Every Time You Barbecue
Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the
following simple, yet important, steps that should
always be performed prior to barbecuing.
Check for Grease
Your barbecue was built with a grease management
system that funnels grease away from food and into a
disposable container. As you cook, grease is channelled
down the slide-out grease tray and into a disposable
drip tray that lines the catch pan. This system should
be cleaned each and every time you barbecue to
preventfires.
1. Confirm that the barbecue is o and cool.
2. Open the doors.
3. Access the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray
towards you until it stops (A). Remove excess grease
with a plastic scraper. Scrape the grease down
through the opening in the grease tray, into the catch
pan below.
4. Remove the catch pan (B). Check for excessive
amounts of grease in the disposable drip pan that
lines the catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan
when necessary and replace with a new one.
5. Reinstall all components.
Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.
1. Confirm that the barbecue is o and cool.
2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or
cuts(C). If the hose is found to be damaged in any
way, do not use the barbecue.
Preheat the Barbecue
Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful
barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from
sticking to the grate and gets the grate hot enough to
sear properly. It also burns o any residue from the
previous meal.
1. Open the barbecue lid.
2. Ignite your barbecue according to the ignition in-
structions in this Owner’s Manual.
3. Close lid.
4. Preheat the barbecue with all burners on the start/
high
position for 15 minutes(D).
Clean the Cooking Grate
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over from
previous use will be easier to remove. Cleaned grates
will also prevent your next meal from sticking.
1. Brush the grates with a stainless steel bristle barbe-
cue brush immediately after preheating (E).
m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray
or cookbox with aluminium foil.
m DANGER: Check the slide-out grease tray and
catch pan for grease build-up before each use.
Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
m WARNING: Use caution when removing catch
pan and disposing of hot grease.
m WARNING: Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts
or gloves when operating barbecue.
m WARNING: Barbecue brushes should be
checked for loose bristles and excessive
wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any
loose bristles are found on cooking grates or
brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new
stainless steel bristle barbecue brush at the
beginning of every spring.
m WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged
in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace
using only WEBER authorized replacement
hose.
m WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around
tank clear and free of debris.
