Cooking
The Weber Gas Barbecue should not be moved
when operating or hot.
You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK
burners as desired. The control settings High (H),
Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your
cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to
describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and
BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would
use (HHH) (all burners at high). Then to complete
cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT at medium,
CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your
cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
Note: The temperatures inside your cooking box, for
the first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective,
may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook.
Cooking conditions may require the adjustment of the
burner controls to attain the correct cooking
temperatures.
CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while
cooking.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off
all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Preheating - Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy
efficient appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for
economy. To preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all
burners to high (HHH). Preheating to between 500° and
550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes
depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer Bars are
designed to "smoke" the right amount of drippings for
flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease
accumulate in the catch pan under the bottom tray.
Disposable foil liners are available to fit the catch pan.
CAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease build-
up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid
a grease fire in the bottom tray.
Storage and/or Nonuse
■ The gas must be turned off at the LP tank when the
Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.
■ When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors,
the gas supply must be DISCONNECTED and the
LP tank stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
■ LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of reach of children.
Disconnected LP tanks must have threaded valve
plugs tightly installed and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
■ When the LP tank is not disconnected from the
Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP tank
must be kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
Storage and/or Nonuse continued
■ The Weber Gas Barbecue should be checked for
gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes
before using. (See Sections "General and Annual
Maintenance.")
■ Check that the areas under the control panel and
the bottom tray are free from debris that might
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
■ The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked
for any obstructions. (See Section "Annual
Maintenance.")
