GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

COOKING

 

WARNING: Do not move the Weber

®

 gas barbecue 

when operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the FRONT 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 and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks, 
you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would 
set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to your Weber

®

 cookbook for 

detailed cooking instructions.

Note:  The temperature inside your cooking box for the fi rst few uses, while 
surfaces are still very refl ective, 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. 

Preheating - 

Your Weber

®

 gas barbecue is an energy-effi cient 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 conditions such 
as air temperature and wind.

Drippings and grease - 

The Flavorizer

®

 bars are designed to “smoke” 

the correct amount of drippings for fl avorful cooking. Excess drippings and 
grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. 
Disposable foil drip pans are available that fi t the catch pan.

 

WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-up 

before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a 
grease fi re in the slide out bottom tray.

CLEANING

 

WARNING: Turn your Weber

®

 gas barbecue OFF and

wipe in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of 
your stainless steel.

Thermoset surfaces

Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse 
well after cleaning.
