Adjustment Instructions
Note: The air shutter adjustment must be done by a certified technician.
•
Remove the grate and flame tamer.
•
Lift out the burner, loosen the set screw and then put the burner back in
place and light it.
•
If the flame is excessively yellow, indicating insufficient air, carefully turn
the air shutter clockwise to allow more air to the burner.
•
If the flame is noisy (sounds like a torch) and tends to lift away from the
burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise
(Figure 13).
•
After the burner cools down, remove it, tighten the air shutter set screw
and reinstall the burner, flame tamers and grates.
•
Finally check all the burners for proper operation. Make sure the control
knobs turn freely and completely through their full range.
Before You Light the Grill
Perform the Following Checks
•
Make sure all gas connections are tight and leak tested and that you do not
smell gas. If so, shut everything off and have a qualified technician check
for leaks.
•
Ensure that the cooking surfaces are clean and hygienic.
•
Check that the control knobs are in the "OFF" position. Do not attempt to
light the burners if the smell of gas is present.
•
Check that the gas supply is turned on.
•
Ensure that the hood of the grill and the lid of the side burner are in the up
position. A build up of gas inside the hood is dangerous.
•
Make sure the drip tray is in place.
•
Make sure the wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing directly on the
back of grill.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
• Always keep the lid open (side-burner lids must be completely removed) when lighting
your grill.
• Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion,
property damage, personal injury or death.
• Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner
doesn't light within 5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate,
and repeat the lighting procedure.
