Cooking
The Weber Genesis 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 Weber
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 Weber
cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off
all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Note - The temperatures inside your cooking box, for the
first few uses, may be hotter than those shown in your
cookbook. Adjusting the burner controls may be
necessary.
ƽCAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.
Preheating
Your Weber Genesis 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 that
fit the catch pan.
Periodic Cleaning
ƽCAUTION: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF
and wait for it to cool before cleaning.
ƽCAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. Replacement
cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are available
through your retailer or the Weber-Stephen Customer
Service Center.

ƽCAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain
