Performance Checklist

A qualified installer should carry out the following checks:

1.  All internal packaging removed.
2.  Specified clearances maintained to combustible materials.
3.  Pressure regulator connected and set.
4.  Manual shut-off valve installed and accessible.
5.  Check air shutter adjustment - sharp blue flame, no yellow tipping.
6.  Check for gas leaks (odors) at all gas connections.
7.  Each burner lights satisfactory, individually or with adjacent burners lit.

Any adjustments necessary that are the result of the installer not following instructions will be responsibility of the installer,
dealer or the end user of the product.

Final Preparation

1. Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. The interior should be

washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any dust or debris before being used, then
rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed.

2. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this

material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders! If it is necessary to scrape
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wool or
nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.

Before Lighting Side Burners

Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply tubing or
hose. Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or
other damage which could require replacement prior to use.
Make sure all burner control knobs are off. Do not attempt to
light the burners if the smell of gas is present.

Check the connection with a soap and water solution after
attaching the hose. Make sure there is gas in the tank and the
tank is upright.

WARNING

DANGER

CAUTION

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Wait at least five minutes before relighting a hot grill
to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep a
spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve
and check the connections for gas leaks before each
use.

Lighting Side Burners

First, remove the burner cover or any cooking utensil
from the burner grate.

Push and turn the control knob until the “HIGH” position aligns with the indicator line on the control panel.

Immediately press the electronic ignition button corresponding to the burner(s) being lit until the
burner is lit or until 4 seconds pass. If the burner does not light after several attempts, wait five
minutes to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.

If the burner will not light after several attempts, then

the burner can be lit by holding a lit match next to the burner ports. Push and turn the control knob until the
“HIGH” position on the knob aligns with the indicator line on the control panel.

Burner Adjustment

Each burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it
necessary to adjust the burners.  The flames of the burners should be visually checked and compared with flame height
illustration.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.  If any of these conditions exist, check if the air
shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc.  With a proper flame height, adjust the air shutter to
obtain a blue flame with no yellow tipping that sits on the burner at the burner ports.  The air shutter is locked in place by a set
screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustments.
To access the air shutter on the side burners, remove the grates, burner bowls, and grate support.  With a screw driver, loosen
the lock-screw on the face of the air shutter.  Light the burner and adjust according to the directions below.

1. If the flame is yellow, turn the air shutter counter clockwise to allow more air to the burner.
2. If the flame is noisy and lifting away from the burner, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce the amount of air to

the burner.

Once adjusted, turn the burner off, tighten the set screw on the air shutter, replace the valve panel for the side burners and the
grate support, burner bowls, and grates for the side burners.

To ensure proper installation of the side burners, slide opening in air shutters over the orifice located in the front of the unit.
