for any obstructions. (See “Maintenance” Section.)
Cooking
ƽ WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas
Barbecue when operating or while barbecue is hot.
You can adjust the FRONT 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 and BACK
burners. For example, to sear steaks, you would set all
burners at H (high). Then to complete cooking, you
would set FRONT and BACK at M (medium). Refer to
your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions.
Cleaning
ƽ WARNING:Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF
and wait for it to cool before cleaning.
ƽ CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer® Bars or
cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.
For availability of replacement cooking grates and
Flavorizer Bars contact the Customer Service
Representative in your region using the contact
information sheet provided with your manual.
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution
to clean, then rinse with water.
ƽ CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain
citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
barbecue or cart surfaces.
Slide out Bottom tray - Remove excess grease, then
wash with warm soapy water, then rinse
Flavorizer® Bars and Cooking Grates - Clean with a
suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from
grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with
water.
Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you
can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the
catch pan, wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.
Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water; clean
with plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or
submerge in water.
Inside cooking module - Brush any debris off of
burner tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS
(OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm
soapy water and a water rinse.
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.
ƽ CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not
in use. Do not leave thermometer in food while
cooking.
If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off
all burners and wait five minutes before relighting.
Preheating - Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy-
efficient appliance. It operates at an economical low
BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn
all burners to high (HH). 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.
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 bottom
tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the
catch pan.
ƽ WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease
build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire in the slide out bottom tray.
Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper
towel to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up
grease resembles paint flakes.
Stainless steel surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and
a soap and water solution.
Plastic surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap
and water solution.
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral
spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.
Storage
I When storing the Weber Gas Barbecue, make sure
that the inside shut-off valve and/or locking outdoor
shut-off valve is secured in the OFF position. When the
Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply
MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
Plastic work surfaces are not to be used as cutting
boards.

General Maintenance
Weber Spider Stopper™ Guards
Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas
appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects.
They can nest in the venturi section (Venturi(1), air
shutter(2), venturi fin(3) ) of the burner tubes. This
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to
flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a
fire in and around the air shutters, under the control
panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
4) Dark blue

If the flames do not appear to be uniform throughout
the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures.

(3)
The Weber Spider Stopper™ Guard(1) is factory
installed. It fits tightly around the air shutter section of
the burner tube and the valve, thereby preventing
spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes
through the air shutter openings.
Main Burner Cleaning Procedure
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.
Look inside each burner with a flashlight.
(1)
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a
straightened-out coat hanger will work). Check and
clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the
burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base
of the valves. Use a brass bristle brush to clean
outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner
ports are fully open.
We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider
Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See Section
“Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the
Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following
symptoms should ever occur:
CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when
cleaning.
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow and lazy.
2) Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3) Barbecue heats unevenly.
4) One or more of the burners do not ignite.
ƽ DANGER
Failure to correct the above mentioned
symptoms may result in a fire, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death, and
cause damage to property.
