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 that works with
the two adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively
sear meats while using other cooking areas for cooking with moderate heat.
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
“START/HI”. 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.
m
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.
