Holes in Burner
A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip.
Some yellow tips on flames up to 1” (25.4mm) in length are
acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue
may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be
clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices.
Grilling Tips
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
●
Do not let food sit more than one hour before or after
cooking.
●
Doing so can result in food poisoning sickness.
Before Grilling
●
Thaw food before grilling.
●
Turn on burner on
HIGH
for 10 minutes to preheat your grill,
which can provide high heat enough to brown and seal the
juices of the food.
●
Brush a little oil on the grates or food when grilling low-fat
foods of meat, poultry, fish, shrimp or vegetables, which will
prevent the foods being burned or stuck on the grate.
●
Trim excess fat from food prior to cooking to reduce flare-ups.
During Grilling
●
Turn foods only once. Turning foods multiple times may
cause the food to become dry.
●
Turn foods over when juices just begin to appear on the
surface.
●
Add barbecue sauce only during the last 10 minutes of
cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
●
Cooking times will vary and could take longer in
comparison to your home grill.
Maintenance
Your grill requires occasional cleaning. Always apply a Stainless.
Shine Cleaner to all external parts of your grill after cleaning, this
will keep the finish of your grill like new for many years. Keeping
the grill clean will also prevent fires and flair ups. Always follow
the manufacturers’ directions & warnings when using cleaners
& degreasers. The cooking grate should be cleaned after each
use. When needed, it should be cleaned with soap & water.
There is a grease drip pan underneath of the grill that should be
cleaned after each use.
●
Keeping outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
●
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
●
Keeping the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.
●
Visually checking burner flames including pilot burner
flame, refer to
“The Burner Flame”
section.
●
Cleaning outdoor cooking gas appliance, including
special surfaces with non-abrasive cleaners or
degreasers.
●
Checking and cleaning burner/venturi tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
General Cleaning Guide
CAUTION
Before cleaning, ensure the grill is turned off and completely
cooled prior to removing any components and/or cleaning.
Types of Cleaners
Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for
post-cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed
cleaners. Avoid using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely
necessary.
