Cooking
ƽ WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas
Barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the FRONT 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 and BACK
burners. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all
burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you
would set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to
your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
Note: The temperature 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. Such as wind and weather, may
require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain
the correct cooking temperatures.
ƽ 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 five minutes before relighting.
Preheating - Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy-
efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low
BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn
all burners to high (HH). 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 correct amount of drippings
for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will
accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom
tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the
catch pan.
ƽ WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease
build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the slide out bottom tray.
Cleaning
ƽ WARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF
and wait for it to cool before cleaning.
ƽ CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® Bars or
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.
