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.

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 heavy-duty 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 KAMADO S6 isn’t just your typical grill. The top-of-the-line features and innovative design allow you to grill or smoke your food with convenience and ease.

GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM

The GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM 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. Simply pile charcoal above the burner tube and ignite it with the burner control knob.

High Capacity Ash Catcher

The fully enclosed high capacity ash catcher keeps ashes from blowing around and easily detaches for quick and clean ash removal. (Not pictured)

Stainless Steel Diuser Plate

This specially designed diffuser plate is used specifically for smoking food, as well as indirect cooking.

Built-In Thermometer

The large, durable, built-in lid thermometer 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 maximizes airflow and increases temperature quickly to get you up and grilling within 20minutes. It also aids in a quick temperature recoveryrate.

Fuel Storage Bag

The portable fuel storage bag stores up to 20 lbs of charcoal and ensures that the fuel stays dry and is protected from the elements.

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)

Stainless Steel Wire Basket

Removable stainless steel wire basket is great for storing accessories and barbecuing tools. Conveniently located under the stainless steel table for easy access while barbecuing.

Bowl Vents for Low Temperature

Grilling and Smoking

The shape of these bowl vents allow the perfect

amount of airflow for low temperature grilling and smoking. (Not pictured)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS

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cylinder.

• 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

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian installation codes. In Canada, the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or the latest edition of Standard CAN/CSA-B149.2 (Propane Storage and Handling Code).

NOTE: Your retailer can help you match a replacement cylinder to your grill.

REGULATOR CONNECTIONS

Your WEBER gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LP cylinder. Each WEBER pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water column pressure.

BURNER USAGE

The gas burner feature on your SUMMIT charcoal grill operates at 10,000 BTU’s. It is for igniting the charcoal only. It should never be used for cooking.

INSTALLING THE LP CYLINDER

Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of either 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. equipped with a CGA #600 connection.

m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked

“Propane Fuel” only.

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

2. Push the propane cylinder into the regulator and turn clockwise until tight (A).

m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten

the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

REMOVING THE LP CYLINDER

When your LP cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it.

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

2. Unscrew propane cylinder from regulator.

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 dierent propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after installing a dierent 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.

REPLACEMENT HOSE,

REGULATOR AND VALVE ASSEMBLY

m IMPORTANT NOTICE:

We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your WEBER gas grill every ﬁve years. Some countries may have requirements that the gas hose be replaced within less than ﬁve years, in which case that country’s requirement would take precedence.

For replacement hose, regulator, and

valve assemblies, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log on to www.weber.com.

• Do not use the grill within 5 feet (1.5 M) of any combustible material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, and porches.

Choose How Much Charcoal to Use

Choosing charcoal or briquette quantity depends on what you are grilling and the size of your grill. If you are grilling small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes, refer to the Charcoal Quantity for Direct Heat chart. If you are grilling or smoking larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or delicate foods, refer to the Charcoal Quantity for Indirect Heat chart. For more details about the difference between direct and indirect cooking, refer to the GRILLING METHODS section of this manual.

The Very First Time You Grill

It is recommended that the grill be heated up and the fuel kept red hot, with the lid on, for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking for the first time to burn off any manufacturing residue.

Preparing the Grill for Lighting

1. Open the lid.

2. Remove the cooking grate from the grill. For

convenience, hang the cooking grate on the bowl of your grill by its curved handles (A).

3. Remove the charcoal (bottom) grate and clear

ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the vents. Using the ONE-TOUCH cleaning system, move the handle back and forth to move ash from the bottom of the grill into the ash catcher (B).

4. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it from the grill (C).

5. Open bowl vent by moving the handle all the way to the right (D) or by moving the handle to the open position (E).

6. Reinstall the charcoal (bottom) grate.

Note: Instructions for using lighter fluid was purposely left out of this owner’s guide. Lighter fluid is messy and can transmit a chemical taste to your food, while lighter cubes (sold separately) do not. If you choose to use lighter fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and NEVER add lighter fluid to a burning fire.

LIGHTING CHARCOAL

Lighting the Charcoal Using a ChimneyStarter

The simplest way to light any kind of charcoal is to use a chimney starter; the WEBER RAPIDFIRE chimney starter (sold separately). Refer to the cautions and warnings included with the RAPIDFIRE chimney starter before lighting. When igniting fuel ensure all dampers are fully opened.

1. Put a few sheets of wadded up newspaper in the bottom of the chimney starter and set the chimney starter on the charcoal grate (A); or put a few lighter cubes near the center of the charcoal grate and place the chimney starter over them.

2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (B).

3. Light the lighter cubes or newspaper through the holes on the side of the chimney starter(C).

4. Keep the chimney starter in place until the

charcoal is fully lit. You can tell when the charcoal is fully lit when it is covered with a coating of white ash. This can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Never close the lid with the chimney starter inside the grill.

Note: The lighter cubes used must be completely consumed and the coals ashed over before placing food on the cooking grate.

Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the following pages for instructions on how to arrange your charcoal and begin cooking according to your desired cooking method.

Lighting the Charcoal Using LighterCubes

When igniting charcoal, ensure all lid and bowl dampers are fully opened.

1. Build a pyramid of charcoal in the center of the charcoal (bottom) grate and insert a couple of lighter cubes (sold separately) within the pyramid

(D).

2. Using a long match or lighter, light the lighter cubes.

The lighter cubes will then ignite the charcoal.

3. Wait for the charcoal to fully light. You can tell when the charcoal is fully lit when it is covered with a coating of white ash. This can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.

Note: The lighter cubes used must be completely consumed and the coals ashed over before placing food on the cooking grate.

Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the following

pages for instructions on how to arrange your fuel and begin cooking according to your desired cooking method.

Lighting the Charcoal Using CHAR-BASKETS

When igniting charcoal, ensure all lid and bowl dampers are fully opened.

1. Place the CHAR-BASKETS on the center of the charcoal grate and fill the CHAR-BASKETS with charcoal (E).

2. Insert a couple of lighter cubes (sold separately) into each of the CHAR-BASKETS (F). Make sure to nestle them within the charcoal.

Using a long match or lighter, light the lighter cubes. The lighter cubes will then ignite the charcoal (G).

4. Wait for the fuel to fully light. You can tell when the charcoal is fully lit when it is covered with a coating of white ash. This can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.

Note: The lighter cubes used must be completely consumed and the coals ashed over before placing food on the cooking grate.

Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the following pages for instructions on how to arrange your charcoal and begin cooking according to your desired cooking method.

m Use heat-resistant barbecue

gloves or mitts while cooking, adjusting air vents (dampers), adding charcoal, and handling thermometer or lid.

m Never close the lid with the

chimney starter in the barbecue.

BURNER IGNITION - SNAP-JET GAS IGNITION SYSTEM

METHODS OF BURNERIGNITION

There are two ways to ignite the burner. The first is by using the SNAP-JET gas ignition system built into the burner control knob on your grill. The second is with a match.

Next are the steps for igniting your grill using the SNAP-JET gas ignition system. On the follow page are steps for igniting your grill with a match.

Summarized lighting instructions are also located on the ignition box.

Burner Ignition – Lighting with SNAP-JET Gas Ignition System
