Side Burner
1. Open lid while lighting the burner. Lid must remain open while burner is lit.
2. Valve must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Push side burner knob fully and rotate it slowly about 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and then press the igniter promptly. The
burner should light. If the burner does not light, turn the knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas
to clear and repeat the procedure.
5. Adjust valve knob to the desired cooking temperature
Confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the flame pattern is as desired (see fig. A,B and C below for the proper flame patterns).
If the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the
Troubleshooting
on page 19 for corrective action.

Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal
and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is necessary,
however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare-ups
intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, and then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob
without
pressing it. This could damage the valve.
2. Promptly turn the gas supply to the “OFF” position at the propane cylinder.
3. Close the lid of the grill.
Excess flow safety valve reset procedure
●
The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe
practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
●
A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control
knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
●
This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a
Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
Observe flame height when lit:
Flame should be a blue/yellow color between 1 to 2 inches high.
2 in.
1 in.
0 in.
Normal: Soft blue flames with yellow tips
between I inch - 2 inches high.
Out of adjustment: Noisy hard blue
flames – too much air.
Poor combustion: Wavy, yellow
flames- too little air.
