to the mounting bracket. Ensure that the heating element pins are aligned with temperature controller for proper attachment (B).
2) Route the power cable behind the gr ill, away from heated surfaces. Wrap excess cord with the cord wrap.
3) Plug the power cable into a grounded socket.
Preheat the Grill
Preheating the grill is critical to successfully using all of the grill's features, including barbecuing, steaming, smoking, and keeping food warm. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the cooking grate and gets the cooking grate hot enough to sear properly. It also burns o residue of a previously- cooked meal.
1) Preheat the grill with the control knob in the high position (C). The LED light will turn on indicating the grill is on.
2) When the temperature registers 500°F (260°C) the grill is preheated. This will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on ambient conditions.
3) To grill at a lower temperature: Preheat as outlined above. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to the desired setting. Start barbecuing.
Ambient Conditions
Grilling in a colder climate or at a higher altitude will extend your cooking time. Sustained wind will lower the grill’s internal temperature. Place grill so wind blows against the front of the grill.

Meal-to-Meal Upkeep
Keep it Clean
Accumulated dirt and grease may reduce grill performance. Factors such as altitude, wind and outside temperature can a ect cooking times.
Check for Grease Before Every Cook
Your grill was built with a grease management system that funnels grease away from fo od and into a disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled down to the slide-out catch pan and into a disp osable drip pan that lines the catch pan. T his system should be cleaned each and every time you grill in order to prevent fires.
1) Confirm that the grill is o and cool .
2) Remove the slide-out catch pan by pulling it forward (A).
3) Check for grease in the disposable drip pan that lines the slide- out catch pan. Discard disposable drip pan when necessary and replace with a newone.
4) Reinstall all components.
Clean the Cooking Grate After Preheating
After preheating, any bits of food or debris lef t over from previous use will be easier to remove. Clean cooking grates will also prevent your next meal from sticking.
1) Brush the cooking grates with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (sold separately) immediately after preheating(B).
Cleaning and Storing the Temperature Controller
When cooking is complete and the grill is o, allow the temperature controller to co ol before wiping it clean.
1) Unplug and remove temperature controller by pulling it side-to-side slightly until it releases from the mounting bracket (C).
2) Wipe down temperature controller with a microfiber cloth damp ened with water and allow to completely dry. Do not use cleaners or brushes as they will scratch the surface. Never use glass cleaners on plastic. It will damage the surface. Do not immerse in water.
3) Store the temperature controller indoors, out of the reach of children.

Tips and Hints
GrillingDo’s andDon’ts
Preheat grill each and every time.
If the cooking grates are not hot enough, the food will stick and you will likely never have a chance of searing your food properly or developing those handsome sear marks. Even if a recipe calls for medium or low heat, always preheat the grill on highest setting first.
Don’t grill on dirty grates.
Placing food onto the cooking grates before they have been cleaned is never a good idea. Left over residue on the grates acts like glue, binding it to the grates and to your food. To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s lunch, make sure that you are barbecuing on a clean cooking grate. Once the grates are preheated, use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to make a clean, smooth surface.
Be present in the process.
Before starting your grill, make sure that everything you need is within arm’s reach. Don’t forget your essential barbecuing tools, such as oiled and seasoned food, glazes or sauces and clean cooking platters for the cooked food. Having to run back to your kitchen not only means missing out on the fun, but it could also result in burning your food. French chefs call this ‘mise en place’ (meaning, ‘put in place’). We call it ‘being present’.
Create a little elbow room.
Packing too much food onto the cooking grates restricts your flexibility. Leave at least one-quarter of the cooking grates clear with plenty of space between each food item in order to get your tongs in there and easily move the food around. Sometimes barbecuing involves split-second decisions and the need to move food from one area of the grill to another. So give yourself enough room to grill.
Try not to peek.
The lid on your grill is for more than just keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it’s for preventing too much air from getting in and too much heat and smoke from getting out. When the lid is closed, the cooking grates are hotter, the cooking times are faster and the smoky tastes are stronger.
Only flip once.
What’s better than a juicy steak with a deep sear and plenty of beautifully­caramelised bits? The key to accomplishing these results is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we have the tendency to flip our food before it reaches the desired level of color and flavour. In nearly all cases, you should turn food just once. If you are moving it more than that, you are probably also opening the lid too often which causes its own set of problems. So step back and trust the grill.

Deep Cleaning and Maintenance
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
Over time, the per formance of your grill can diminish if it has not been maintained properly.
Low temperatures, uneven heat and foo d sticking to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When your grill is o and cool, start by cleaning the inside from the top down.
A thorough cleaning is recommended after every five cooks. Consistent use may require more frequent cleanings.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice ‘paint-like’ flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapours slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your grill’s lid. These deposits will eventually peel and look very similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.
1) Use a plastic scraper to remove carbonised grease
from inside the lid(A).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
If you have b een cleaning your cooking grates as recommended, the debris on your grate s should be minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your
cooking grate with a stainless steel br istle grill brush (sold separ ately) (B).
2) Take the grates out and set aside.
Note: Cooking grates are dishwasher safe.
Product Care
A
D
EB
Cleaning the Bowl Liner and Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause a fire.
It is recommended to use gloves when removing the heating element.
Do not use metal brushes to clean heating elements.
1) Remove the temperature controller.
2) Remove the heating element by removing the two
screws on the mounting bracket until the heating element releases(C).
3) Slide the heating element towards the left side
of the grill. Taking care not to bend the heating element, tilt it upwards and remove it.
4) Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris o of the
sides and bottom of the bowl liner into the op ening in the bot tom of the co okbox(D). This opening funnel s debris into the slide -out catch pan.
5) Remove and clean the slide-out catch pan. Refer to
‘Meal-to-Meal Upkeep’ (E).
The bot tom liner of the grill can be removed and washed with warm soapy water. Take care not to bend the bowl liner.
After cleaning, reinstall the bowl liner. Do not operate the grill without the bowl liner.
To reinstall the heating elements, insert the heating element s into the corresponding holes inside the front of the grill. Reattach by turning screws clockwise. Do not over-tighten.
Clean heating elements by allowing food to burn o.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL
The out side of your grill may include aluminum, stainless steel and plastic surfaces.
WEBER recommends the following methods based on the surface type:
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a grease- cutting soap. Use a microfibre cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Rinse with clear water and dr y thoroughly. Do not use paper towels. Do not use bleach or chlorinated cleaning products on stainless steel.
Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes . Pastes do not clean or p olish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.
C
Cleaning Painted Surfaces and PlasticComponents
Clean painted and plastic comp onents with grease­cutting soap. Rinse with clear water and dr y thoroughly.
Cleaning the Outside of Grills that are in Unique Environments
If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals and salt water can cause surface r usting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, for stainless steel part s only, you may want to apply a stainless steel p olish cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.
