that are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid produces
that “outdoor” flavour in the food. Electricity is easy to use and gives you more cooking
control than charcoal fuel.

COOKING
To preheat the grill: Turn on the Weber®electric barbecue according to the cooking
instructions in this owners’ manual. Close the lid and turn the heating element control
knob to high. Preheat the grill for 15 minutes (Q140) or 20 minutes (Q240); longer
preheating time will depend on conditions such as air temperature and wind.Allow five
more minutes of preheat time in countries where voltage is 220 volts.
Note: Wind and weather may require adjustment of the Temperature Control Knob to
obtain the correct cooking temperature.
Drippings and grease: Excess drippings and grease will collect in the catch pan in the
slide-out bottom tray (located on the underside of the grill). Disposable Weber®drip pans
are available that fit the catch pan.
mWARNING: Check the catch pan and the bottom of the grill
for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a fire in the bottom of the grill.
mWARNING: Do not move the Weber®electric grill when
operating or while the grill is hot.
bEFORE USING THE GRILL
CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN
Your grill was built with a grease collection system. Check the catch pan and disposable
drip pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill.
Remove excess grease with a plastic spatula; see illustration. When necessary, wash
the catch pan and drip pan with a soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water.
Replace the disposable drip pan as needed.
mWARNING: Check the catch pan and disposable drip pan for
grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to
avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can cause serious bodily
injury or damage to property.
mCAUTION: Do not line the slide-out grease tray with
aluminum foil.
(Q240) - Make sure that disposable drip pan (a) rests flat on catch pan (b).A bent drip
pan may interfere with removal of catch pan.

You must preheat the grill (15 or 20 minutes) before you
cook on it.
A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and
keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush
or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking
grate.
We suggest that you grill with the lid down. Why?
Because it reduces the chance of flare-ups, and cooks
your food faster and more evenly.
When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar
content or other ingredients that burn easily, only brush it
onto the food during the last 10 to 15 minutes of grilling.
Don’t forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and
clean out the drip pan under the grill.
The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling
times for food are meant to be guidelines rather than hard
and fast rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors
as wind, outside temperature and how well done the food
should be cooked. Grill for the time given on the chart or
to the desired degree of doneness, turning once halfway
through the grilling time. Cooking times for beef and lamb
are for “medium” cooking time, unless otherwise noted.
Let thick chops and steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before
carving. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by
5 to 10 degrees during this time.
