Gas Instructions Fill liquid propane cylinder Note - The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the cylinder. If the cylinder has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the cylinder, call the cylinder manufacturer’s customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal, which is permanently attached to the cylinder.
Gas Instructions We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated below. You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
Gas Instructions WARNING : The gas connections of your Summit gas grill have been factory tested. We do however recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your Summit® gas grill. ® Put your fingers under the front edge of the control panel and lift off. Completely remove the control panel (4) from the cooking box assembly exposing the valves, burners, igniter, and manifold. Remove control panel Part required: Phillips Screwdriver. Remove the burner control knobs (1).
Gas Instructions Check for gas leaks Remove the Front Panel by sliding the panel up and out of the slots. 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 leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property. WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Gas Instructions Check: 1) Hose connection. 2) Gas line to manifold connections. 3) I.R. Burner gas line connection. WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1,2, or 3), retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after re-tightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.
Gas Instructions Reinstall control panel Parts required: control panel, screws, and burner control knobs. Place the control panel back onto the control panel brackets on either side of the front of the cooking box. Line up screws with screw holes on both the control panel and control panel brackets. Tighten screws. Reinstall burner control knobs & igniter wires (if necessary). Place corresponding control knobs down onto the valve stems.
Gas Instructions Checking the fuel level in your tank Check the fuel level by viewing the color indicator level line on the side of the tank scale. 1) Empty 2) Medium 3) Full (1) (2) Liquid Propane Cylinder The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If the tank has a defect malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer’s customer service center.
Gas Instructions • 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 LP cylinder and connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories requirements. Safe handling tips for Liquid Propane Gas Cylinders • Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas.
Operating Instructions 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.
Operating Instructions 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 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.
Operating Instructions Lighting 1 Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel. 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 flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Operating Instructions Manual Lighting 1 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 flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death. 1) Open the lid. 2) Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF. (Push each knob down and turn clockwise to ensure they are in the off position.
Operating Instructions Lighting the side burner if the main burners are lit. 1) Open the side burner lid. 2) Push down and turn the side burner control to START/ HI. 3) Push igniter button and hold until burner ignites.
Operating Instructions poultry and fish recipes in the gas grill cookbook. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes. 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.
Operating Instructions Lighting the Smoker Burner 1 WARNING: Check hose before each use of grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only Weber® authorized replacement hose Contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual. 1) Open the grill lid.
Operating Instructions DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control” feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder and burner control knobs, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the grill. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death. Manually Lighting the Smoker Burner WARNING: Check hose before each use of grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts.
Operating Instructions 3) Put the spit forks on the rotisserie shaft. Slide a spit fork from each side onto the shaft so that the tines are facing each other. Reverse forks to each other so that one fork screw is on top(1) and one is on the bottom(2), as shown in illustration. Screw in the split fork screws to hold the forks in place. Rotisserie Assembly Parts required: rotisserie motor bracket(1), rotisserie motor(1), rotisserie shaft(1), spit forks(4) and fork screws (4).
Operating Instructions Using the Rotisserie WARNING: Setup up the rotisserie with food before lighting rotisserie burner. Note - Before using your rotisserie, measure your food at the widest point. If it exceeds 9 1/2”, it is too large to fit the rotisserie. If it is too large, food can be prepared using a roast holder and the Indirect Cooking Method. Operating Important safeguards WARNINGS • Read all instructions before using your rotisserie. • This rotisserie is for outdoor use only.
Operating Instructions Lighting the Rotisserie Burner 1 ATTENTION: READ BEFORE LIGHTING ROTISSERIE BURNER After a period of non-use, before lighting the Rotisserie Burner, a few seconds must pass for the gas supply line to fill.
