bEFORE USING THE GRILL

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 Temperature 

Controller 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. 

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 grease catch pan (located on the 

underside of the grill). Disposable Weber

®

 drip pans are 

available that fit the grease catch pan.

m WARNING: Check the grease catch 

pan and the removable bowl liner 

for grease build-up before each use. 

Remove excess grease to avoid a 

fire in the bottom of the grill.

m WARNING: Do not move the Weber

®

electric grill when operating or while 

the grill is hot.

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.

m WARNING: 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.

m CAUTION: Do not line the catch pan 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.
