General Instructions - Weber Genesis Platinum C Owner's Manual

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
difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances.
The closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that
"outdoor" flavor 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.
This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for natural
(piped in city) gas only. Do not use liquid propane
(LP) bottled gas. The valves, orifices and hose are
for natural gas only.
Do not use with charcoal fuel.
Check that the area under the control panel and
the bottom tray are free from debris that might
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
For Installation in Canada

Burning Appliances and Equipment).
Storage
