Practise Family Q® safety
• Follow the instructions in your Weber
Family Q owner's manual for safe lighting
and operating your barbecue.
• Keep your barbecue at least 60 cm from any
combustible materials, including your house,
garage, deck railing, etc.
• Never use a barbecue indoors – that includes
a garage or enclosed patio.
• Keep sleeves and garments at a safe distance
from the heat.
• If for some reason you ever have a fat fire,
turn off the gas at the bottle and open the lid,
then stand away. Never pour water on a fat
fire.
• Never use the barbecue on a boat. Bottled
gas is denser than air and can accumulate in
the bottom of the boat.
• Keep children and pets a safe distance away
from the barbecue when it is hot.
• When you've finished cooking, turn off the
barbecue at the burner control and at the
gas bottle. If your barbecue is on natural gas
turn off the barbecue at the burner control
knob and disconnect the hose at the bayonet
fitting.
• Before you start cooking, check and empty
any accumulated fat from the aluminium tray
located below the barbecue.
Food safety
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap
and hot water before starting any meal
preparation, and after handling fresh meat,
fish or poultry.
• Thoroughly defrost foods in the refrigerator,
not on the bench top.
• Use a clean spatula or tongs to remove food
from the barbecue.
• Never place cooked food on the platter that
was used to carry the uncooked food to the
barbecue.
• Always cook minced meats until they are at
least medium (68°C internal temperature)
and poultry until well done (74°C).
