12 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Your Weber® gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber® gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that “outdoor” flavor in the food.

The Weber® gas barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber® gas barbecue with, if you move.

Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.

•These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your Weber® gas barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.

•Not for use by children.

•If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to them. Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.

GRILLING METHODS

Note: If grill loses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

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

You can adjust the individual main burners as desired. The control settings are START/ HI, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF.

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.

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait five minutes before relighting.

Sear Station™ - Your Weber® gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing thin meats and fish. The Sear Station™ burner has an on or off control setting 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.

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 “START/HI”. 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.

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

WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas barbecue off and wait for it to cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.
