Lighting the side burner
The side burner has a separate ignition system from the main cooking box.
DANGER
Failure to open lid while igniting the side burner, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the side burner does not light, may result in an explosive
The side burner will only operate when the Front burner is lit.
1)Open the side burner lid. Figure 3.
2)Push down and turn the side burner control valve ON.
3)Push the side burner igniter button several times so it clicks each time.
CAUTION: Side burner flame may be difficult to see on a bright sunny day.
WARNING: If the side burner does not light:
a)Turn off the side burner control valve.
b)Wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.

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.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
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.
CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking
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° to 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.
CAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease build- up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.
