GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Your Weber® gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking appliance. With the Weber® gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difﬁ cult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that “outdoor” ﬂ avor in the food. The Weber® gas barbecue is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means you can take your Weber® gas barbecue with, if you move. Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.

• These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your Weber® gas barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.

• Not for use by children.

• If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to them. If there are no local codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber® gas barbecue must be used. This regulator is set for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).

• This Weber® gas barbecue is designed for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. Do not use with natural (piped in city) gas. The valves, oriﬁ ces, hose and regulator are for LP gas only.

• Do not use with charcoal fuel.

• Check that the area under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the ﬂ ow of combustion or ventilation air.

• The areas around the LP cylinder must be free and clear from debris.

• Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those speciﬁ ed by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

GRILLING METHODS

NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

 WARNING: Do not move the Weber® gas barbecue

when operating or while barbecue is hot.

You can adjust the Left and Right burners in each burner set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O).

Note: The temperature inside your cooking box for the ﬁ rst few uses, while surfaces are still very reﬂ ective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Cooking conditions. Such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait ﬁ ve minutes before relighting. Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-efﬁ cient appliance. It

operates at an economical low BTU rate. To preheat: after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (HH). Preheating to between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind. Drippings and grease - The Flavorizer® bars are designed to “smoke” the correct amount of drippings for ﬂ avorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that ﬁ t the catch pan.

 WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-up

before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease ﬁ re in the slide out bottom tray.

CLEANING

 WARNING: Turn your Weber® gas barbecue OFF and

wait for it to cool before cleaning.

 CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer

bars or

cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven.

Preheating

Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your Summit® gas grill according to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. Turn both burners

in each burner set to High (HH), 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.

Flavorizer® system

When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer® bars, they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued ﬂ avor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, Flavorizer® bars and the ﬂ exible temperature controls, uncontrolled ﬂ are-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the ﬂ ames. Because of the special design of the Flavorizer® bars and burners, excess fats are directed through the funnel-shaped bottom tray into the grease catch pan.

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 ﬁ ll, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up “gas-propane” in

the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

 WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be

ﬁ lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualiﬁ ed

attendant, who ﬁ lls the tank by weight. IMPROPER

FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial ﬁ lling. 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 reﬁ ll will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can reﬁ ll before running out. You do not have to run out before you reﬁ ll.
