The porcelain enamel lid
Under the Weber® lid is where all the magic
happens. You'll discover that cooking with the lid
closed means that food cooks more quickly and
evenly than you could ever hope for on a traditional
open-top barbecue.
You'll soon ind that it's far more eficient too -
you'll save gas and money as the heat is kept in
and circulated all around your food. But best of all,
cooking with the lid down is the only way to get
that famous Weber lavour when barbecuing.
The lid on your Spirit® II is high quality steel, sealed
in gleaming porcelain enamel, so it won't rust, peel,
burn or scratch for years and years.
The GS4™ High Performance cooking system
The GS4 High Performance cooking system is what
brings your Spirit II to life. It brings together the
ignition, cooking grills, Flavorizer
tubes and the cleaning system to create the
ultimate, reliable and easy-to-use barbecue cooking
system. Here's how the system works:
Ininity
The Ininity electronic ignition system is designed
to ire up your Spirit II irst time, every time. When
the Spirit II ignition system was designed, every
component was reviewed with one question
in mind - how can this system be made more
consistent and reliable? The result is Ininity ignition.
This electronic ignition system delivers a battery-
powered repeating spark to start your barbecue.
Simply turn the gas control knob on, hit the ignition
button and you're away.
Burner tubes
The burner tubes in your new Spirit II are responsible
for delivering the heat for cooking. They're made
out of heavy duty stainless steel, built to last, and
guaranteed to provide your cooking grills with even
heat for years to come. Below the burners, you'll
ind the heat delector. The delector distributes
the airlow evenly across the cookbox, enabling the
burners to perform more eficiently.
Lighting the burners is easy - all you have to do is
ignite the burner furthest to the left by turning on
the gas and pressing the iginition button, and the
Crossover burner system will do the rest. Burners

Flavorizer bars
The Flavorizer bars rest under the cooking grills
of your Spirit II, and they're responsible for the
barbecue smoke that gives your food that unique
Weber lavour. These angled bars sit above the
burners of your barbecue, meaning they get
incredibly hot when you're cooking. As meat juices
and fat come away from your food on the grill
above, they drop onto the hot Flavorizer bars.
There it sizzles and smoulders, creating all that
wonderful barbecue smoke.
The Flavorizer bars also prevent fat dropping from
your food into the lit burners below. That means
you can cook almost anything on the grill with
minimal chance of any unwanted lare ups.
Cooking grills
The cast iron cooking grills give you an ideal surface
for cooking. The cast iron retains and conducts heat
evenly, so you'll get beautifully seared and evenly
cooked food across the entire cooking area. We
recommend that you cook everything you can, with
the exception of very fatty meat, directly on the
grill. Save the hotplate supplied with your barbecue
for things like eggs, pancakes and onion rings. By
cooking on the grills, your food will be healthier and
you'll produce better lavour, as fat and meat juices
fall onto the hot Flavorizer bars below. The cast iron
cooking grills in your Spirit II are porcelain coated
to make them rust resistant, so there's no need to
season them before use.
Cleaning system
As excess fat and juices drop safely from the
Flavorizer bars and past the burners, they're
collected in the clever Weber Spirit II cleaning
system. You may have seen barbecues with sand
traps, fat soakers or lava rocks before, but your
Spirit II is different. The angled base of the cookbox
guides fat and juices from cooking down into a
disposable aluminium pan. For anything solid that
doesn't make it to the aluminium pan and stays
inside the cookbox, use a Weber cookbox scraper
to remove it. Some of the solids may fall on the
heat delector. Keeping the heat delector clean
will enhance the cooking performance of your
barbecue. When the drip pan is nearly full, dispose
of it and replace it with a new one.
