Grill Burners - KitchenAid KFRS271TSS Technical Education

Turn the Gas Supply On
1. For freestanding outdoor grills using a 20
lb LP gas fuel tank:
Slowly open the tank valve.
NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your
grill may not light. If your grill does light, the
flames will be low and will not heat properly.
Turn tank valve and all control knobs off
and wait 30 seconds. After shutting off the
tank, very slowly open tank valve and wait
5 seconds before lighting.
2. For outdoor grills using gas supply source
other than a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank:
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas
supply line. The valve is open when the
handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
Lighting the Grill and Infrared Sear
Burner
1. Do not lean over the grill.
2. Select the burner you want to light. Push
in and turn the grill burner control knob to
LITE/HI, while continuing to hold it in.
3. You will see the igniter glow. When burner
is lit, release the knob. Turn knob to desired
setting.
4. Repeat for each of the other burners as
needed.
IMPORTANT: If burner does not light immedi-
ately, turn the burner knob to OFF and wait 5
minutes before relighting.
• Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners)
10 minutes. The hood must be closed dur-
ing preheating. Do not use back rotisserie
burner for preheating. Preheating provides
the high heat needed to brown and seal
the juices.
• Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-
fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken
thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups
