CONTROLLING THE FLAMES
The knobs have three basic positions. You can achieve any flame height between
low and high by rotating the knob between positions.
Note:
“Blowback” is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner , towards
the front, recognised by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner. It is not
dangerous unless allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the burner off, wait a
few seconds, and then relight.
IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR FROM GRILL
- In order for the burners to
function properly, hot air created by the burners must have a way to escape. The
burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing them to backfire, especially if the
burner output is set at HIGH. If this occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. This is
the reason your grill was designed with ventilation louvers. These design features
give the hot air an escape route. Accordingly, never operate your grill with very little
or no open space at the cooking surface (the cooking grids provide sufficient space).
Also, never cover the ventilation louvers with foil or other materials that prevent air
flow. Specifically, do not cover the entire surface with foil, a large pan, etc.
