USE AND CARE
Burner Flame Check
•
Remove cooking grates and heat tents. Light burners, rotate knobs from HIGH
to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH.
Perform burner flame check on side burner, also. Always check flame prior to
each use. If only low flame is seen refer to “Sudden drop or low flame” in the
Troubleshooting Section.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to the off position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning hand-
wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
•
Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button. “Click”
should be heard and spark seen each time in each collector box or between
burner and electrode. See “Troubleshooting” if no click or spark.
Valve Check
•
Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs
lock in off position. To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs
should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before
using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to off position. Valves
should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
•
Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn or kinked. Replace
damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by
manufacturer.
Storing Your Grill

•

SPIDER ALERT!
If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis
and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback” problems by building nests
and laying eggs in the grill’s venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas. The
back-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your
grill and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the
burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the
grill has been idle for an extended period of time.

CAUTION
General Grill Cleaning
Why Clean?
We’ve all heard the saying ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’. This is
great advice when it comes to keeping your grill clean.
Routine Care
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur when grease and
food debris collect in the bottom of the grill. After each use, remove any remaining
food particles from the cooking grate and inside of the grill using the provided
cleaning tool / brush. Perform grill cleaning after the grill has cooled down.
General Cleaning
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped
away with baking soda/water solution or glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm
water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain conditions. This can
be caused by environmental conditions such as chlorine or salt water, or improper
cleaning tools such as wire or steel wool. It can also discolor due to heat, chemicals,
or grease build-up. To maintain your grill’s high-quality appearance, wash with mild
detergent and warm water or use a stainless steel grill cleaner. Baked-on grease de-
posits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction
of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
Cooking surfaces: Ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to
grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
