Excess Flow Safety Valve Reset Procedure - Life & Home GPC2700J Owner's Manual

Flare-ups
"Flare-ups" sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat plate(s) or burner(s) and ignite. Some flaring is
normal and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-
ups is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental
fire.
WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW) or OFF, if
flare-ups intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
•
Always turn the control knob(s) clockwise to the ''HIGH'' position, then press and turn to ''OFF''. Never force the knob
without pressing it. This could damage the valve.
•
Promptly turn the gas supply to the "OFF" position at the propane cylinder.
• Allow grill to completely cool and then close the lid of the grill.

Excess flow safety valve reset procedure

•
The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However,
unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
•
A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner
control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
•
This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural
Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
•
To ensure the procedure is performed safely and successfully, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least 1 minute.
7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.
8. Wait for at least 5 minutes.
9. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.
10. SLOWLY turn the LP tank valve a ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.
11. With the lid open
12. After the first front burner is lit, turn on the other control knob(s) to the HIGH position. **If you have more than two
burners, ONLY turn them on ONE AT A TIME.
13. When all front burners are lit, close the BBQ lid
14. Wait for 10-15 minutes, the temperature should reach 400 – 450 F°
