Cooking
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.
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.
ƽCAUTION: 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 that fit
the catch pan.
ƽCAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease
build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.
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.

After a Period of Nonuse

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.")
Keep the appliance area clear and free from
