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 difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer® bars produce that “outdoor” flavor 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 you if you move. The natural 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/NFPA54.

• This Weber® gas barbecue is designed for natural (piped in city) gas only. Do not use liquid propane (LP) bottled gas. The valves, orifices and hose are for natural 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 flow of combustion or ventilation air.

For Installation in Canada

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian Installation codes, particularly with piping above and below ground. In Canada the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or Standards CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Storage

■ The gas must be turned OFF at the natural gas supply when the Weber® gas barbecue is not in use.

■ When the Weber gas supply must be disconnected.

■ The Weber® gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Sections: “General Maintenance and Annual Maintenance.”)

■ Check that the areas under the control panel and the slide out bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

■ The Spider /Insect Screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual Maintenance.”)

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 first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, 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 five minutes before relighting. Preheating - Your Weber® gas barbecue is an energy-

efficient 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 flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease will accumulate in the catch pan under the slide out bottom tray. Disposable foil drip pans are available that fit the catch pan.

 WARNING: Check the bottom tray for grease build-

up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire 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. For availability of replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.

Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to

clean, then rinse with water.

 CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive

cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain

citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on

barbecue or cart surfaces.

Slide out Bottom tray - Remove excess grease, then

wash with warm soapy water, then rinse

Flavorizer® bars and Cooking grates - Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with water.

Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.

Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water; clean with plastic scrub ball.

Inside cooking module - Brush any debris off of burner tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS (OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm soapy water and a water rinse.

Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up grease resembles paint flakes.

Stainless steel surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap and water solution. Be careful to scrub with the grain direction of the stainless steel.

Thermoset surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap and water solution.

Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

Thermoset work surfaces are not to be used as cutting boards.

Gas Instructions

Install Gas Supply

General Specifications for Piping

Note - Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must confirm to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Some of the following are general requirements taken from ANISI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifications.

■ This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of

water column pressure (.2526 psi).

■ A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,

immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.

■ An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be

installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line

■ The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT

thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected

■ The quick disconnect fitting can be installed

horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the open end pointing upward can result in collecting water and debris.

■ The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the

open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.

■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the

action of natural gas when connections are made.

■ The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid,

permanent construction.

 WARNING: Do not route the 12 foot hose under a

deck. The hose must be visible.

Gas Line Piping

■ If the length of the line required does not exceed 50

feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;

polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

■ Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains

more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

■ Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground

use.

■ Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material

which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

■ Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1

 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 gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

Operating Instructions

Grilling Methods

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

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).

If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting. WARNING: Check the bottom tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.

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. This is the recommended broiling temperature.

Preheating

Preheating the grill before grilling is very important. Light your Summit® gas grill according to the instructions in your Owner’s Manual. Close the lid and wait until the thermometer in your lid reaches 500˚-550˚F (260˚-288˚C). This will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on outside temperatures.

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 High. 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.

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 flavor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, Flavorizer® bars and the flexible temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. 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.

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.

Operating Instructions

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 High. 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 heavygauge 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 HIGH 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 in charts and recipes are approximate. Times can vary because of the weather, or the amount, size and shape of the food being grilled.

• The temperature of your Summit® gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first 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.

•Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a scant 1⁄4 inch 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 to 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 “over-done.”

Main Burner Troubleshooting

Problem Check Cure

Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas.

Burner does not light, or flame is low in HIGH position.

Experiencing flare-ups:

 CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray with aluminum foil.

Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is low when burner is on HIGH. Flames do not run the whole length of the burner tube.

Inspect Weber® Insect/Spider Screens for possible obstructions. (Blockage of holes.)

Is fuel hose bent or kinked?

Does the Left burner light with a match?

Are you preheating barbecue in the prescribed manner?

Are the cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars heavily coated with burned-on grease?

Is the bottom tray “dirty” and not allowing grease to flow into catch pan?

Are burners clean?

Clean Weber® Insect/Spider Screens. (See Section “Annual Maintenance”)

Straighten fuel hose.

If you can light the Left burner with a match, then check the Crossover ignition system.

All burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes for preheating.

Clean thoroughly. (See Section “Cleaning”)

Clean bottom tray

Clean burners. (See Section “Maintenance”.)

Inside of lid appears to be “peeling.” (Resembles paint peeling.)

The lid is stainless steel, not paint. It cannot “peel”. What you are seeking is baked on grease that has turned to carbon and is flaking off.

THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.

Maintenance

Weber® Spider /Insect screens

Your Weber® gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section(1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

(1)

The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings.

(1)

Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the spider/insect screens and burners are clean replace the burners. If the spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, call Weber-Stephen Products Customer Service for replacement parts.

Main Burner Flame Pattern

The Weber® gas barbecue burners have been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown.

1) Burner tube

2) Tips occasionally flicker yellow

3) Light blue

If the flames do not appear to be uniform throughout the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures.

We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year. (See Section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/ Insect screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:

1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.

2) Barbecue does not reach temperature.

3) Barbecue heats unevenly.

4) One or more of the burners do not ignite.

 DANGER

Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

Annual Maintenance

Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect screens

To inspect the spider/insect screens, remove the control panel. If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove the burners for cleaning the screens.

Brush the spider/inspect screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).

 CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect screens

with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/ insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.

Look inside each burner with a flashlight.

Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightenedout coat hanger will work). Check and clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves. Use a Steel bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open.
