Check And Adjust The Burners; Using Your Outdoor Sear Burner - KitchenAid W10117506B Installation Instructions And Use And Care Manual

The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient
operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions
may make minor adjustments to low flame setting necessary.
It is recommended that a qualified person make burner
adjustments.
NOTE: The burner flame of the infrared burner is not visible
because it heats the ceramic burner from the bottom through the
ports in the ceramic. A minimal height of flame may be present
through the ports in the ceramic. The ceramic plate will start to
turn red after 30 seconds to 1 minute.

wait 5 seconds before lighting.
