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 diffi cult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid
and Flavorizer
®
bars produce that “outdoor” fl avor 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.
The natural gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control
than charcoal fuel.
These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for
assembling your Weber
®
gas barbecue. Please read the instructions
carefully before using your Weber
®
gas barbecue. Improper assembly
can be dangerous.
Not for use by children.
If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to
conform to them. If there are no local codes, you must conform to the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or
CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
