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 clockwise all the way to the “LOCK OFF’’ position.
2. Promptly disconnect the propane cylinder
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.
This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes.
To ensure the procedure is performed safely and successfully, please carefully follow the instructions below. Turn the
regulator valve to the “lock off” position”.
1. Disconnect the LP tank from the regulator valve.
2. Open the lid of the grill.
3. Turn regulator valve to HIGH.
4. Wait at least 1 minute.
5. Turn the regulator valve to the “lock off” position”.
6. Wait for at least 5 minutes.
7. Re-connect the LP tank to the regulator valve.
8. With the lid open, turn the regulator valve to the high position and light the grill.
9. Observe flame height when lit: Flame should be a blue/yellow color between 1 to 2 inches high.
10. If the grill does not, turn the regulator valve to the “lock off” position” and disconnect the LP tank. Then, contact the
customer service center for further assistance.
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.
