General Instructions
Your Weber® gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking
Storage
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 gas must be turned OFF at the natural gas supply
when the Weber® gas barbecue is not in use.
When the Weber® gas barbecue is stored indoors, the
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.”)
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.
■
■
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

General Specifications for Piping
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.
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.
■ 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
ƽ 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.
■ 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.
ƽ WARNING: Do not route the 12 foot hose under a
deck.The hose must be visible.

Grilling Methods
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
• 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.
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.
• 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
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.
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.

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.
Annual Maintenance
ƽCAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when
cleaning.
