Cooking

You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER 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, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT at medium, CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.

Note: The temperatures 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 may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.

mCAUTION: 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 5 minutes before relighting.

Preheating

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy. To preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (HHH). 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 right amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease accumulate in the catch pan under the bottom tray. Disposable foil liners are available that fit the catch pan.

mCAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease build- up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.

After a Period of Nonuse

The Weber Gas Barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Sections General and Annual Maintenance.)

Check that the areas under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section "Annual Maintenance.")

Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Periodic Cleaning

mCAUTION: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and wait for it to cool before cleaning.

mCAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. Replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are available through your retailer or the Weber-Stephen Customer Service Center.

Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution.

mCAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain citrus products or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces.

Bottom tray - Remove excess grease and then wash with warm soapy water.

Flavorizer Bars and Cooking Grates - Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water.

Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water.

Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water, clean with plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or submerge in water.

Inside cooking box - Brush any debris off of burners tubes.

DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS (OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm soapy water.

Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent flaking due to grease build-up.

Work tables and accessory trays - Use any household cleaners on these surfaces except those that contain acid, mineral spirits or Xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.
