Before Using The Grill; Catch Pan And Disposable Drip Pan; Cooking On Your Electric Grill - Weber Q140 Owner's Manual

CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN

Your grill was built with a grease collection system. Check the catch pan and disposable
drip pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill.
Remove excess grease with a plastic spatula; see illustration. When necessary, wash
the catch pan and drip pan with a soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water.
Replace the disposable drip pan as needed.
m WARNING: Check the catch pan and disposable drip pan for
grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to
avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can cause serious bodily
injury or damage to property.
m CAUTION: Do not line the slide out grease tray with
aluminum foil.
(Q240) - Make sure that disposable drip pan (a) rests flat on catch pan (b). A bent drip
pan may interfere with removal of catch pan.
COOKING
To preheat the grill: Turn on the Weber
barbecue according to the cooking Instructions in this
owners' manual. Close the lid and turn the Heating
Element Control Knob to High. Preheat the grill for
15 minutes (Q140) or 20 minutes (Q240); longer
preheating time will depend on conditions such as air
temperature and wind. Allow 5 more minutes of preheat
time in countries where voltage is 220 volts.
Note: Wind and weather may require adjustment of
the Temperature Control Knob to obtain the correct
cooking temperature.
