GRILLING METHODS

Note: If grill loses 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 individual main burners as desired. The control settings are START/ HI, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF.

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 conditions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment 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.

Sear Station™ - Your Weber® gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing thin meats and fish. The Sear Station™ burner has an on or off control setting that works with the two adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear meats while using other cooking areas for cooking with moderate heat.

Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to “START/HI”. 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 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.

CLEANING

WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas barbecue off and wait for it to cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.

For availability of replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Log onto www.weber.com®

Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse with water.

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