Cooking
ƽ WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue
when operating or hot.
You can adjust the FRONT and BACK burners as desired.
The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off
(O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook
uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT
and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would
use (HH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you
would use (MM) (FRONT at medium, and BACK at medium).
See your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
Note: The temperatures inside your cooking box, for the
first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may
be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking
conditions may require the adjustment of the burner
controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.
ƽ
CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all
burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Preheating
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient appliance.
It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy. To preheat,
after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (HH).
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 right
amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings
and grease accumulate in the catch pan under the bottom
tray. Disposable foil liners are available that fit the catch pan.
ƽ
WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-
up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a
grease fire in the bottom tray.
Periodic Cleaning
ƽ
WARNING: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and
wait for it to cool before cleaning.
ƽ
CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. Replacement
cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are available
through your retailer or the Weber-Stephen Products
Service Center.
