With the Weber electric barbecue you can grill, barbecue,
®
roast and bake with results that are difficult to duplicate
with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid produces
that "outdoor" flavour in the food. Electricity is easy to use
and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.
• These instructions will give you the minimum
requirements for assembling your Weber
barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully
before using your Weber ® electric barbecue. Improper
assembly can be dangerous.
• Not for use by children.
• This Weber ® electric barbecue is not intended for
commercial use.
• Do not leave the Weber ® electric barbecue unattended
when it is in use.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be
altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
• Visually inspect cord, plug and Temperature Controller
for damage and wear before operation.
• When heating the grill for the first time, it may give off
a slight burning odor. The grill is burning off excess
lubricants found on the heating element. This does not
affect the safety of your grill.
• To prevent fire or electric shock, always use a certified
electrician should new circuits or outlets be required.
• Improperly grounded outlets could cause electrical
shock.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
If you must use an extension cord, use the shortest
length extension cord possible. Do not connect 2 or
more extension cords together. Keep connections off
the ground and dry. Do not let cord hang over edge
of table top where it can be tripped over or pulled by
children. Only use extension cord labeled for outdoor
use.
• Cover grill or store in weather protected area when not
in use.
• Clean the grate and cookbox between uses.
