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 (LOW) of OFF, if flare-ups
intensify
Shutting Off Burners
1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, 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.
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation
Care and Maintenance
Caution:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and
the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
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".
To ensure the procedure is safely and is successfully performed, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1.
Close the LP tank valve.
2.
Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3.
Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4.
Open the lid of the grill.
5.
Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6.
Wait at least 1 minute.
7.
Turn burner control knobs OFF.
8.
Wait for at least 5 minutes
.
9.
Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.
10.
SLOWLY
turn the LP tank valve at ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.
