COOKING

/k WARNING: Do not move the Weber ®gas barbecue

when operating or while barbecue is 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

Webere cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the
settings of the FRONT and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks,

you would set all burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would

set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to your Weber e cookbook for
detailed cooking instructions.

Note: The temperature 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. Such as wind and weather, may require the
adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait

five minutes before relighting.

Preheating - Your Weber _ gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It

operates at an economical low BTU rate. 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 correct amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and

grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray.
Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.

A,,WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-up

before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a

grease fire in the slide out bottom tray.

CLEANING

wait for it to cool before cleaning.
