or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the

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.

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.
m
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.

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.
