WARNING: 

Adjusting the air-shutter while the grill is on operation. If it still hot, please wear protective gear and be careful. Failure to follow 
this instruction could cause personal injury. 

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.
