the contact information sheet
provided with your manual.
•
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).
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to
clean, then rinse with water.
ƽ CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain
citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
barbecue or cart surfaces.
Grilling Methods
NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual.
ƽ 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 condi-
tions. Such as wind and weather, may require the adjust-
ment of the burner controls to obtain the correct cooking
temperatures.
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.
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-ef-
ficient 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 condi-
tions such as air temperature and wind.
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.
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.
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.
ƽ 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.
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.

box assembly exposing the valves, burners, igniter, and
manifold.
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.
ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak
checking.
ƽWARNING : The gas connections of your Summit®
gas grill have been factory tested. We do however
recommend that you leak check all gas connections

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Direct cooking
The Direct Method, similar to broiling, means the food is
Grilling Methods
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 cre-
ates 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
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.
ƽWARNING: 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.
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 done-
ness at the end of the recommended cooking time.
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 thermom-
eter 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 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
Grilling Tips & Helpful Hints
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 be-
neath 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.
• 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.
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 heavy-
gauge 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 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.”

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.
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 pat-
tern is shown.

MAIN BURNER CLEANING PROCEDURE
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold.
Look inside each burner with a flashlight.
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.
Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened-
out 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.
ƽ 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.
ƽCAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when
cleaning.
