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.
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 LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner
control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
●
This procedure effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural Gas
model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank

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.
