Grilling Methods
NOTE: If grill looses 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 Left and Right burners in each burner
set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium
(M), Low (L), or Off (O).
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.
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 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
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.
