COOKING
WARNING: Do not move the Weber
operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the burners as desired. The control settings: High (H), Medium (M), Low
(L), or Off (O) are described in the chart below. For example, to sear steaks, you would
set both burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you would set OUTSIDE burner
at M (medium). For more grilling tips and recipes, visit our website at www.weber.com
Note: The temperature inside your cooking box for the first few uses, while surfaces
are still very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking
conditions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls
to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

Preheating - Your Weber ® gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at
an economical/low rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn both burners to high
(H). Preheating to between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes
depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind. After preheating, adjust
control knobs to Medium or Low, or to between 350 and 450º F (177 and 232º C).
Drippings and grease - Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan
under the cookbox. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.

WARNING: Check the drip pan for grease build-up before
each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the
catch pan.
