for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling for the firsttime.
Every Time You Grill
Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
The Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan includes the
following simple, yet important, steps that should
always be performed prior to grilling.
Check for Grease
Your grill was built with a grease management
system that funnels grease away from food and into a
disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled
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 grill to preventfires.
1. Confirm that the grill is o and cool.
2. Remove the slide-out grease tray by pulling the tray
out of the cabinet (A). Remove excess grease with a
plastic scraper.
3. Remove the catch pan by pressing down on the catch
pan latch (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.
4. Reinstall all components.
Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.
1. Confirm that the grill 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 grill.
Preheat the Grill
Preheating the grill is critical to successful grilling.
Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the
grate and gets the grate hot enough to sear properly.
Italso burns o residue of a previously cooked meal.
1. Open the grill lid.
2. Ignite your grill according to the ignition instructions
in this Owner's Manual.
3. Close lid.
4. Preheat the grill with all burners on the start/high
position for 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer
registers 500° F (260° C)(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 grill
brush immediately after preheating (E).
m DANGER: Do not line the slide-out grease tray
or cookbox with aluminum 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 heat-resistant barbecue mitts
or gloves when operating grill.
m WARNING: Grill 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 grill brush at the beginning of every
spring.
m WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged
in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using
only WEBER authorized replacement hose.
m WARNING: Keep ventilation openings around
tank clear and free of debris.
