Cooking

mWARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue when operating or hot.

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.

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

Storage and/or Nonuse

■When storing the Weber Gas Barbecue, make sure that the inside shut off valve and/or locking outdoor shut off valve is secured in the OFF position. When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

■After a period of storage and/or nonuse the Weber Gas Grill 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.")

Periodic Cleaning

mWARNING: 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.

1000 SERIES specifications

The Weber 1000 Series grills are a popular choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts, delivering a combination of performance, durability, and innovative features. Designed to cater to both beginners and experienced grillers, the 1000 Series elevates cooking experiences with its user-friendly interface and high-quality manufacturing.

One of the standout features of the Weber 1000 Series is its powerful heating capability. Equipped with Weber's signature burners, these grills provide even heat distribution for consistent cooking results. The high-BTU gas burners ensure quick preheating and maintain steady temperatures, allowing users to sear steaks or grill vegetables to perfection.

The construction of the 1000 Series is robust, typically featuring a stainless steel main body that stands up to the weather elements, providing longevity and resistance to rust. The grills are designed for easy maintenance, with removable grease trays that make clean-up a breeze. Additionally, the enameled cast-iron cooking grates are not only durable but also contribute to excellent heat retention, giving food those coveted grill marks.

Another key technology incorporated in the Weber 1000 Series is the Flavorizer bars. These angled bars sit above the burners and catch drippings that can cause flare-ups. By converting these drippings into flavorful smoke, the Flavorizer bars enhance the taste of the grilled food. This feature is particularly appreciated by those who enjoy rich, smoky flavors in their dishes.

The series often includes features such as side tables for extra workspace, ensuring that you have enough room for food preparation and grilling tools. Some models also come with built-in thermometers that allow for precise temperature monitoring without lifting the lid, which helps to maintain cook times and prevents heat loss.

In terms of mobility, Weber 1000 Series grills often come equipped with wheels, making it easy to move the grill around your patio or backyard. With different configurations available, including both propane and natural gas options, users can choose the fuel type that best fits their grilling needs.

In conclusion, the Weber 1000 Series stands out for its combination of power, durability, and innovative features that simplify grilling while enhancing flavor. Whether you are hosting a backyard barbecue or having an intimate family dinner, the 1000 Series offers the performance and reliability that every grill master seeks.
