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, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before
relighting.

WARNING: Check the bottom tray and catch pan for grease
build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a
grease fire in the bottom tray.
Preheating
Your Weber
®
gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical
low BTU rate. Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your grill according
to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. To preheat: after lighting turn all burners to

minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Covered Cooking
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the
lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid
indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is done with
the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.
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.

bars,
they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued flavor. Thanks to the
unique design of the burners, Flavorizer
®
bars and the flexible temperature controls,
uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. Because
of the special design of the Flavorizer
®
bars and burners, excess fats are directed
through the funnel-shaped bottom tray into the grease catch pan.
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
