Can I convert
my gas grill from
one fuel
source
to another?
No. Your gas grill
is manufactured
to specific
standards
developed
by CSA and ANSI for
your
safety
and grilling
performance
for LP
Gas. We do not offer conversion
kits nor do
we recommend
you change
the fuel type.
How
are your
grills
tested?
Our grills are tested
and certified
by CSA, a
leading
worldwide
independent
testing
center,
to meet or exceed
various
CSA and ANSI
standards
along
with various
performance
standards.
The burners
and gas line in each
grill are also individually
tested
when
each
grill comes
off the assembly
line just
prior to
packaging.
Each burner
is ignited
for this test.
What
is the
humming
noise
I sometimes
here
coming
from
my regulator?
The humming
sound you can hear is just gas
flowing
through
the regulator.
There
is no
need to be concerned
with a low volume
of
noise.
My grill has a low flame
on some
burners,
or
some
burners
will
not light
at all. What
can
cause
this?
This can be caused
by the regulator's
flow
limiting
device,
which
is generated
by a
sudden
change
in pressure.
Opening
the tank
valve too quickly
can cause this. In this case,
close the LP tank valve and disconnect
from
the regulator.
Let it stand
for 10 minutes.
Reconnect
the regulator
to the LP tank.
Open
the grill lid. Slowly
open the LP tank valve.
Follow the burner
lighting
procedures
and
light the burner
furthest
from the LP tank.
Continue
to light the other
burners
as you
move
towards
the LP tank.
Can I use ceramic
plates,
briquettes
of any kind,
or lava
rocks?
No. Your grill is designed
for use only with
heat diffusers.
Grease
drips
down on to the
diffusers
and is burned,
creating
steam
and
additional
flavor.
