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.

assembling your Weber
®
gas barbecue. Please read the instructions
carefully before using your Weber

gas barbecue. Improper assembly
can be dangerous.
