COOKING
To preheat the grill: Turn on the Weber
®
electric
barbecue according to the cooking Instructions in this
owners’ manual. Close the lid and turn the Heating
Element Control Knob to High. Preheat the grill for
15 minutes (Q140) or 20 minutes (Q240); longer
preheating time will depend on conditions such as air
temperature and wind. Allow 5 more minutes of preheat
time in countries where voltage is 220 volts.
Note: Wind and weather may require adjustment of
the Temperature Control Knob to obtain the correct
cooking temperature.
Drippings and grease: Excess drippings and grease
will collect in the catch pan in the slide-out bottom
tray (located on the underside of the grill). Disposable
Weber
