MAIN BURNER MANUAL LIGHTING

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 in and turn clockwise to ensure they are in the “OFF” position.)

WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the “OFF” position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder valve. If they are not in the “OFF” position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn off the LP tank valve and burner control knobs. Then start over.

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 barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

3)Turn the cylinder on by turning the cylinder valve counterclockwise.

4)Put match in the match holder and strike match.

WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue.

5)Insert match holder and lit match down through cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars to ignite the selected burner.

6)Push the control knob in and turn to ”START/HI”.

WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again.

GRILLING METHODS

Note: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

You can adjust the individual burners as desired. The control settings are START/HI, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF.

If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

WARNING: 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 all of the main burners to Start/

Hi, 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.

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.

TO EXTINGUISH

Push in and turn each burner control knob clockwise to “OFF” position.Turn gas supply off at the source.

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.
