WHAT IS LP GAS?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG, 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 disposable
cartridge, LPG is a liquid. As pressure is released
from the cartridge, the liquid readily vaporizes and
becomes LP gas.
• LPG has an odour similar to natural gas.
You should be aware of this odour.
• LPG is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may
collect in low areas and resist dispersion.
DANGER
NEVER store a spare cartridge under or
near this gas grill. Failure to follow this
statement exactly may result in a fire
causing death or serious injury.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR
DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGES
There are various guidelines and safety factors
that you need to keep in mind when using liquified
petroleum gas (LPG). Carefully follow these
instructions before using your gas grill.
• Do not use a damaged, dented, or rusty
cartridge.
• Handle "empty" cartridges with the same care
as you handle full cartridges. Even when a
cartridge is empty of liquid, there may still be
gas pressure inside the cartridge.
• Cartridges should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the cartridge where
temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the
cartridge will become too hot to hold by hand).
For example: do not leave the cartridge in a car
on a hot day.
• Cartridges must be kept out of reach
of children.
• Leak-test the joint where the regulator
connects to the cartridgeeach time a
reconnection occurs. For example: test each
time the cartridge is reinstalled.
• The areas around the cartridge must be free
and clear from debris.
• The cartridge should not be changed in the
proximity of an ignition source.
• Always close the regulator gas control valve
before disconnecting regulator.
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 cartridge 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.
• Do not store a disconnected cartridge in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
• The 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.")

GAS IGNITION SYSTEM
™
• Check that the bowl and the high capacity ash
catcher are free from debris that might obstruct
the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
• The burner tube should also be checked
for any obstructions. (Refer to "ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE.")
REGULATOR CONNECTIONS
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Change the flexible hose when national
regulations stipulate this as a requirement.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not
be altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be
dangerous.
BURNER USAGE
The gas burner feature on your Summit
grill operates at 2.9 kWh. It is for igniting the
charcoal only. It should never be used for cooking.
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE
Use only butane/propane disposable cartridges
with a minimum capacity of 430g and a maximum
capacity of 460g. The cartridge must have an EN417
valve as illustrated (A).
CAUTION: Use cartridges that are
marked "Propane Fuel" or "Butane-
Propane Mix" only.
1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off
( ) position.
2. Make sure the regulator control knob is turned
off by turning counter-clockwise to the off
position.
3. Push cartridge into regulator and turn
clockwise until tight (B).
WARNING: Hand tighten only. Using
excessive force could damage the
regulator coupling and cartridge valve.
This could cause a leak or prevent
gas flow.
REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE
When your cartridge needs to be replaced, follow
these instructions to remove it.
1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off (
) position.
2. Make sure the regulator control knob is turned
off by turning counter-clockwise to the off
position.
3. Unscrew propane cartridge from regulator.
