Using The Side Burner; Care And Maintenance - VIRCO THE CLASSIC Use And Care Manual

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

USING THE SIDE BURNER:

Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the
gas "ON". If there is evidence of cuts, wear or abrasion,
it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the side
burner if the odor of gas is present.
WARNING: Always keep your face and body as far
away from the burner as possible when lighting.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
To light side burner, remove any cooking utensils from
the burner grate. Push and turn the control knob
counterclockwise to the "HI" position. This will start the
gas flowing. Press the electric igniter for 3 to 4 seconds
to light the burner. If the burner does not light within 4
seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF". If the smell of
gas is detected and the igniter is not functioning,
immediately turn the control knob "OFF". Allow 5
minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate, then see
the following section for "MATCH LIGHTING".
MATCH LIGHTING
Hold a lit extended match or lighter near the burner
ports, turn the control knob counterclockwise to "HI".
Move your hand immediately once the burner is lit.
Rotate the control knob to the desired setting. Check for
proper burner flame characteristics. Each burner is
adjusted prior to shipment; however, variations in the
local gas supply may take minor adjustments necessary.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions
exist call our customer service line. If the flame is
yellow, it indicates insufficient air. If the flame is noisy
and tends to lift away from the burner, it indicates too
much air.

STAINLESS STEEL
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic
stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning
procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain.
To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel,
sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the
direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the
surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface
and give the appearance of rust. For removal use an
abrasive pad in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
GRILL RACK
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat
and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap
water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in
the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the
hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any
food particles. The food particles will fall and burn. If
the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will
be more difficult.
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner as it
must be correctly centered on the orifice before any
attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of
cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.
GRILL BURNER CLEANING
Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the
"OFF" position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the
exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn
scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with
a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick
as it may break off and clog the port. Please note if
insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas
through the burner, you will need to call our customer
service line.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING:
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down
periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm
water solution. A small amount of sand or cat litter may
be placed in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.
STAINLESS STEEL:
There are many different stainless steel cleaners
available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use
steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up
