ƽ Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue.
ƽ Your Weber ® gas barbecue should never be used by children. Accessible parts of the barbecue may
be very hot. Keep young children away while it is in use.
ƽ You should exercise reasonable care when operating your Weber

ƽ Do not enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.
ƽ The Weber ® gas barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
ƽ Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid
propane unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.

of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

® gas barbecue.
ƽ Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in
operation.
ƽ A dented or rusty liquid propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your liquid
propane supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.
ƽ Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the
cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
ƽ If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the liquid propane cylinder:
1. Move away from liquid propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.
