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, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. 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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
- 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 combustion and ventilation air.
- Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
- Visually check the burners.
- Clean the anti-flare screen with mild detergent to remove the bacteria or fungi. The fats and oils
also contain inorganic and organic acids which can cause corrosion on the sureface of the burner
components.
Normal:
Soft blue flames
Out of Adjustment:
Hard blue
flames- too much air
Poor Combustion:
wavy, yellow
flames- too little air

GENERAL CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow label
instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water
and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Use the vinyl grill cover to protect finish from weather.
