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.
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 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.
Operating Instructions Lighting 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. 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.
Operating Instructions Manual Lighting To Extinguish DANGER Failure to open 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.

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.

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. (1) Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube.
Maintenance 9. Replacing Main Burners 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Disconnect the Thermocouple from the IR Burner valve. Your Summit® gas grill must be OFF and cool. Turn gas OFF at source.
