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, if you move.
Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking
control than charcoal fuel.

assembling your Weber
