Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light
burners, rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should
see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on
HIGH. Perform burner flame check on sideburner,
also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only
low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low
flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to the OFF position. Turn LP cylinder
OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop
or turn of NG source.
Ignitor Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder or source. Press and hold
electronic ignitor button. "Click" should be heard
and spark seen each time between each collector
box or burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting"
if no click or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder or
source 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 or kinked. Replace damaged hoses before
using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified
by manufacturer.

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.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and
wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic
parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition,
most residue can be wiped away with baking
soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner.
Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn
stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or
nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe
dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill's high
quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and
warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth
after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may
require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad.
Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with
graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean
any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose
bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling.
It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces
while grill is hot.
