Lighting the side burner
The side burner has a separate ignition system from the
main cooking box.
The side burner will only operate when the Front
burner is lit.
1) Open the side burner lid. Figure 3.
2) Push down and turn the side burner control
valve ON.
3) Push the side burner igniter button several times so
it clicks each time.
ƽCAUTION: Side burner flame may be difficult to see
on a bright sunny day.
ƽWARNING: If the side burner does not light:
a) Turn off the side burner control valve.
b) Wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try
again or try to light with a match.

ƽ DANGER ƽ

side burner, or not waiting 5 minutes to
allow gas to clear if the side burner does
not light, may result in an explosive
flame-up which can cause serious bodily
injury or death.
Cooking
You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners
as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M),
Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber
cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to
describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK
burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use
(HHH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you
would use (MOM) (FRONT at medium, CENTER off, and
BACK at medium). See your Weber cookbook for detailed
cooking instructions.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all
burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Note: The temperatures 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 may require the adjustment of the
burner controls to attain the correct cooking
temperatures.
ƽCAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in
use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking
Preheating
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient
appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy. To
preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to
high (HHH). Preheating to between 500° to 550° F (260°
and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on
conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Drippings and grease
The Flavorizer Bars are designed to "smoke" the right
amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess
drippings and grease accumulate in the catch pan under
the bottom tray. Disposable foil liners are available that fit
the catch pan.
ƽCAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease build-
up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid
a grease fire in the bottom tray.
