Inspecting / Adjusting the Air Shutter
If necessary, the gas to air mixture feeding to the main cast burners can be adjusted. With the
main burner removed from the firebox, loosen the screw shown in the image below. Rotate the
shutter clip. Tighten the screw and reinstall the burner.

NOTE:
The ideal flame coming off of the main burner is 1” – 1-1/2” tall. The color
should be blue with yellow peaks. If the air shutter is closed too far, the flames will
be much taller and yellow in color. This is because the gas running to the burners is
not mixing with enough air.
NOTE:
Before adjusting the air shutter, ensure that the burner has been cleaned.
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
Before and after using the grill, always allow the burners to heat up for five minutes with the
hood closed and no contents on the cooking grates. Additionally, you will also need to clean
the grates with a soap and water mixture. If you are cleaning the grates after using the grill,
allow the grates to fully cool before handling them.
Cleaning the Ceramic Briquette Flame Tamers
Over time, the ceramic briquette flame tamers may will become dirty from grease, dirt,
drippings, and debris. Periodic cleaning is required. Use a warm soapy water mixture and
scrub the briquettes with a sponge and wipe with a terry cloth. If necessary, use a wire brush
to loosen excess debris build-up. Always full dry the flame tamers before reinstalling them.
