GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Gas Supply Testing

• Disconnect your Weber® gas barbecue when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

• Turn OFF your Weber® gas barbecue when the gas supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at the pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

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-ef-

ﬁ 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.

Check for gas leaks

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER

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

 WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every

time you disconnect and reconnect a gas ﬁ tting.

Note - All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been ﬂ ametested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all ﬁ ttings for leaks before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas ﬁ tting.

 WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your

barbecue was dealer or store assembled.

You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.

Turn on gas supply. Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.

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.

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 ﬁ re 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 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.

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.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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® gas grill may run hotter 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 areups.

• 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.”

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 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

If the ﬂ ames 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 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.
