“FLASHBACK”
may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback exhibits a characteristic “whooshing/jet like”
sound. If this should occur, immediately turn off your burners, then remove and clean them
with soap, water and a brush until all foreign objects are removed.
Before cooking with your appliance for the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid the unit of any odors by
burning the main burners only on HIGH with the lid down for about 10 minutes. When lit, the flame should have a
mostly blue color to it. It may have a tint of yellow and adjustment to the air shutters can be made to obtain a blue

main burner control settings on HIGH for five minutes with the hood closed.
Manually Lighting the Rear Burner
1. Open the hood. Never use the rear burner with the warming rack in place.
2.
If you have just attempted to light the burner, allow five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate.

service technician.

c. With the cooking grids and flame tamers removed, light the main burners and run them on the high
setting.
d. Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal flame appearance is one that is mostly blue
