OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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(6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a
virtual guarantee against unwanted fl are-ups.
LIGHTING
Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel.
ƽ DANGER
Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s
burners, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to
clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an
explosive fl ame-up which can cause serious bodily
injury or death.
CROSSOVER
®
IGNITION SYSTEM
Note - The Crossover
®
ignition system ignites the set of left burners with a
spark from the igniter electrode inside the Gas Catcher™ ignition chamber.
You generate the energy for the spark by pushing the electronic ignition
button.
ƽ WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue
for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose
is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the
barbecue. Replace using only Weber
®
authorized
replacement hose. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact

*The grill illustrated may have slight differences than the model
purchased.
• 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.”
