SAFETY INFORMATION DANGER Failure to follow the Dangers, Warnings and Cautions contained in this Owner’s Guide may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property. Do not use indoors! This barbecue is designed for outdoor use only. If used indoors, toxic fumes will accumulate and cause serious bodily injury or death. Only use this barbecue outdoors in a wellventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
SAFETY INFORMATION Barbecue mitts should always be worn while cooking, adjusting air vents (dampers), adding charcoal and handling the thermometer or lid. Use proper barbecue tools, with long, heat-resistant handles. Some models may include the TuckAway™ lid holder feature. The Tuck-Away™ lid holder is used to store the lid while checking on or turning your food. Do not use the Tuck-Away™ lid holder as a handle to lift or move the grill.
HELPFUL HINTS TO START A CHARCOAL GRILL • Remove the lid and open all air vents before building the fire. NOTE: For proper airflow, remove accumulated ashes from the bottom of the grill, if present (only after the coals are fully extinguished). Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure nothing clogs the vents. • Mound the briquets into a pyramid-shaped pile or pile the charcoal into a Weber® Rapidfire® chimney starter.
HELPFUL HINTS EASY STEPS TO GRILLING GREATNESS Follow these tips and you won’t go wrong. And neither will your dinner. • Direct, indirect, or a little of both? Read the recipe and look at the instructions for setting up your grill. There are two methods of cooking in a Weber® grill—direct and indirect. See the following pages for specific instructions. • Don’t try to save time by placing food on a grill that’s not quite ready.
EASY GRILL CARE HELPFUL HINTS USE OF WEBER RECIPES • Make sure the grill is cool and coals are totally extinguished. • It is not necessary to wash the cooking grate after each use. Simply loosen residue with a bristle barbecue brush or crumpled aluminum foil, then wipe off with paper towels. • Wash your grill with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with clear water and wipe dry. • Remove ashes. • Remove the cooking and charcoal grates.
