GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

If you have questions or need advice regarding your grill or its safe operation contact the Customer Service Representative in your area. Use the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.

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 electric barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your Weber electric barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.
• 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 heating element 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.
• 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.
• Cover grill or store in weather protected area when not in use.
• Clean the grate and cookbox between uses.

STORAGE AND/OR NON-USE

• When the Weber electric barbecue is not in use, the temperature control knob with power cord should be in the "OFF" position and must be DISCONNECTED and stored indoors.

OPERATING

Your Weber electric barbecue must not be used under any combustible surface.

Your Weber electric barbecue is not intended for installation in or on recreational vehicles and caravans and/or boats.

Do not use the barbecue within 60 cm (24 in) of combustible materials, of back or sides of the grill.

The entire cooking box gets hot when in use. Do not leave unattended.

Keep any electrical power cord away from any heated surface.

Keep the cooking area clear of inflammable vapours and liquids such as petrol, kerosene, alcohol, etc., and other combustible materials.

When cooking, the appliance must be on a level, stable surface in an area clear of combustible material.

Completely unwind power cord before use. Keep cord clear of cookbox.

BEFORE USING THE DEVICE

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.

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.

Do not line the slide-out grease tray with aluminum foil.

(Q 2400 ) - 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 ON YOUR DEVICE

This appliance is rated for
220V-240V - 50/60Hz
Output: 2200 W

Completely unwind power cord. Keep cord clear of cookbox.

1. Plug temperature controller into grill.
   Always plug Temperature Controller fully into grill before plugging power cord into outlet.
2. Open Lid.
3. Make sure the control knob is turned OFF. (Turn control knob counterclockwise to ensure that it is in the OFF position.)
4. Plug in power cord into a protected outlet.
   
   The appliance should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD).
5. Before grilling, check that the electronic safety device on the temperature controller power cord is working properly.

• Press the "reset" button on the cord (I). The indicator light should turn on. Then, press the "test" button (T). The indicator light should then turn off.

If the test function fails DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com.

6. Press the "reset" button on the cord (I).
7. Preheat the grill. Turn control knob to HIGH (clockwise). The red light indicates that power is on and the heating element is heating up. The red light periodically turns on and off as the heating element adjusts to maintain temperature.
8. Close lid. Preheat time will take approximately 20 minutes.

To cook at a lower grill temperature: Preheat as outlined above. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to desired setting. Start cooking.
Reference the cooking charts at end of Owner's Guide for approximate grilling times and settings for the cuts of meats listed (adjust for conditions).

When red light is off, heating element may still be hot.

COOKING
To preheat the grill: Turn on the Weber® electric 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 20 minutes; longer preheating time will depend on conditions such as air temperature and wind. Allow five 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.

Drippings and grease: Excess drippings and grease will collect in the catch pan in the slide-out bottom tray (located on the underside of the grill). Disposable Weber drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.

Check the catch pan and the bottom of the grill for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a fire in the bottom of the grill.

Do not move the Weber electric grill when operating or while the grill is hot.

You must preheat the grill (20 minutes) before you cook on it.

A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking grate.

We suggest that you grill with the lid down. Why? Because it reduces the chance of flare-ups, and cooks your food faster and more evenly.

When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar content or other ingredients that burn easily, only brush it onto the food during the last 10 to 15 minutes of grilling.

Don't forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and clean out the drip pan under the grill.

The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times for food are meant to be guidelines rather than hard and fast rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors as wind, outside temperature and how well done the food should be cooked. Grill for the time given on the chart or to the desired degree of doneness, turning once halfway through the grilling time. Cooking times for beef and lamb are for "medium" cooking time, unless otherwise noted. Let thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees during this time.

Clean drip pan regularly.

Cooking grate - A general cleaning of the cooking grate can be done immediately following cooking. While grill is still warm brush grate with a steel bristle brush.

Grill brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush. Weber recommends purchasing a new stainless steel grill brush at the beginning of every spring.
