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 Genesis 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

The gas must be turned off at the LP tank when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in use.

When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply must be DISCONNECTED and the LP tank stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

Storage and/or Nonuse continued

LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area out of reach of children. Disconnected LP tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

When the LP tank is not disconnected from the Weber Gas Barbecue, the appliance and LP tank must be kept outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

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.")

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.
