burners are lit.
4. Adjust burners to the desire cooking temperature.
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 and 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
on page 20 for corrective action.

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 propane cylinder.
3. Close the lid of the grill.
