Burner Flame Check

• Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners, turn
knobs from HI to LO. You should see a smaller flame in
LO position than seen on HI. Perform burner flame check
on searing burner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden flame drop or low flame" in
the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off

• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off.
When you are finished grilling, raise the grill lid while allowing the grill to
fully cool. If the grill lid is closed during grill cooling, condensation may
occur on interior grill surfaces and possibly cause them to rust.

Igniter Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic igniter button.
"Click" should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
box or burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves.
Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and
release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace
valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn
back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace
damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as
specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.

General Grill Cleaning
•
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
