Note: For the first few uses of your grill, the temperature inside the cookbox may be
hotter than shown in your cookbook because the surfaces of the cookbox are still
reflective. Cooking conditions, such as wind and weather, may require adjustment of
burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.
Note: If grill loses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
m WARNING: Do not move the Weber
®
gas barbecue when
operating or while barbecue is hot.
If burners go out during cooking, turn all burner knobs off and wait five minutes
before relighting.
◆
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
flavoursome cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan
under the slide-out grease tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch
pan.
m WARNING: Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan
for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the slide-out grease tray.

• Ingeneral,largecutsofmeatwillrequiremorecookingtimeperpoundthansmall
cuts of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking grate will require more cooking time than
justafewfoods.Foodsgrilledincontainers,suchasbakedbeans,willrequiremore
time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.
• Trimexcessfatfromsteaks,chopsandroasts,leavingnomorethanascant¼inch
(6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against
unwanted flare-ups.

• Ifanunwantedflare-upshouldoccur,turnallburnersoffandmovefoodtoanother
area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight
the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.

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
START/HI,closethelid,andheatuntilthetemperaturereachesbetween500°Fand
550°F(260°and288°C),therecommendedbroilingtemperature.Thiswilltake10to15
minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
