m CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE

SAFETY BOLTS UNTIL LID

Extensive thought was put into how your charcoal grill was designed. WEBER grills are designed so that you never have to worry about flare-ups, hot and cold spots, or burnt food. Expect excellent performance, control, and results every time.

Bowland Lid The air-insulated, double-wall bowl and lid retain heat for longer cook times and excellent temperature control. The unique kettle shape of your SUMMIT charcoal grill allows for true convection cooking.

Dampers and Vents A major component in charcoal grilling is air. The more air allowed into the grill, the hotter the fire will grow (to a point) causing the charcoal to burn much faster. The bowl vent on the bottom of the grill should be open while grilling or in the smoke position while smoking. The top damper is used to control the temperature within the grill; however, should never be completely closed.

CookingGrate Made of heavy-duty stainless steel, the cooking grate provides ample area to make all of your favorite meals.

DiffuserPlate The stainless steel diffuser plate is used to maintain a consistent temperature and to direct heat and smoke around the food. It is always used while smoking. However, it can also be used while cooking indirectly to maximize grilling space.

Fuel Grate The fuel grate has what it takes to withstand the heat of any charcoal fire. Made of heavy-duty steel, this durable grate will not warp or burn through. The grate can be moved to a higher position in the bowl for grilling and lower position for smoking.

ONE-TOUCH Cleaning System The stainless steel ONE-TOUCH cleaning system makes cleanup hassle free. As you move the handle back and forth, the three blades in the bowl move ash from the bottom of the grill into the high capacity ash catcher for quick and clean ash removal. These same vents act as a bowl damper, to help bring oxygen up to the fire or to allow you to easily extinguish the fire. COOKING SYSTEM17 The WEBER SUMMIT KAMADO S6 isn’t just your typical grill. The top-of-the-line features and innovative design allow you to grill or smoke your food with convenience and ease.

The GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM cooking grate is the circular center grate within the hinged cooking grate. It is removable and can be replaced with any of the WEBER GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM inserts (sold separately). For a full product line of GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM inserts, visit our website at www.weber.com.

SNAP-JET Gas Ignition System Lighting charcoal has never been easier with the SNAP-JET gas ignition system. Simply pile charcoal above the burner tube and ignite it with the burner control knob.

High Capacity Ash Catcher The fully enclosed high capacity ash catcher keeps ashes from blowing around and easily detaches for quick and clean ash removal. (Not pictured)

Stainless Steel Diuser Plate This specially designed diffuser plate is used specifically for smoking food, as well as indirect cooking.

Built-In Thermometer The large, durable, built-in lid thermometer allows you to easily monitor your grill’s temperature. The “smoke” zone on the thermometer indicates when the grill has reached the ideal temperature for smoking.

RAPIDFIRE Lid Damper The hinged RAPIDFIRE lid damper maximizes airflow and increases temperature quickly to get you up and grilling within 20minutes. It also aids in a quick temperature recoveryrate.

Fuel Storage Bag The portable fuel storage bag stores up to 20 lbs of charcoal and ensures that the fuel stays dry and is protected from the elements.

Easy-Open Lid Hinge The lid of your grill was designed with a spring hinge to make opening and closing the lid simple and safe. The hinge prevents the lid from slamming shut, preventing possible injury or damage to thegrill. (Not pictured)

Stainless Steel Wire Basket Removable stainless steel wire basket is great for storing accessories and barbecuing tools. Conveniently located under the stainless steel table for easy access while barbecuing.

Bowl Vents for Low Temperature Grilling and Smoking The shape of these bowl vents allow the perfect amount of airflow for low temperature grilling and smoking. (Not pictured)

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian installation codes. In Canada, the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or the latest edition of Standard CAN/CSA-B149.2 (Propane Storage and Handling Code). NOTE: Your retailer can help you match a replacement cylinder to your grill. REGULATOR CONNECTIONS Your WEBER gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LP cylinder. Each WEBER pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water column pressure. BURNER USAGE The gas burner feature on your SUMMIT charcoal grill operates at 10,000 BTU’s. It is for igniting the charcoal only. It should never be used for cooking.

INSTALLING THE LP CYLINDER

Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of either 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. equipped with a CGA #600 connection. m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked “Propane Fuel” only.

1. Make sure that the burner control knob is turned

off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.

2. Push the propane cylinder into the regulator and

turn clockwise until tight (A). m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

REMOVING THE LP CYLINDER

When your LP cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it.

1. Make sure that the burner control knob is turned

off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position.

2. Unscrew propane cylinder from regulator.

WHAT IS LP GAS? Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such as a cylinder, LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes LP gas.

• LP has an odor similar to natural gas. Youshould be aware of this odor.

• LP is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and resist dispersion. m DANGER NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near WEBER gas appliances. Failure to follow this statement exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LP

GASCYLINDERS There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these instructions before using your WEBER gas grill.

• Do not use a damaged, dented, or rusty LPcylinder.

• Handle “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as you handle full cylinders. Even when an LP cylinder is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cylinder.

• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handledroughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125°F (51.7°C) (the cylinder will become too hot to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.

• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach ofchildren.

STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE

For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) it is empty; 2) the grill is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area; 3) the grill is being transported; 4) the grill is not in use.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet when cylinder is not in use.

• Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

• The WEBER gas grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

• Check that the bowl and the high capacity ash catcher are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilationair.

• The burner tube should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)

U.S. INSTALLATION CODES

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS & GAS CONNECTIONS19 WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK? The fuel system in your grill features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings. Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance. m DANGER Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure that 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. m WARNING: The gas connections of your gas grill have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill. m WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill was dealer or store assembled. m WARNING: Check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting. NOTE: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burner has been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your WEBER gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. (You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.)

1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by

pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position. m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak checking.

2. To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and

water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. Ifbubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections: a. Regulator-to-cylinder connection (A). m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (A), remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a dierent propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after installing a dierent propane cylinder, remove propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Logonto: www.weber.com. b. Valve-to-regulator connection (B). m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (B), remove the propane cylinder. DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Logonto: www.weber.com.

3. When leak checking is complete, rinse

connections with water. NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks. Now you are ready to use your grill.

m IMPORTANT NOTICE: We recommend that you replace the gas hose assembly on your WEBER gas grill every five years. Some countries may have requirements that the gas hose be replaced within less than five years, in which case that country’s requirement would take precedence. For replacement hose, regulator, and valve assemblies, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log on to www.weber.com.20 BEFORE LIGHTING Choose a Proper Location to Grill

• Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway, or any other enclosed area.

• Keep the grill on a secure, level surface at all times.

• Do not use the grill within 5 feet (1.5 M) of any combustible material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, and porches. Choose How Much Charcoal to Use Choosing charcoal or briquette quantity depends on what you are grilling and the size of your grill. If you are grilling small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes, refer to the Charcoal Quantity for Direct Heat chart. If you are grilling or smoking larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or delicate foods, refer to the Charcoal Quantity for Indirect Heat chart. For more details about the difference between direct and indirect cooking, refer to the GRILLING METHODS section of this manual. The Very First Time You Grill It is recommended that the grill be heated up and the fuel kept red hot, with the lid on, for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking for the first time to burn off any manufacturing residue. Preparing the Grill for Lighting

2. Remove the cooking grate from the grill. For

convenience, hang the cooking grate on the bowl of your grill by its curved handles (A). 3. Remove the charcoal (bottom) grate and clear ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the vents. Using the ONE-TOUCH cleaning system, move the handle back and forth to move ash from the bottom of the grill into the ash catcher (B).4. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it from the grill (C). 5. Open bowl vent by moving the handle all the way to the right (D) or by moving the handle to the open position (E).6. Reinstall the charcoal (bottom) grate.Note: Instructions for using lighter fluid was purposely left out of this owner’s guide. Lighter fluid is messy and can transmit a chemical taste to your food, while lighter cubes (sold separately) do not. If you choose to use lighter fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and NEVER add lighter fluid to a burning fire.

B24 The WEBER SUMMIT KAMADO can be used for three grilling methods: Direct Grilling, Indirect Grilling, and Smoking. Before continuing, determine which grilling method will be used and follow the appropriate grilling instructions in this owner'sguide. NOTE: Grilling in a colder climate or higher altitude will extend your cooking time. Windy weather conditions will raise the grill’s temperature.

GRILLING WITH DIRECT HEAT

Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, suchas: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and sliced vegetables. With direct heat, the fire is right below the food (A). It sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking the food all the way to the center. A direct fire creates both radiant and conductive heat. Radiant heat from the charcoal quickly cooks the surface of the food closest to it. At the same time, the fire heats the cooking grate rods, which conducts heat directly to the surface of the food and creates those unmistakable and lovely grill marks. Grill Setup For DirectHeat

1. Place center support ring (B) in the middle

position of the bowl, then place the fuel grate (C) within the center support ring.

2. Pile charcoal on the fuel grate above the tip of the

3. Ignite the charcoal. Refer to the “BURNER IGNITION

- SNAP-JET GAS IGNITION SYSTEM” section in this owner’s guide. NOTE: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal.

4. Once the charcoal is lit, put on barbecue mitts

or gloves. Using long tongs or a charcoal rake, spread the charcoal evenly across the charcoal grate (E). Make sure the lit coals are in contact with the unlit coals.

5. Place the cooking grate in the top position of the

7. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately

5-10 minutes or until desired grill temperature is reached.

8. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a

stainless steel bristle grill brush or scraper, clean the cooking grate (H). NOTE: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

9. Place the food on the cooking grate and close

the grill lid. Rotating the RAPIDFIRE lid damper will increase or decrease the desired heat inside the grill (I). Consult recipe for recommended cooking times and temperature. Reference the lid thermometer for the desired internal grill temperature. When Finished Cooking Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal.

Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish fillets, whole chickens or turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned first over directheat. With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill (A), or off to one side of the grill. The food sits on the portion of the cooking grate without charcoal directly below it. The radiant and conductive heat are still factors, but they are not as intense while indirect cooking. However, if the lid of the grill is closed, as it should be, there is another kind of heat generated: convection heat. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on allsides. Convection heat doesn’t sear the surface of the food the way radiant and conductive heat do. It cooks it more gently all the way to the center, like the heat in an oven. Grill Setup For IndirectHeat

1. Place center support ring (B) in the middle

position of the bowl, then place the fuel grate (C) within the center support ring.

2. Place charcoal in the CHAR-BASKETS on the

fuel grate above the tip of the burner tube (D). Arrange CHAR-BASKETS so that they run parallel to the burner tube.

3. Light the charcoal. Refer to the “BURNER IGNITION

- SNAP-JET GAS IGNITION SYSTEM” section in this owner’s guide. NOTE: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal.

4. Once the charcoal is lit, put on barbecue mitts or

gloves conforming to EN 407, Contact Heat rating level 2 or greater. With long tongs, move the CHAR-BASKETS so that they will be set on both sides of the food (E). NOTE: Adisposable drip pan should be placed between the CHAR-BASKETS to collect drippings and minimize cleaningtime. NOTE: Alternatively, this grill has ample cooking space to cook indirectly and directly simultaneously. By moving both CHAR-BASKETS to one side of the grill, you can cook directly over the baskets and use the remaining side of the cooking grate to cook indirectly.

5. Place the cooking grate in the top position of the

7. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately

5-10 minutes or until desired grill temperature is reached.

8. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a

stainless steel bristle grill brush or scraper, clean the cooking grate (H). NOTE: When using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

9. Place the food on the cooking grate in between

the CHAR-BASKETS and close the grill lid. Rotating the RAPIDFIRE lid damper will increase or decrease the desired heat inside the grill (I). Consult recipe for recommended cooking times and temperature. Reference the lid thermometer for the desired internal grill temperature. When Finished Cooking Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal. D26 SMOKING Smoking is cooking food at a low temperature, over an extended period of time using chunks or chips of genuine hardwood (A). This technique is also referred to as the “low and slow method”. Cooking low and slow keeps the juices and flavor in your food to produce an extremely tender piece of meat. Smoking works great for large cuts of meat such as: brisket, turkey, pork shoulder, ribs, and whole chicken. NOTE: Grilling in a colder climate or higher altitude will extend your cooking time. Windy weather conditions will raise the grill’s temperature. Grill Setup For Smoking

1. Place charcoal grate (B) in the bottom position of

the bowl then place the center support ring in the middle position of the bowl (C). NOTE: 35-45 briquettes will provide 8-10 hours of cooking time. For foods that require longer to cook, more charcoal will be needed. Refer to the “Smoking & Cooking Times” chart for more information.

2. Pile charcoal on the fuel grate above the tip of the

- SNAP-JET GAS IGNITION SYSTEM” section of this owner’s guide. NOTE: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal.

4. Once the charcoal is lit, put on barbecue mitts

or gloves. Using long tongs, add WEBER wood chunks or chips to the perimeter of the lit charcoal (E).

5. Place the diffuser plate within the center

supportring (F). NOTE: Adisposable drip pan should be placed on the diffuser plate to collect drippings and minimize cleaning time. Add two drip pans when smoking larger pieces of meat.

6. Place the cooking grate in the top position of the

8. Once the grill reaches the smoke zone on the

thermometer (H), slide the bowl vent arm to the smoking position (I) and rotate the RAPIDFIRE lid damper (J) accordingly to maintain recommended smoking temperature.

9. Open the grill lid and clean the cooking grate

using a stainless steel bristle grill brush or scraper. NOTE: When using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

10. Place the food on the center of the cooking grate.

Consult recipe for recommended cooking times. When Finished Cooking Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal.

• Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway, or any other enclosed area.

• Keep the grill on a secure, level surface at all times.

• Do not use grill within two feet of any combustible material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, and porches. Preheat the Grill Preheating your grill is a key factor when grilling both directly and indirectly; though should not be done before smoking. With all of the charcoal glowing red, the temperature under the lid should reach 500˚F after 7-10 minutes. The heat loosens pieces of food stuck to the grate, making it easy to brush off with a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Preheating also gets the grate hot enough to sear properly and helps prevent food from sticking to the grate. Wear Gloves Always wear barbecue mitts when using your charcoal grill. Vents, dampers, handles, and the bowl will all get hot during the grilling process, so be sure to keep your hands and forearms protected. No Ignition Fuel, No Problem If the fuel tank is empty, or running on low, you may also light your grill manually, as you would any other charcoal grill. WEBER recommends using a chimney starter (sold separately) and lighter cubes (sold separately) to ignite charcoal manually. Refrain from using lighter fluid as it is messy and can transmit a chemical taste to your food. Oil the Food, Not the Grate Lightly oiling your food adds flavor and moisture, while also preventing the food from sticking to the grate. We do not recommend oiling the grate, as this could cause unnecessary flare-ups. Put a Lid On It Keep the lid closed as much as possible for these reasons:

1. Keeps the grate hot enough to sear the food

when cooking directly.

2. Traps the smokiness that develops when fat and

juices vaporize in the grill.

3. Prevents flare-ups by limiting oxygen.

Diuser Plate Do’s and Don’ts When smoking, the diffuser plate helps to maintain consistent low temperatures and redirects the heat and smoke around the food. However, the diffuser plate can also be used when cooking indirectly to maximize cooking space. Never put food or fuel on the diffuserplate. Tame the Flame Flare-ups happen, which is typically good because the flames sear the surface of the food. However, too many flare-ups can cause the food to burn. Keeping the lid closed as much as possible limits the amount of oxygen inside the grill, which will help extinguish any flare-ups. If the flames become out of control, temporarily move the food over indirect heat until they die down. Watch the Time and Temperature Grilling in a colder climate or higher altitude will extend your cooking time. Hard blowing wind will raise the grill’s temperature. Keep It Clean Follow the basic routine maintenance instructions to keep your grill looking and grilling better for years to come. Be sure to remove accumulated ashes and old charcoal from the bottom of the kettle and the ash catcher before every use. Smoking with Wood Experimenting with different woods while smoking is encouraged to find the perfect balance of sweet and savory. While smoking over long periods of time, be sure to always use wood chunks instead of wood chips. Chunks allow for a longer smoke that penetrates slowly over a long cooking time. Wood chips work best for a shorter cooking time because they do not last as long during a long smoke.

Cleaning the inside of your grill before each use is essential to keep your grill operating at peak performance for years to come. m WARNING: Turn grill o and wait for it to cool before giving it a thorough cleaning. Cleaning the Lid From time to time you may notice “paint-like” flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your lid. This deposit will eventually peel, and looks very similar to paint. These deposits are nontoxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly. You will need: A non-abrasive, nylon mesh scrubbing pad and a paper towel.

1. Scrub the carbonized grease on the inside of the

lid with a scrubbing pad (A). To minimize future grease buildup, wipe the inside of the lid with a paper towel after each use; do so when the grill is warm (not hot) to the touch. Cleaning the Grates & DiuserPlate If you have been cleaning your cooking grates routinely after preheating, the debris on them should be minimal. You should also make an effort to keep the debris and buildup on your diffuser plate to a minimum between meals. Utilization of a disposable drip pan will minimize the amount of cleaning. You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush.

1. With cooking grates installed, brush the debris off

your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush(B). m CAUTION: Grill brushes should be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush. WEBER recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.

2. Remove cooking grates.

3. With diffuser plate installed, brush the debris off

the plate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.

4. Remove the diffuser plate.

5. With fuel grate installed, brush the debris off

the fuel grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Quick Cleaning the Burner Tube The burner tube should be periodically checked for blockage and quickly cleaned. Directions for a more thorough cleaning can be found in the ANNUAL MAINTENANCE section. You will need: A chenille pipe cleaner and a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush. Do not use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates.

1. Insert the pipe cleaner through the end of the

burner tube (C). Becareful not to damage the igniter electrode.

2. Insert the pipe cleaner through the burner

3. Brush the outside of the burner tube with a

stainless steel bristle brush. Cleaning the Bowl For proper air flow and better grilling, remove accumulated ashes and old charcoal from the bottom of the kettle and the ash catcher before every use.

1. Open lid and remove the cooking grates, fuel

grate, and diffuser plate.

2. Clear ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the

bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the vents. Move the handle of the ONE-TOUCH cleaning system back and forth to move ash from the bottom of the grill into the ash catcher (E).

3. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it from

the grill (F). Alternative Method for Cleaning the DiuserPlate To remove heavy build-up on the diffuser plate it can be cleaned while it is warm. You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush.

1. During preheating of grill, when

temperature is 350° or below, brush the debris off the diffuser plate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush(A).

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF

THEGRILL The outside of your grill may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER recommends the following methods based on the surfacetype. Make sure that all of the charcoal is fully extinguished and the grill is cool before doing so. Stainless Steel Surfaces Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and grills. Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes that do not clean or polish but change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating. Do not use paper towels. You will need: A microfiber cloth, stainless steel cleaner.

1. Spray cleaner onto the stainless steel areas of

the grill. Using a microfiber cloth, clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces, and PlasticComponents Clean painted, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces on the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. You will need: Warm soapy water, paper towels or cloth.

1. Wipe down the surfaces with warm soapy water.

Rinse and dry thoroughly. m IMPORTANT: Do not use any of the following to clean your grill: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), and abrasive cleaning pads.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF

GRILLS THAT ARE IN UNIQUE

ENVIRONMENTS If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.

1. Visually inspect the hose for any signs of cracking

(A). m 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 area using the contact information on our website. Log onto www.weber.com.

A30 MAINTENANCE To keep your grill performing as safely and efficiently as it did on day one, we strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the burner tube at least once a year. Over time, the burner tube (A) may become dirty and blocked. Spiders and insects can nest in the venturi (B) section of the burner tube causing gas to flow back out of the air shutter (C). Blocked and dirty burner slots (D) can restrict full gas flow. This obstruction could result in a fire in and around the burner tube under or near the ignition box, causing serious damage to your grill. Common symptoms of blocked or dirty tubes may include:

• Gas smell in conjunction with the burner flames appearing very yellow and lazy.

• Burner making popping noises. m DANGER Failure to correct any problems described on this page may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

The burner tube in your grill was manufactured for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burner tube is performing correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern. The tips should flicker yellow (E), with dark blue in the middle (F) and light blue at the burner tube (G). If the flames do not match the above flame pattern description, or if “popping” noises occur, it could be an indication that the burner needs cleaning.

THOROUGH CLEANING OF THE BURNER

TUBE You will need: A torch, chenille pipe cleaner, and a clean stainless steel bristle brush. Donot use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates.

1. Confirm that grill is off and cool.

2. Remove retaining clip (H) and hose fitting (I) from

3. Look inside the burner tube with a flashlight and

insert the pipe cleaner through the end of the burner tube (J). Be careful not to damage the igniter electrode.

4. Insert the pipe cleaner through the burner

5. Brush the outside of the burner tube with a

stainless steel bristle brush (L).

6. Reinstall hose fitting and retaining clip onto

burner tube. m WARNING: Prior to use, pull the hose fitting to make sure that the retaining clip is in place and the hose fitting is securely attached inside the burnertube.

CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE

If you are still experiencing issues after cleaning the burner tube, contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information at www.weber.com.

SYSTEMOPERATION The burner control knob has a built-in igniter. The igniter supplies a spark to the igniter electrode assembly. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the SNAP-JET gas ignition system, read the following to keep the system working properly. m WARNING: The burner control knob should be in the OFF position. If the grill fails to ignite when you push the burner control knob in and turn it slowly, you will need to pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas flow or with the ignition system. Begin by attempting to match light your burner. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION – Lighting with a Match”. Ifmatch lighting is successful, the problem lies in the SNAP-JET gas ignition system.

1. Confirm that grill is off and cool.

2. Check that the black wire is connected to the red

terminal on the valve (A).

3. Check that the white wire is connected to the

ground terminal at screw (B).
