Turning The Burners Off; Flare-Ups; Match Lighting The Main Burner - Vermont Castings Signature VCS301 Series User Manual

Turning the Burners �ff
1. Always turn the burner control knob(s) to the OFF position before turning off the main supply valve
when cooking has been completed.
2. Promptly turn OFF the gas supply valve at the propane cylinder or at the main natural gas supply
line.
3. Close the Hood of the Grill.

Flare-UPs

"Flare-ups" sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot sear plates or burners and ignite. Some
flaring is normal and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Control-
ling the intensity of the flare-ups is also desirable, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked
foods and to prevent the possibility of an accidental fire.
WarnInG
Never allow the Grill to operate while unattended to prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting.
Always monitor the Grill carefully while cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW), or OFF,
if flare-ups intensify.
