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” ﬂavour in the food.

The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your garden or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber Gas Barbecue with you if you move.

Liquid Propane (LP) gas is quicker 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. We therefore request that you read them carefully before you use the Weber gas barbecue.

•Not for use by children.

•Do not connect to natural gas supply (city gas). The valves and oriﬁces are designed exclusively for LP gas.

•Not to be used with charcoal briquettes or lava rock.

•Use only a 3kg-13kg LP gas cylinder.

•In the United Kingdom, this appliance must be ﬁtted with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a nominal output of 37 millibars. (Supplied with barbecue.)

COOKING

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

You can adjust BURNER 1, 2, and 3 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 BURNER 1, 2, and 3. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set BURNER 1 and BURNER 3 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 condi- tions such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

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 (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.

Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer® bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for ﬂavourful 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 each time before using. 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.
