WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW) or OFF if
flare- ups intensify.
Shutting off the burner:
Always turn the valve knob clockwise all the way to the “LOCK OFF’’ position.
Promptly disconnect the propane cylinder.
Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
Caution:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off
at the control dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven.
The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
