USE AND CARE
Burner Flame Check
•
Remove cooking grates. 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

Clean cooking grates.
•
Store in dry location.

General Grill Cleaning
•
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for
paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never
be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill
cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to
completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
•
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
•
Do not use citrisol, 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 specially formulated cleaner.
Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
•
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm
soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
•
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash
with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after
each use. Baked-on grease deposits 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: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill 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.
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.
