Your burner has been preset by the manufacturer for opti-
mal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small
yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and LP gas mix-
ture. (See diagram below)
The flame should be checked before the initial cooking ses-
sion and periodically throughout the grilling season, espe-
cially after storing the grill over a long period of time. If the
flame is significantly yellow in color, the amount of LP gas in
the air/LP gas mixture is not correct.This could be a result
of a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects
building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. You
should follow the Burner Maintenance section of this
manual for cleaning the burners.
The burner heats up the Flavor Activator
R
underneath the
grid, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural
food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot Flavor
Activator
R
below and vaporize. The subsequent rising
smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, giving it that
unique barbecued flavor.
The grill is equipped with a roasting hood giving the option
of cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting
food, such as roasts of meat, whole chickens, etc. When
the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside
the grill. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make sure that the
burner is turned to the low position to prevent burning of
the food. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is
lost every time the hood is opened.
After each cooking session, close the hood and turn the
grill burners to the “high” position and burn for five minutes.
This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making
cleaning easier.
How to turn off your LP gas grill
1) When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill
Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
2) Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the
handle clockwise until it stops.
3) Wait until the grill is cool before closing the grill hood
and putting on the cover.
WARNING! Never store an LP gas cylinder
indoors (empty or filled). If storing the gas grill
indoors, disconnect LP gas cylinder and store it
outdoors out of the reach of children.
· Always turn “off” the LP gas cylinder at the LP
cylinder valve, when not in use. Allow the grill to
cool before handling parts or cleaning.
· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
· Never touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant
gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all
times since grill will become very hot.
· Do not wear loose clothing (for example: hanging
shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP gas
grill while in use or hot.
· Never lean your body over the LP gas grill when
lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
· Never douse the grill with water when its surfaces
are hot because it may cause grease to splatter or
the porcelain cooking grids and hood to break.

Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe-
cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill
and its components are cool before cleaning. In order to
extend the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we
strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored
outside for any length of time, especially during the winter
months.
