Pilot Flame Adjustment
Pilot flame length is preset at the factory, but can be
adjusted. Flame length should be approximately 1” from
the pilot burner’s hood. Make sure the burner is not in
operation and that all other gas valves are OFF prior to
adjusting the pilot. This procedure should not be
performed while the grill is hot. Use a small flat-head
screwdriver and the following procedure to make pilot
adjustments.
Procedure:
1. Ignite the pilot following Steps 1 through 4 of the
Burner Ignition Procedure.
2. Remove the Pilot Output Knob from the valve stem.
3. Insert
a
1
/
8
" flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem.
4. While visually observing the pilot flame, rotate the
pilot adjustment screw counter-clockwise to increase
the flame length or clockwise to decrease the flame
length. The flame should be approximately 1” long.
(See Figure 16.)
Burner Flame
The burner flame should be approximately 1/2” tall
when the burner is in operation (See Figure 16a).
WARNING:
EACH GAS ORIFICE MUST BE PROPERLY
LOCATED ON THE ORIFICE BRACKET, ATTACHED TO
THE VENTURI ON THE BURNER ASSEMBLY. AN
IMPROPERLY LOCATED ORIFICE CAN LEAD TO BODILY
INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE PROPER
LOCATION IS SHOWN IN FIGURE 16A.
Base Brake
Your Sterling grill, whether you have the Pedestal or
Cabinet Base, comes equipped with a Brake mechanism
for use while the grill is stationary. The Brake is located at
the left rear corner of either Base. You can engage the
Brake by turning the Brake Handle clockwise until you
feel resistance. (See Figure 17.) Turn the Brake Handle
one half turn past this point for full engagement. You can
disengage the Brake by reversing the above procedure.
