COOKING

WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the burners as desired. The control settings: High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in the chart below. For example, to sear steaks, you would set both burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set OUTSIDE burner at M (medium). For more grilling tips and recipes, visit our website at www.weber.com®.

Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-effi cient appliance. It operates at an economical/low BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn both burners to high (H). 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. After preheating, adjust control knobs to Medium or Low, or to between 350 and 450º F (177 and 232º C).

Drippings and grease - Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the cookbox. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fi t the catch pan.

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 condi- tions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

WARNING: Check the drip pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the catch pan.
