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

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 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.

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.

 WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make

sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overﬁ lling Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible with your barbecue connection.

• 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.

• 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: When transporting the LP cylinder make

sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.

• 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 reﬁ lled.

Page 10

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 LP cylinder and connections supplied with your

Weber

gas barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.

Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements

• Replacement LP cylinders supplied by Weber satisfy the above requirements. Check to be sure other cylinders have a D.O.T. certiﬁ cation(1), and date tested(2) is within ﬁ ve years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

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 ﬁ re in the bottom tray.

Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your Summit 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 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.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a speciﬁ c food, Direct or Indirect. The difference is simple: place the food directly over the ﬁ re, or arrange the ﬁ re 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 ﬂ avor to the entire surface. Steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all beneﬁ t 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 ﬁ nish cooking the food at a lower temperature. You can ﬁ nish 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.

Indirect cooking

The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added beneﬁ ts of that grilled texture, ﬂ avor, 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, reﬂ ects 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 ﬂ ame would dry them out or scorch them. Examples include roasts, ribs, whole chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as well as delicate ﬁ sh ﬁ llets. 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 ter than normal for the ﬁ rst 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 ﬂ are-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 ﬁ sh.

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

• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin ﬁ sh ﬁ llets, 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 ﬂ owing into the grease catch pan.

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

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 ﬂ ow, and can cause the gas to ﬂ ow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a ﬁ re in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

(1)

The burner tube air shutter is ﬁ tted 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 ﬂ ame pattern is shown.

1) Burner tube

2) Tips occasionally ﬂ icker yellow

3) Light blue

4) Dark blue

(2) (3)

(4)

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 ﬂ ames 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 ﬁ re, 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.

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

MAIN BURNER CLEANING PROCEDURE

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.

Look inside each burner with a ﬂ ashlight.

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 oriﬁ ces 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.

CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when

cleaning.

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.
