Operation
6. Confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the flame pattern is as desired, (see Fig.8a, 8b,
and 8c for the proper flame patterns). If the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the
Troubleshooting guide on (Page 21) for corrective action.
7. Always preheat the Grill before starting cooking. Light both burners and adjust them to the HIGH
position for 5 to 10 minutes. Before placing any food on the Grill, clean the cooking grids with a
brass wire brush.
8. Adjust the Controls to a medium setting for most cooking requirements. Applying a light coating
of cooking oil on the cooking grid before heating the Grill will prevent foods from sticking.
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 (LOW) of OFF, if flare-ups intensify.
Turning Burners Off
1. Always turn the burner control knob(s) to the
OFF
position when cooking has been completed.
2. Promptly
turn
OFF
the gas supply valve at the propane cylinder.
3. Close the Hood of the Grill.
