problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.

under or near the grill.
WARNING:

if not avoided, could result in death or

handle to lift or move the grill.
m The grill should never be left unattended
or moved while in operation.
m After a period of storage and/or nonuse,
the grill should be checked for gas leaks
and burner obstructions before use.
See instructions in this owner’s guide for
correct procedures.
m Do not use the grill unless all parts are in
place. Grill must be properly assembled
according to the assembly instructions.
m Do not build this model of grill in any built-
in or slide-in construction.
m Never lean over an open grill while igniting
or cooking.
m Use heat-resistant barbecue
mitts or gloves at all times when
operating the grill.
m Use proper tools, with long, heat-resistant
handles.
m Do not place hands or fingers on the front
edge of the bowl while the grill is hot or
the lid is open.
m Use the pressure regulator that is supplied
with the grill.
m Keep any electrical supply cord and
the fuel supply hose away from any
heated surfaces.
m The use of alcohol, prescription drugs,
non-prescription drugs, or illegal drugs

m Always put charcoal on top of the fuel
grate. Do not put charcoal directly in the

dump ashes or charcoal before they are
fully extinguished.
m When cooking, the grill must be on a
level, stable surface in an area clear of
combustible material.
m Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will
obstruct the air flow. Instead, use a drip
pan to catch drippings from meat when

bristles and excessive wear on a regular
basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles
are found on cooking grate or brush.
WEBER recommends purchasing a new
