob down and turn clockwise.) High Medium Low WARNING: The b urner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the LP tank valve.
MANUAL LIGHTING EACH HEAT ZONE OPERATES INDEPENDENTLY. High Medium Low DANGER When the excess flow control is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the tank and burner control knobs,wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
COOKING CLEANING The Weber Gas Barbecue should not be moved when operating or hot. CAUTION: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and wait for it to cool before cleaning. High Medium Low CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or cooking grills in a self-cleaning oven. Replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are available through your retailer or the Weber-Stephen Customer Service Center. Off You can adjust the LEFT and RIGHT burners as desired.
USING THE STEAM-N-CHIPS SMOKER The Steam-N-Chips Smoker cooks with both Weber FireSpice Wood Chips and Chunks. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using the FireSpice Chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time.
MAINTENANCE Spider Stopper Guards We recommend that you inspect the Spider Stopper Guards at least once a year. Also inspect and clean the Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following symptoms should ever occur. Your Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 5.
