GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Grilling Methods

NOTE: If grill looses 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 Left and Right burners in each burner set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O).

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 adjust- ment 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. Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-ef- ﬁcient 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 condi- tions 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.
