Cooking; Cleaning - Weber Genesis Silver-A Owner's Manual

Cooking

WARNING: Do not move the Weber
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 Weber
cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to
describe the settings of the FRONT and BACK burners.
For example, to brown 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
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.
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 five minutes before relighting.
Preheating - Your Weber
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 260° and
290°C will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on
conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer
designed to "smoke" the correct amount of drippings for
flavourful 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.
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.
