Excess Flow Safety Valve Reset Procedure; Care And Maintenance - Tera Gear TG 1201 2561 Instruction Manual

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(s) clockwise to the ''HIGH'' position, and then press and turn it to ''OFF''. Never force
the knob without pressing it. This could damage the valve.
2. Promptly turn the gas supply to the "OFF" position at the natural gas valve.
3. 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 leek. 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 natural gas valve rapidly, or if one or more of the
●
burner control knobs is in an open position when opening the natural gas valve .
This procedure effective with Natural Gas.
●
To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions:
●
1. Close the natural gas valve .
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the natural gas inlet.
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 natural gas supply.
10. Slowly turn the natural gas valve ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.
11. With the lid open: For grill with ignition button: turn on only ONE burner control knob to the HIGH position.
Ignite the grill by pushing the ignition button. For grill with an automatic ignition: Push down the control knob
you want to light, turn counterclockwise until you hear the ignition click.
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, turn them on only ONE AT A TIME.
13. When all front burners are lit, close the grill lid.
14. Wait for 10-15 minutes; the temperature should reach 400 – 450°F.
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
CAUTION:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and
the natural gas hose disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage
the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the
grill before and after cooking is recommended.
