GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait ﬁ ve minutes before relighting. Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-efﬁ cient 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 ﬂ avorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that ﬁ t the catch pan.

 WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-up

before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease ﬁ re in the slide out bottom tray.

CLEANING

 WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas barbecue OFF and

wait for it to cool before cleaning.

cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.
