    Check Your Flame Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and LP gas mixture. (See diagram below) The flame should be checked before the initial cooking ses- sion and periodically throughout the grilling season, espe- cially after storing the grill over a long period of time.

    CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Continued) Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe- cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and its components are cool before cleaning. In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
