Optional Infrared Sear Burner
How to Replace Conventional Burner with Infrared Sear Burner (A video for installing the infrared sear
burner is located on the blaze website to assist with the below instructions,
www.blazegrills.com
)
1. To install the optional infrared burner, begin by removing the far left cooking grid, flame stabilizing grid
and zone divider.
2. Remove conventional burner by first removing the cotter pin that holds it in place
(unless they were
removed prior to installation into an outdoor kitchen)
, located on the bottom rear of the burner. With
the cotter pin removed, remove the conventional burner.
3. Remove crossfire by removing the fastener in the middle that holds it in place. With the crossfire
removed, place the infrared burner in place, leaving off the crossfire and flame tamer.
4. Replace the heat zone divider and cooking grid.
Do not use this burner with the flamer tamer
reinstalled above the burner.
Note:
It is critical that the end of the infrared burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas
flows safely into the burner. For additional information, contact us at 866-976-9510 or go to Blazegrills.com.
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.
