Care & Maintenance - Louisiana Grills LG4BGGC1 Assembly And Operation Manual

CHECKING THE GAS LEVEL
To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the tank and
slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your tank;
if ¾ empty, replace with full tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material
will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
CLEANING FREQUENCY
Any Louisiana Grills unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and
maintenance tips to service your grill:
1. BURNER COMPONENTS
• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on
the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and
lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the grill or before an extended period
of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result
of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food deposits
on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.
2. INSIDE SURFACES
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush (brass or soft metal), remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best
practice is to do this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris
on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience
a grease fire, carefully remove the food, turn the grill off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of foods that are cooked.
3. OUTSIDE SURFACES
• This grill is made of stainless steel, which is non-rusting in certain conditions. After initial grilling, certain areas of the
grill may discolor. This is normal discoloration caused by the intense heat from the burner. Specks of grease can gather
on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a
stainless steel cleaner. Wipe your grill down after each use.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with the
gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).
