ACTION REQUIRED
Burn Grill for 15 minutes with the lid
closed.
The Grill should burn with predominantly blue
flame. If flame is yellow, check venturi tubes
for obstruction and clean as Shown on page 19.
Clean burner.
Assure burner venturi is properly with valve
Always shelter Grill from strong winds.
Confirm the flow of gas by smell, or by
listening for the hiss of gas being emitted.
Weigh your propane cylinder. A standard
20 lb. Cylinder will weigh about 18 lbs when
it is empty and 38 lbs. When it is 80%full.
(WARNING: Never take a propane cylinder
indoors for any purpose).
Refer to "Sudden drop in gas flow or
reduced flame height."
Trim excess fat from meat before grilling.
Confirm that the heat distribution plate is
clean and properly installed. Remove excess
grease from the burn chamber.
Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.
Turn knobs to OFF: Turn gas off at LP tank.
Leave lid in closed position and let fire burn
out. After grill cools, remove and clean all parts
Confirm that the venturi tubes are not
blocked by insects or other debris. Use a special
venturi brush to clean (see Fig.13).
Use a pin or needle to probe the orifice in the
gas valve. Never enlarge the orifice
Use a toothpick or straightened paper clip to
clean the burner ports (Fig.11).
Corrosion of a gas burner can cause the solid
material between the gas ports to deteriorate,
resulting in uneven burning. See your
retail for the appropriate replacement burner.
Baked on grease buildup has turned to
carbon and is flaking off. Clean thoroughly.
