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 on the natural gas valve.
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 leak. 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 natural gas valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner
control knobs is in an open position when opening the natural gas valve.
●
This procedure effective with natural gas.

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
natural gas valve disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the grill
before and after cooking is recommended.
