GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
hotter than shown in your cookbook because the surfaces of the cookbox are still
reflective. Cooking conditions, such as wind and weather, may require adjustment of
burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.
If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait five minutes before
relighting.

PREHEATING
Your Weber
®
gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical
low BTU rate. Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your grill according
to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. To preheat: After lighting, turn all burners to
START/HI,closethelid,andheatuntilthetemperaturereachesbetween500°Fand
550°F(260°Cand290°C),therecommendedbroilingtemperature.Thiswilltake10to
15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
◆
COVERED COOKING
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the
lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid
indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is done with
the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.
◆
DRIPPINGS AND GREASE
The Flavorizer
®
bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for
flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under
the slide-out grease tray. Disposable foil drip pans that fit the catch pan are available.
m WARNING: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan
for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the slide-out grease tray.

m WARNING: Do not move the Weber
®
gas barbecue when
operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the individual burners as desired. The control settings (1) are OFF,
START/HI, MEDIUM, or LOW.
Note: For the first few uses of your grill, the temperature inside the cookbox may be

FLAVORIZER
®
SYSTEM
When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer
®
bars,
they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued flavor. Thanks to the
unique design of the burners, Flavorizer
®
bars, and the flexible temperature controls,
uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. Because
of the special design of the Flavorizer
®
bars and burners, excess fats are directed
through the slide-out grease tray into the grease catch pan.
◆
SEAR STATION
®
Your Weber
®
gas barbecue may include a sear burner for searing thin meats and fish.
The Sear Station
®
burner has an ON or OFF control setting (2) that works with the two
adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners, you can effectively sear
meats while using other cooking areas for cooking with moderate heat (refer to “SEAR
STATION
®
IGNITION & USAGE”).
