FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
This procedure outlines how to check for proper burner flame
characteristics.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with little yellow tips,
with no excessive noise, or lifting. If the flame is yellow, it
indicates insufficient air. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift
away from the burner, it indicates too much air. If any of these
conditions exist, call our customer service line. Visually check
the burner flames prior to each use. The flames should look
like this picture. If not, refer to the burner maintenance part of this manual.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustible and ventilation air.
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can
lead to a fire beneath the grill.
STEEL SURFACES
There are different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest one for cleaning
first and scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless
steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of
grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the
appearance of rust. To remove, use a soft abrasive pad in conjunction with a stainless steel
cleaner.
GREASE CUP
The grease cup should be emptied, wiped down periodically, then washed with a mild detergent
and warm water solution. Check the grease cup
frequently. Don’t allow excess grease to
accumulate and overflow the grease cup.
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner, as it must be correctly centered on the
orifice before an attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how
often you use the grill.
