10. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS at the source and disconnect BEFORE SERVICING.
1. This barbecue should be inspected at least annually. After a lengthy storage, the barbecue should be checked for
gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution. (See #4 for leak testing instructions.)
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME. DO NOT USE IF A GAS LEAK IS DETECTED.
2. Visually check the burner flames. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which
may not be burning or are not burning properly. Ensure the insect screens are free of dust, insects or any other debris.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT: The air shutter is factory set and should not have to be adjusted under normal condi-
tions. However, some extreme field conditions may exist that require adjustment. Main burner air shutters are set open
at 1/8" (0.125"). The back burner is set at 3/8" (0.375") for natural gas, and fully open for propane.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER!
DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS WHEN CLEANING.
3. The barbecue area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and
liquids.
4. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.
