on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause
scratches.

 IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe

in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your
stainless steel.

The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as
described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your LP cylinder by
weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging and filling instructions on the
LP cylinder before attempting to fill.

LEAK CHECK PREPARATION

CHECK THAT ALL BURNER VALVES ARE OFF

Valves are shipped in the “OFF” position, but you should check to be sure that they are
turned off. Check by pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn, they are
off. Proceed to the next step. If they do turn continue turning them clockwise until they
stop, then they are off. Proceed to the next step.

CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

All Weber® liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank
connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane
tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1
coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and
your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is
not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully
engaged into the coupling.

 WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.

Close by turning valve clockwise.

 DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you
check for leaks. Sparks or flames will result in a fire or
explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.

TO CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE CYLINDER:

1) Locate hose retention clip (a) on regulator hose. Secure into slot (b) on underside

of tank scale.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING: The hose must be secured to the tank scale

with the Hose Retention Clip. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the hose resulting in a fire or explosion which
can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to
property.

Some LP tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal
protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing
front (a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale
(b). Weber recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and
Worthington, with a 47.6 lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for
use with the appliance provided they are compatible with the appliance retention
means (see illustrations).

The LP cylinder is installed inside the base cabinet, on the tank
scale (right side).

2) Open base cabinet doors.

3) Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to
the front, side or rear of the Weber® gas barbecue. Lift and
hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas.

LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure,
inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily
vaporizes and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent

dispersion.

• To fill, take the LP cylinder to a gas propane dealer, or look up “gas-propane” in

the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

 WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled

at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant,
who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS
DANGEROUS.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP

dealer is equipped to do this.

• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position.

LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F

(too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a
hot day).

Note: A refill will last about 18-20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale
will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have
to run out before you refill.

• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP

tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always
close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

 CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever

the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.

• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders

with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each

time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is
refilled.

WWW.WEBER.COM

®

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so
that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

• The gas connections supplied with your Weber
designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

• Check to be sure cylinders have a D.O.T. certification (1), and date tested (2) is
within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approximately (18¼ inches high, 12¼
inches in diameter).

• The cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP - Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SNAP IGNITION OPERATION
 Always open the lid before igniting the burners

Each control knob has its own igniter electrode built in. To create a spark you must push the control knob in (A) and turn to “START/High” (B).
This action will generate gas flow and a spark to the burner lighting tube (C). You will hear a “snap” from the igniter. You will also see a 3˝ - 5˝ orange flame coming from the burner

lighting tube at the left side of the burner (D).
Continue to hold the burner control knob in for two seconds after the “snap”. This will allow gas to flow completely down the burner tube (E) and insure ignition.
Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates. You should see a flame. If burner does not light on first try, push control knob in and turn to OFF.Repeat lighting

procedure a second time.

 WARNING: If the burner still does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before

you try again or try to light with a match.

LIGHTING

Summary lighting instructions are inside the left hand cabinet door.

 DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners,
or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the

PREHEATING

Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your Summit® gas grill according to
the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. Turn all of the main burners to Start/Hi, close
the lid, and preheat grill with the lid down until grill thermometer reaches 550ºF (260˚­288˚C).This is the recommended broiling temperature. This will take approximately 10
to 15 minutes, depending on outside temperatures.

COVERED COOKING

All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the
lid closed, the Summit® gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer
in the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is
done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.

The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a
specific food, Direct or Indirect. The difference is simple: place the food directly over the
fire, or arrange the fire on either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to
great results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety.

DIRECT COOKING

The Direct Method, similar to broiling, means the food is cooked directly over the heat
source. For even cooking, food should be turned once halfway through the grilling time.
Use the Direct method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops,
kabobs, sausages, vegetables, and more.

Direct cooking is also necessary to sear meats. Searing creates that wonderful crisp,
caramelized texture where the food hits the grate. It also adds great color and flavor to
the entire surface. Steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit
from searing.

To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller
pieces require less searing time. Usually after searing you finish cooking the food at a
lower temperature. You can finish cooking fast-cooking foods by the Direct method; use
the Indirect method for longer-cooking foods.

To set up your gas grill for Direct cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on “HI”. Place
food on the cooking grate, and then adjust all burners to the temperature noted in the
recipe. Close the lid of the grill and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the
end of the recommended cooking time.

INDIRECT COOKING

The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits of that grilled
texture, flavor, and appearance you can’t get from an oven. To set up for Indirect
cooking, gas burners are lit on either side of the food but not directly beneath it. Heat
rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the
food evenly on all sides, much like a convection oven, so there’s no need to turn the
food.

Use the Indirect method for foods that require 25 minutes or more of grilling time or that
are so delicate that direct exposure to the flame would dry them out or scorch them.
Examples include roasts, ribs, whole chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as
well as delicate fish fillets.

To set up your gas grill for Indirect cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on “HI”.
Then adjust the burners on each side of the food to the temperature noted in the recipe
and turn off the burner(s) directly below the food. For best results, place roasts, poultry,
or large cuts of meat on a roasting rack set inside a disposable heavy-gauge foil pan.
For longer cooking times, add water to the foil pan to keep drippings from burning. The
drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on “HI” heat and close lid;

heat for 10 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500˚-550˚F (260˚-288˚C).

• Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.

• Grilling times in recipes are based on 70˚F (20˚C) weather and little or no wind.

Allow more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less
cooking time in extremely hot weather.

• Grilling times can vary because of the weather, or the amount, size and shape of

the food being grilled.

• The temperature of your Summit

few uses.

• Grilling conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the

correct cooking temperatures.

• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than

small pieces of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking grate will require more cooking
time than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers, such as baked beans, will
require more time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.

WWW.WEBER.COM

gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first

• Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a scant ¼
inch (6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee
against unwanted flare-ups.

• Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require turning or
moving to a less hot area.

• Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing natural
juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole fish.

• If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn all burners off and move food to
another area of the cooking grate. Any flames will quickly subside. After flames
subside, relight the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A
GAS GRILL.

• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin fish fillets, will require a container
for grilling. Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with
ovenproof handles can also be used.

• Always be sure the bottom tray and grease catch pan are clean and free from
debris.

• Do not line the funnel-shaped bottom tray with foil. This could prevent the grease
from flowing into the grease catch pan.

• Using a timer will help to alert you when “well-done” is about to become “over­done.”

Searing is a direct grilling technique which browns the surface of the food at a high
temperature. By searing or browning both sides of the meat you will create a more
desirable flavor by caramelizing the food surface. Searing will also enhance appearance
of the meat with sear marks from the cooking grates. This along with the contrast of
textures and flavors can make food more interesting to the palate

The Sear Station
adjacent main burners. With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear
meats while using other cooking areas for grilling with moderate heat.

TO USE THE SEAR STATION

Before searing you should turn all of the main burners on HI for 15 minutes to preheat
the grill. Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to avoid
flare ups.
Once the grill is preheated, turn the outer burners off or down to low. Leave the center
two burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station Burner (See Sear Station™ lighting
Instructions).

Place the meat directly over the Sear Station
1 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of meat and thickness. You may turn the food a
quarter turn to make crossing sear marks (1) before you sear the other side in the same
manner.
Once you are done searing you can finish grilling by moving the meat to a more
moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness.

SEAR STATION™ BURNER LIGHTING

Summary lighting instructions are inside the left hand cabinet door.

 DANGER
Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners,
or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the
barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up
which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

The Sear Station™ burner has an on or off control setting. To ignite the Sear Station™
burner you must first ignite the two adjacent main burners.

ADJACENT MAIN BURNER SNAP IGNITION

Note: Each main burner control knob snap igniter creates a spark from the igniter
electrode to the burner lighting tube. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing
in the control knob and turning to “START/HI”. This will ignite each individual burner.

 WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue for

nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to
be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace
using only Weber® authorized replacement hose. Contact
the Customer Service Representative in your area using the

USING THE SMOKER

The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like
steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and
turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker,
we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks
to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.

TO USE THE SMOKER

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet
wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger
chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1). As you gain experience in smoking,
increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.

Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.

Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker Burner
After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to “LOW”.

Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you
require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and /or chunks. Keep the
lid of the grill closed while cooking.

Note: After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again.
The smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry and fish recipes. Cook with the lid
down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.

 DANGER

Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the
wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

CLEANING THE SMOKER

Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.

Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue
cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree a
“smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not
be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.
