Precautions
1.
After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2.
If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas "OFF". Open lid to let the gas clear for at least
5 minutes before re-lighting.
3.
Before cooking on the grill for the first time, operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas
turned on "HIGH". This will "heat clean" the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and painted
finish.
4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause
a fire.
Confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the flame pattern is as desired (see fig. A,B and C below for the proper flame
patterns).If the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the troubleshooting guide on page 17 for corrective action.
FIG. A
Normal: Soft blue flames with yellow tips
between I inch - 2 inches high.
Flare-ups
"Flare-ups" sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners 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 to LOW or OFF, if flare-ups
intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
1. Always turn the valve knob clockwise all the way to the "LOCK OFF'' position.
2. Promptly disconnect the propane cylinder
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.
This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes.
To ensure the procedure is performed safely and successfully, please carefully follow the instructions below. Turn the
regulator valve to the "lock off" position".
1.
Disconnect the LP tank from the regulator valve.
2.
Open the lid of the grill.
3.
Turn regulator valve to HIGH.
