Operation Of Your Grill; Grilling In Windy Conditions - Ferno SA-3BLP-01 Care & Use Manual

INTRODUCTION
Ferno's firewheel gives you unparalleled control of
your grill. Turning it clockwise raises the burners
closer to the grates, perfect for pre-heating and
quick searing. Turning it counterclockwise lowers
the flame away from the grates, ideal for avoiding
flare-ups and for slow cooking.

GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS

Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the
air flow. This can be particularly disruptive (and
damaging) if you are grilling ON HIGH with the lid
closed and excessive wind is coming into the grill.
This condition can trap the hot air and gasses
inside the grill and cause an overheating
condition. An early warning sign of this condition
can be seen if the grill had been previously
preheated, and the inside temperature shown by
the lid thermometer suddenly begins to DECREASE
or FAILS TO RISE. The wind has prevented the hot
gases from venting out of the rear, and are building
up inside of the grill, away from the thermometer
probe. The knobs and front panel will have become
extremely HOT. To immediately remedy this
condition, open the lid and turn down the heat.
Any damage caused by this overheating condition
is NOT COVERED by the warranty.
For freestanding grills, this condition can also be
remedied by moving the grill to a new location,
such that wind does not enter from the rear. See
section entitled 'Freestanding Grill Application
Requirements'.
The grill and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply

piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
WARNING
NEVER connect a gas line directly to the grill. A
pressure regulator MUST be installed on all gas
equipment. All local codes require this and Ferno
supplies the correct regulator with your grill.
Removing or failing to install the pressure
regulator can result in fire and serious personal
injury, and will void the factory warranty.
The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or
natural gas (NG). It is critical that the gas you use
matches that which the grill is set up for. You can
verify this by checking the rating plate found in one
or more of the following locations.
Freestanding Model:
1. The rear of the tank shroud
2. On the inside of the tank shroud
Built-in Model:
1. The bottom of the Drip Tray
2. The lower left side of the grill body
Ensure that the gas supplied meets the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on
any gas other than that for which the grill has been
set.
WATER COLUMN REQUIREMENTS
Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have
been tuned for the type of gas specified on the
rating plate. All installation and all installation
parts must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, or the Propane Storage and Handling Code,
CSA B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational
Vehicles, NSI A119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV
Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.
