SAFETY CHECKS BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE
When you are getting ready to barbecue,
your first thought should always be safety.
Following are a few safety checks that you
should perform each time you barbecue.
SLIDE-OUT GREASE TRAY
Your barbecue was built with a grease collection system,
which funnels grease away from food and into removable
containers.
Check the slide-out grease tray for grease build-up each
time you use your barbecue. Remove excess grease with a
plastic scraper (1). Wash the grease tray with a soap and
water solution and rinse with water.
m CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out
grease tray with aluminium foil.
CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN
Grease from the slide-out grease tray funnels into a
catch pan. Cleaning the catch pan is just as important as
cleaning the slide-out grease tray.
Check the catch pan for grease build-up each time you
use your barbecue. Remove excess grease with a plastic
scraper (2). Wash the catch pan with warm, soapy water
and rinse with water. To keep the catch pan cleaner
longer, you can line it with a Weber
®
disposable drip pan
or with aluminium foil.
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. A grease fire can
cause serious bodily injury or damage to
property.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of
cracking (3).
m WARNING: Check hose before each
use of barbecue for nicks, cracking,
abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to
be damaged in any way, do not use the
barbecue. Replace using only Weber
authorized replacement hose. Contact
the Customer Service Representative
