Thank you for purchasing a WEBER product. Weber-Stephen Products
LLC, 1415 S. Roselle Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067 (“WEBER”) prides
itself on delivering a safe, durable, and reliableproduct.
This is WEBER’s Voluntary Warranty provided to you at no extra
charge. It contains the information you will need to have your WEBER
product repaired in the unlikely event of a failure or defect.
Pursuant to applicable laws, the customer has several rights in
case the product is defective. Those rights include supplementary
performance or replacement, abatement of the purchasing price,
and compensation. In the European Union, for example, this would
be a two-year statutory warranty starting on the date of the
handover of the product. These and other statutory rights remain
unaected by this warranty provision. In fact, this warranty grants
additional rights to the Owner that are independent from statutory
warranty provisions.
WEBER’S VOLUNTARY WARRANTY
WEBER warrants, to the purchaser of the WEBER product (or in the
case of a gift or promotional situation, the person for whom it was
purchased as a gift or promotional item), that the WEBER product is
free from defects in material and workmanship for the period(s) of
time specified below when assembled and operated in accordance
with the accompanying Owner’s Manual. (Note: If you lose or
misplace your WEBER Owner’s Manual, a replacement is available
online at www.weber.com, or such country-specific website to which
Owner may be redirected.) Under normal, private single family
home or apartment use and maintenance, WEBER agrees within the
framework of this warranty to repair or replace defective parts within
the applicable time periods, limitations, and exclusions listed below.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WARRANTY
IS EXTENDED ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE TO SUBSEQUENT OWNERS, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF
GIFTS AND PROMOTIONAL ITEMS AS NOTED ABOVE.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS WARRANTY
To ensure trouble-free warranty coverage, it is important (but it
is not required) that you register your WEBER product online at
www.weber.com, or such country-specific website to which Owner
may be redirected. Please also retain your original sales receipt and/
or invoice. Registering your WEBER product confirms your warranty
coverage and provides a direct link between you and WEBER in case
we need to contact you.
The above warranty only applies if the Owner takes reasonable
care of the WEBER product by following all assembly instructions,
usage instructions, and preventative maintenance as outlined in the
accompanying Owner’s Manual, unless the Owner can prove that the
defect or failure is independent of non-compliance with the above
mentioned obligations. If you live in a coastal area, or have your
product located near a pool, maintenance includes regular washing
and rinsing of the exterior surfaces as outlined in the accompanying
Owner’s Manual.
WARRANTY HANDLING / EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY
If you believe that you have a part which is covered by this Warranty,
please contact WEBER Customer Service using the contact
information on our website (www.weber.com, or such country-
specific website to which Owner may be redirected). WEBER will,
upon investigation, repair or replace (at its option) a defective
part that is covered by this Warranty. In the event that repair or
replacement are not possible, WEBER may choose (at its option) to
replace the grill in question with a new grill of equal or greater value.
WEBER may ask you to return parts for inspection, shipping charges
to be pre-paid.
This WARRANTY lapses if there are damages, deteriorations,
discolorations, and/or rust for which WEBER is not responsible
caused by:
• Abuse, misuse, alteration, modification, misapplication, vandalism,
neglect, improper assembly or installation, and failure to properly
perform normal and routine maintenance;
• Insects (such as spiders) and rodents (such as squirrels), including
but not limited to damage to burner tubes and/or gas hoses;
• Exposure to salt air and/or chlorine sources such as swimming
pools and hot tubs/spas;
• Severe weather conditions such as hail, hurricanes, earthquakes,
tsunamis or surges, tornadoes or severe storms.
The use and/or installation of parts on your WEBER product that are
not genuine WEBER parts will void this Warranty, and any damages
that result hereby are not covered by this Warranty. Any conversion
of a gas grill not authorized by WEBER and performed by a WEBER
authorized service technician will void this Warranty.

DESIGN CHANGES INTO PREVIOUSLY MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS,

THAT PREVIOUS DESIGNS WERE DEFECTIVE.
