WARNING! Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.

WARNING! Do not use the barbecue in a confined and/or habitable space e.g. houses, tents, caravans, motor homes, boats. Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning fatality.

DANGERS

Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway, or any other enclosed area.

Do not add charcoal starter fluid or charcoal impregnated with charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm charcoal. Put the cap on starter fluid after use, and place a safe distance away from the barbecue.

Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapour and liquids, such as petrol, alcohol, etc., and combustible material.

WARNINGS

Do not use this barbecue unless all parts are in place. This barbecue must be properly assembled according to the assembly instructions. Improper assembly may be dangerous.

Never use this barbecue without the ash catcher installed.

Do not use this barbecue under any overhead combustible construction.

The use of alcohol or prescription or nonprescription drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the barbecue.

Exercise caution when operating the barbecue. It will be hot during cooking or cleaning, and should never be left unattended.

Do not use petrol, alcohol, or other highly volatile fluids to ignite charcoal. If using charcoal starter fluid (not recommended), be aware that fluid can collect in the ash catcher and ignite, resulting in a fire below the bowl. Remove starter fluid from the ash catcher before lighting charcoal.

This barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

Do not use this barbecue within five feet (1.5 m) of any combustible material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, and porches.

Keep the barbecue on a secure, level surface at all times, clear of combustible material.

Do not place barbecue on glass or a combustible surface.

Do not use barbecue in high winds.

Do not wear clothing with loose flowing sleeves while lighting or using the barbecue.

Never touch the cooking or charcoal grate, ashes, charcoal, or the barbecue to see if they are hot.

Extinguish charcoal when finished cooking. To extinguish, close bowl vent and lid damper and place lid on bowl.

Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves (conforming to EN 407, Contact Heat rating level 2 or greater) while cooking, adjusting air vents (dampers), adding charcoal, and handling thermometer or lid.

Use proper tools, with long, heat-resistant handles.

Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal (lower) grate. Do not put charcoal directly in the bottom of the bowl.

Never dump hot charcoal where it might be stepped on or be a fire hazard. Never

dump ashes or charcoal before they are fully extinguished.

Do not store the barbecue away until ashes and charcoal are fully extinguished.

Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely burned out and fully extinguished and the barbecue is cool.

Keep electrical wires and cords away from the hot surfaces of the barbecue and away from high traffic areas.

CAUTIONS

Do not use water to control flare-ups or to extinguish charcoal.

Lining the bowl with aluminium foil will obstruct the air flow. Instead, use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat when cooking using the indirect method.

Barbecue brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on the cooking grate or brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle barbecue brush at the beginning of every spring.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Do not hang the lid on the bowl handle.

COOKING SYSTEM

Extensive thought was put into how your charcoal barbecue was designed. We design our barbecues to perform so that you never have to worry about flare-ups, hot and cold spots, or burnt food.

Expect excellent performance, control, and results every time.

A Bowl and Lid

Every WEBER charcoal barbecue is made with a baked-on porcelain-enamel coated steel bowl and lid. This is important because it means it will never peel or flake. The reflective surface provides convection cooking, so that the heat radiates around the food much like an indoor oven providing you with even cooking results.

C

	B Dampers and Vents	D
	A big factor in charcoal barbecuing is air. The
	more air that you allow into the barbecue, the	A
	hotter the internal temperature will be until the
	fuel has been maximized. During cooking, you
	can control the internal barbecue temperature	B
	by easily adjusting the lid and bowl
	dampers. To ensure a high internal barbecue
	temperature for direct method cooking, be sure	E
	that the bowl and lid vents are fully open. If
	your intention is to cook indirectly or smoke
	foods at lower temperatures, you can close
	the lid and bowl dampers as much as halfway.
	Closing the dampers completely will cut off
	oxygen flow and will eventually extinguish the
	coals.

C Cooking Grate

Made of heavy-duty plated steel, the cooking grate provides ample area to make all of your favourite meals.

D Charcoal Grate

The charcoal grate has what it takes to withstand the heat of any charcoal fire. Made of heavy-duty steel, this durable grate will not warp or burn through. Additionally, it gives you enough space for direct or indirect cooking, providing you with the flexibility to cook the way you want.

E ONE-TOUCH Cleaning System

The ONE-TOUCH cleaning system makes cleanup hassle free. As you move the handle back and forth, the three blades in the bowl move ash from the bottom of the barbecue into the ash catcher. These same vents act as a bowl damper, to help bring oxygen up to the fire or to allow you to easily extinguish the fire.
