FLAME ADJUSTMENT
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in
the local gas supply or a conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust
the burners.
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.
To adjust gas to air mixture, find screw at end of air mixer where it meets valve. Loosen screw
and rotate air shutter to desired mixture.
YELLOW FLAME
indicates insufficient air. Turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow
more air to the burner.
NOISY AND LIFTED FLAME
indicates too much air. Turn the air shutter clockwise.

FLARE-UPS
When you cook fatty foods over an open flame, you can expect flare-ups. Natural juices falling
on the hot lava rock results in flame and smoke that give foods that delicious outdoor flavor
and appearance. Expect and encourage a MODERATE amount of flare-up. Excessive flare-
ups occur when cooking extra fatty foods, or if cooking temperatures are too high.
TO CONTROL FLARE-UPS:
TIP 1. Turn your control knobs to a lower setting.
TIP 2. Move the meat to another part of the grill that may be at a lower heat setting or OFF.
TIP 3. Cook with the lid open to reduce heat inside of grill.
TIP 4. EXCESSIVE FLARE-UP
:Immediately
turn the setting to 'LO' or 'OFF' position, or spray
the flame with water.
