DANGER:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or seriousinjury.

m Only use the grill outdoors in a well-

ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway, tent, any other enclosed area, or beneath overhead combustibleconstruction.

m The grill is not intended for and should

never be used as a heater.

m Keep the cooking area clear of

flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, etc., and combustiblematerials.

m Always open the lid before lighting the

gas burner, either manually or with the igniter. Lid must remain open until charcoal is fully ignited.

m Should a grease fire occur, turn off the

burner and leave lid closed until fire isout.

m The grill should never be used by

children. Accessible parts of the grill may be very hot. Keep children and pets away while the grill is inuse.

m Should the burner go out while the

grill is in operation, turn the gas valve off. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight.

m Do not operate the grill if there is a gas

leakpresent.

m Do not use a flame to check for

gasleaks.

m Do not put a grill cover or anything

flammable on, or in the storage area under the grill, while grill is in operation or is hot.

m If you see, smell, or hear the hiss

of gas escaping from the liquid propanecylinder:

1. Move away from liquid propanecylinder.

2. Do not attempt to correct the problemyourself.

3. Call your fire department.

m Liquid propane gas is not natural gas.

The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane gas unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void yourwarranty.

m Do not enlarge burner ports when

cleaning the burner.

m Do not store an extra (spare) or

disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near thegrill.

WARNING:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or seriousinjury.

m The grill should never be left

unattended or moved while inoperation.

m After a period of storage and/or nonuse,

the grill should be checked for gas leaks and burner obstructions before use. Seeinstructions in this owner’s guide for correctprocedures.

m Do not use the grill unless all

parts are in place. Grill must be properly assembled according to the assemblyinstructions.

m Do not build this model of grill in any

built-in or slide-inconstruction.

m Never lean over an open grill while

igniting orcooking.

m Use heat-resistant barbecue

mitts or gloves at all times when operatingthegrill.

m Use proper tools, with long, heat-

be stepped on or be a fire hazard. Never dump ashes or charcoal before they are fully extinguished.

m When cooking, the grill must be on a

level, stable surface in an area clear of combustiblematerial.

m Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will

obstruct the air flow. Instead, use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat when cooking using the indirect method.

m Grill brushes should be checked for

loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush. Weber recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.

WARRANTY

Thank you for purchasing a WEBER® product. Weber-Stephen Products LLC, 200 East Daniels Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067-6266 (“Weber”) prides itself on delivering a safe, durable, and reliable product.

This is Weber’s Voluntary Warranty provided to you at no extra charge. It contains the information you will need to have your WEBER® product repaired in the unlikely event of a failure or defect.

Pursuant to applicable laws, the customer has several rights in case the product is defective. Those rights include supplementary performance or replacement, abatement of the purchasing price and compensation.

In the event that repair or replacement are not possible, Weber may choose (at its option) to replace the grill in question with a new grill of equal or greater value. Weber may ask you to return parts for inspection, shipping charges to be pre-paid.

This WARRANTY lapses if there are damages, deteriorations, discolorations, and/or rust for which Weber is not responsible caused by:

m DANGER

Do not use the Snap-Jet™ gas ignition system if the retaining clip (A) securing the gas line and orifice into the burner tube is missing. A missing retaining clip can cause the gas hose and orifice to move out of the burner tube. This can cause a fire resulting in serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

m WARNING: Prior to use, pull the gas hose and orifice to make

sure that the retaining clip is in place and that the gas hose and orifice is securely attached inside the burner tube.

m PELIGRO

No utilice el sistema de encendido de gas Snap-Jet™ si la horquilla de retención (A) que asegura el conducto y el orificio del gas en el tubo del quemador no está instalada. Una horquilla de retención faltante puede hacer que la manguera y el orificio del gas se separen del tubo del quemador. Esto puede provocar un incendio que ocasionará lesiones físicas graves o la muerte, así como daños materiales.

m ADVERTENCIA: Antes de usar la barbacoa, hale la manguera

y el orificio del gas para asegurarse que la horquilla de retención esté instalada correctamente y que la manguera y el orificio del gas estén firmemente acoplados al interior del tubo del quemador.

m DANGER

Ne pas utiliser le système d'allumage au gaz Snap-Jet™ si la bride de retenue (A) qui fixe le flexible de gaz et l'orifice dans le brûleur est manquante. L'absence de bride de retenue peut causer l'expulsion du flexible de gaz et de l'orifice du brûleur. Ceci peut provoquer un départ de feu pouvant causer des blessures graves, voire mortelles, et des dégâts matériels.

m AVERTISSEMENT: Avant utilisation, tirer sur le flexible de gaz

et l'orifice pour s'assurer que la bride de retenue est en place et que le flexible de gaz et l'orifice sont solidement attachés à l'intérieur du brûleur.

COOKING SYSTEM

Extensive thought was put into how your charcoal grill was designed. Weber® grills are designed so that you never have to worry about flare-ups, hot and cold spots, or burnt food. Expect excellent performance, control, and results every time.

Bowland Lid

The air-insulated, double-wall bowl and lid

retain heat for longer cook times and excellent temperature control. The unique kettle shape of your Summit® charcoal grill allows for true convection cooking.

Dampers and Vents

A major component in charcoal grilling is

air. The more air allowed into the grill, the hotter the fire will grow (to a point) causing the charcoal to burn much faster. The bowl vent on the bottom of the grill should be open while grilling or in the smoke position while smoking. The top damper is used to control the temperature within the grill; however, should never be completely closed.

Gourmet BBQ System™

CookingGrate

Made of heavy-duty stainless steel, the cooking

grate provides ample area to make all of your favorite meals.

DiffuserPlate

The stainless steel diffuser plate is used to

maintain a consistent temperature and to direct heat and smoke around the food. It is always used while smoking. However, it can also be used while cooking indirectly to maximize grilling space.

Fuel Grate

The fuel grate has what it takes to withstand

the heat of any charcoal fire. Made of heavyduty steel, this durable grate will not warp or burn through. The grate can be moved to a higher position in the bowl for grilling and lower position for smoking.

One-Touch™ Cleaning System

The stainless steel One-Touch™ cleaning

system makes cleanup hassle free. As you move the handle back and forth, the three blades in the bowl move ash from the bottom of the grill into the high capacity ash catcher for quick and clean ash removal. These same vents act as a bowl damper, to help bring oxygen up to the fire or to allow you to easily extinguish the fire.

FEATURES

The Weber® Summit® Charcoal grill isn't your typical grill. The top-of-the line features and innovative design allow you to grill, or smoke, with convenience and ease. From the Snap-Jet™ gas ignition system, to hinged cooking grates; grilling has never been easier or more fun.

Gourmet BBQ System

The Gourmet BBQ System™ (A) cooking grate is the circular center grate within the hinged cooking grate. It is removable and can be replaced with any of the Weber® Gourmet BBQ System™ inserts (sold separately). For a full product line of Gourmet BBQ System™ inserts, visit our website at: www.weber.com.

Snap-Jet™ Gas Ignition System

Lighting charcoal has never been easier with the Snap-Jet™ gas ignition system (B). Simply pile charcoal above the burner tube and ignite it with the burner control knob.

Stainless Steel Hinged Cooking Grate and Stainless Steel Hinged DiffuserPlate

The cooking grate and diffuser plate (C) are made to easily add charcoal and wood while grilling or smoking. The hinged cooking grate has an extended handle to hang it from the edge of thebowl.

Built-In Thermometer

The large, durable, built-in lid thermometer (D) allows you to easily monitor your grill’s temperature. The “smoke” zone on the thermometer indicates when the grill has reached the ideal temperature for smoking.

Rapidfire™ Lid Damper

The hinged Rapidfire™ lid damper (E) maximizes airflow and increases temperature quickly to get you up and grilling within 20minutes. It also aids in a quick temperature recoveryrate.

Tool Hook

Conveniently hang your tools on the stainless steel tool hook (F) located on the side of the grillbowl.

Bottom Wire Rack

The bottom wire rack (G) supplies additional storage.

Easy-Open Lid Hinge

The lid of your grill was designed with a spring hinge to make opening and closing the lid simple and safe. The hinge prevents the lid from slamming shut, preventing possible injury or damage to thegrill. (Not pictured.)

Locking Casters

Industrial grade casters make moving around the patio easy, while the locking mechanism keeps the grill in place. (Not pictured.)

™

USING THE SNAP-JET™ GAS IGNITION SYSTEM

WHAT IS LP GAS?

Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such as a cylinder, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes LP gas.

• LP has an odor similar to natural gas.

Youshould be aware of this odor.

• LP is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may

collect in low areas and resist dispersion.

m DANGER

NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near Weber® gas appliances. Failure to follow this statement exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LP GASCYLINDERS

There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your Weber® gas grill.

• Do not use a damaged, dented, or rusty

LPc ylind er.

• Handle “empty” LP cylinders with the same

care as you handle full cylinders. Even when an LP cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cylinder.

• LP cylinders should not be dropped or

handledroughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where

temperatures can reach 125°F (51.7°C) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.

• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach

ofchildren.

STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE

For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) it is empty; 2)

the grill is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area; 3) the grill is being transported;

4) the grill is not in use.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet when

cylinder is not in use.

• Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a

building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

• The Weber® gas grill should be checked for gas

leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

• Check that the bowl and the high capacity ash

catcher are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilationair.

• The burner tube should also be checked

for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

U.S. INSTALLATION CODES

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA54.

CANADIAN INSTALLATION CODES

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?

The fuel system in your grill features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings.

Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.

m DANGER

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

m WARNING: The gas connections of your

gas grill have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.

m WARNING: Perform these leak checks

even if your grill was dealer or store assembled.

m WARNING: Check for gas leaks every

time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

NOTE: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burner has been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. (You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.)

1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.

m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when

leak checking.

2. To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. Ifbubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections:

a. Regulator-to-cylinder connection (A).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at

connection (A), remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a different propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after installing a different propane cylinder, remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Logonto: www.weber.com.

b. Valve-to-regulator connection (B).

m WARNING: If there is a leak at

connection (B), remove the propane cylinder. DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Logonto: www.weber.com.

3. When leak checking is complete, rinse connections with water.

NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

Now you are ready to use your grill.

GRILLING METHODS - Direct Heat

The Summit® charcoal grill can be used for three grilling methods: Direct Grilling, Indirect Grilling, and Smoking. Before continuing, determine which grilling method will be used and follow the appropriate grilling instructions in this owner'sguide.

GRILLING WITH DIRECT HEAT

Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, suchas: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and sliced vegetables.

With direct heat, the fire is right below the food (A). It sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking the food all the way to the center.

A direct fire creates both radiant and conductive heat. Radiant heat from the charcoal quickly cooks the surface of the food closest to it. At the same time, the fire heats the cooking grate rods, which conducts heat directly to the surface of the food and creates those unmistakable and lovely grill marks.

Grill Setup For DirectHeat

1. Place center support ring (B) in the middle

position of the bowl, then place the fuel grate (C) within the center support ring.

2. Pile charcoal on the fuel grate above the tip of

the burner tube(D).

3. Light the charcoal. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION

- Lighting with Snap-Jet™ gas ignition system.”

Note: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal with gas ignition.

4. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves. With long tongs or charcoal rake, spread the charcoal evenly across the fuel grate (E). Make sure lit fuel is in contact with unlit.

5. Place the cooking grate on the top position of the bowl (F).

6. Close the lid and flip open the Rapidfire™ lid damper(G).

7. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately 7-10 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.

8. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, clean the cooking grate (H).

Note: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

9. Begin cooking when charcoal has a light coating of ash. Consult recipe for recommended cooking times and temperature. Reference the thermometer for desired temperature. Rotating the top damper will increase or decrease the desired heat inside kettle.

When Finished Cooking...

Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal.

Charcoal Quantity for Direct Heat

Charcoal Briquettes Lump Charcoal*

60 briquettes (1½ cups) 3½ cups

* When measuring lump charcoal, use the charcoal

measuring cup provided with your grill.

GRILLING METHODS - Indirect Heat

GRILLING WITH INDIRECT HEAT

Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish fillets, whole chickens or turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned first over directheat.

With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill (A), or off to one side of the grill. The food sits on the portion of the cooking grate without charcoal directly below it.

The radiant and conductive heat are still factors, but they are not as intense while indirect cooking. However, if the lid of the grill is closed, as it should be, there is another kind of heat generated: convection heat. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on allsides.

Convection heat doesn’t sear the surface of the food the way radiant and conductive heat do. It cooks it more gently all the way to the center, like the heat in an oven.

Grill Setup For IndirectHeat

1. Place center support ring (B) in the middle position of the bowl, then place the fuel grate (C) within the center support ring.

2. Place charcoal in the Char-Baskets™ on the fuel grate above the tip of the burner tube (D). Arrange Char-Baskets™ so that they run parallel to the burner tube.

3. Light the charcoal. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION

- Lighting with Snap-Jet™ gas ignition system.”

Note: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal with gas ignition.

4. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves. With long tongs, move the Char-Baskets™ so that they will be set on either side of the food (E).

Note: Adisposable drip pan should be placed between the Char-Baskets™ to collect drippings and minimize cleaningtime.

Note: This grill has ample cooking space to cook indirectly and directly simultaneously. By moving the Char-Baskets™ to one side of the grill, you can cook directly over the baskets and use the remaining side of the cooking grate to cook indirectly.

5. Place the cooking grate on the top position of the bowl (F).

6. Close the lid and flip open the Rapidfire™ lid damper(G).

7. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately 7-10 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.

8. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, clean the cooking grate (H).

Note: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

When Finished Cooking...

Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal.
