SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS
•
Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and
natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures.
Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the
pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this
odor.
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and
prevent dispersion.
To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up “gas-propane” in
the phone book for other sources of LP gas.
•
•
•
ƽ WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
•
•
•
Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your
LP dealer is equipped to do this.
The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright
position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach
125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP
cylinder in a car on a hot day).
Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel
scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out.
You do not have to run out before you refill.

ƽ CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make
sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve.
This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion
of the valve.
DOT 4BA240

•
Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or
LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be
replaced with a new one immediately.
Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
•
•
•
The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested
each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time
the LP cylinder is refilled.
(2)
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed
downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt,
grease, bugs etc.
The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been
designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

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.
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
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 (260˚-288˚C).This is the
recommended broiling temperature. This will take approximately 10 to 15
minutes, depending on outside temperatures.
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.
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 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.

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.
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 TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
• Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require
turning or moving to a less hot area.
• 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).
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Using a timer will help to alert you when “well-done” is about to become
“over-done.”
• 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 flare-ups.

USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking
foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood
chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods
such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood
chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period
of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker, we encourage you to
experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks to find the
smoke flavor that best suits your taste.
(1)
To use the smoker
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before
using. (Wet wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood
chips or a few larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body(1). As you
gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit
your taste.
SUMMIT® C, D
Note - Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the
food.
Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker
Burner After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to low.
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes.
If you require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and /or
chunks. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.
Note - After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start
again.
The smoker may be used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and fish
recipes in the gas grill cookbook. Cook with the lid down according to the
times indicated in charts or recipes.
Cleaning the smoker
Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.
Note - Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker.
This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the
smoker. To a lesser degree a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside
of your gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely
affect the function of your gas grill.
ƽDANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite
the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

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 combustion air opening. This could result in a fire in
and around the combustion air openings, under the control panel, causing
serious damage to your barbecue.
(1)
The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel
screen(2) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes
through the combustion air openings.
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:
(2)
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.
ƽDANGER
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
Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect screens
To inspect the spider/insect screens, remove the control panel. If there is
dust or dirt on the screens, remove the burners for cleaning the screens.
Brush the spider/inspect screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old
toothbrush).
ƽ CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect screens with
hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect
screens or enlarge the screen openings.
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.
