Your Weber

gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber

gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are diffi cult to
duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer

Bars produce
that “outdoor” fl avor in the food.

move.

charcoal fuel.

COOKING
WARNING: Do not move the Weber
®

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.
