FIG. A

Normal: Soft blue flames with yellow tips

between I inch - 2 inches high.

Flare‐ups:

"Flare‐ups" sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat plate or burner and ignite. Some flaring is normal and

desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare‐ups is necessary,

however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.

WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW) or OFF if flare‐ ups

intensify.

Shutting off the burner:

Always turn the control knob clockwise all the way to the "LOCK OFF'' position.

Promptly disconnect the propane cylinder.

IMPORTANT

Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.

Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the

control dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self‐cleaning oven. The extreme

heat will damage the finish.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.

Recommended cleaning materials ‐

Mild dishwashing liquid detergent

Nylon cleaning pad

Paper clip

Compressed air

DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.

Outside surfaces

Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Inside surfaces

If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked‐on grease has turned to carbon and is

flaking off. Clean thoroughly with a strong solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse with water and allow it to completely

dry.

Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with a dishwashing detergent and

hot water solution. Rinse with water and let dry.

Cooking Grids – The stainless steel plate grates have a glass‐like composition that should be handled with care. Use a mild

dishwashing detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non‐abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn

stains. Rinse with water.

Heat Plates – Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Rinse with water.
