.
Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on HI heat and close lid; heat
for 10 minutes, or until thermometer
registers 500°-550°F
(260°-288°C).
.
Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.
.
Grilling times in recipes are based on 70°F (20°C) weather and little or no wind. Allow
more cooking
time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking
time in extremely hot weather.
.
Grilling times can vary because of the weather, orthe
amount, size, and shape of the
food being grilled.
.
The temperature
of your gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first few uses.
.
Grilling conditions may require adjustment
of the burner controls to attain the correct
cooking temperatures.
.
In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than small
pieces of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking
grate will require more cooking time
than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers,
such as baked beans, will require
more time if grilled in a deep casserole
rather than a shallow baking pan.
.
Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a scant _Ainch
(6.4 mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against
unwanted flare-ups.
.
Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require turning or
moving to a less hot area.
.
Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling
meats to avoid losing natural
juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole fish.
.
If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn all burners off and move food to another
area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight
the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH
FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.
.
Some foods, such as a casserole
or thin fish fillets, will require a container
for grilling.
Disposable
foil pans are very convenient,
but any metal pan with ovenproof
handles
can also be used.
.
Always be sure the slide-out grease tray and catch pan are clean and free from
debris.
.
Do not line the slide-out grease tray with foil. This could prevent the grease from
flowing into the catch pan.
.
Using a timer will help to alert you when "well-done" is about to become "over-done."
Note: If grill loses heat while cooking, refer to the troubleshooting
section of this manual.

PREHEATING
Your Webe_
gas barbecue is an energy-efficient
appliance.
It operates at an economical
low BTU rate. Preheating the grill before grilling is important.
Light your grill according
to the instructions
in this Owner's Manual. To preheat: After lighting, turn all burners to
START/HI, close the lid, and heat until the temperature
reaches between
500°F and
550 ° F (260°C and 290°C), the recommended
broiling temperature.This
will take 10 to
15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature
and wind.
COVERED COOKING
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated
heat. With the
lid closed, the gas grill cooks much like a convection
oven.The
thermometer
in the lid
indicates the cooking temperature
inside the grill. All preheating
and grilling is done with
the lid down. No peeking -- heat is lost every time you lift the lid.
DRIPPINGS AND GREASE
The Flavorizer _ bars are designed to "smoke" the correct amount of drippings for
flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate
in the catch pan under
the slide-out grease tray. Disposable
foil drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.
WARNING:
Check the slide-out grease tray and catch pan
for grease build-up
before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the slide-out
grease tray.
FLAVORIZER®SYSTEM
When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer ¢ bars,
they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued
flavor. Thanks to the
unique design of the burners, Flavorizer ¢ bars, and the flexible temperature
controls,
uncontrolled
flare-ups are virtually eliminated,
because YOU control the flames. Because
of the special design of the Flavorizer ¢ bars and burners, excess fats are directed
through the slide-out grease tray into the grease catch pan. ®
SEAR STATION ®
Your Weber _ gas barbecue may include a sear burner for searing thin meats and fish.
The Sear Station ®burner has an ON or OFF control setting (2) that works with the two
adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear
meats while using other cooking areas for cooking
with moderate heat (refer to "SEAR
STATION ® IGNITION & USAGE").
