Preheating the Infrared Burner
Always preheat the entire appliance before cooking. If the appliance is already hot from cooking, you should still
preheat the infrared burner for 3 minutes. Never place food over the burner until it is fully preheated to avoid
clogging the tiny ports and damaging the burner from grease drippings and food particles.
Infrared Burner Cleaning
To keep your infrared burner operating at maximum performance after each use, turn it on HIGH for 5-7 minutes
with the hood open. This allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Once your appliance has
cooled completely, use a soft brush or vacuum to remove any ash accumulation on the burner if necessary.
Fuel Conversion
Gas Regulator:
Currently all grills are supplied with a regulator which is appropriate for use with Natural Gas or
Propane.
When converting to Propane Gas, the most common Propane canister used is a smaller sized portable
canister (typically 5 gallons or 20 pounds).
The pre-installed regulator will need to be removed and replaced with a low pressure hose and
regulator with an outbound pressure set to approximately 11" of water column pressure. If an individual
is intending on using Propane provided from a larger tank permanently installed on location, the
regulator included with the appliance can be converted for use with LP fuel (see NG-LP Regulator
Conversion below).
Please be aware that this included regulator can only withstand an inbound pressure of .5 PSI or
roughly 14 inches of water column pressure. Any higher pressure on location will have to be further
regulated before connecting to the regulator on the appliance. Please consult your local Propane gas
provider to confirm the gas pressure on the supply line feeding the appliance. With either setup,
remember to always check for gas leaks after the job is complete (see checking for gas leaks).
