Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal
and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is necessary,
however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW) of OFF, if flare-ups intensify
Shutting Off Burners
1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob without
pressing it. This could damage the valve.
2. Promptly turn the gas supply to the “OFF” position at the propane cylinder.
3. Close the lid of the grill.
Excess flow safety valve reset procedure
ﾷ
The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe
practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
ﾷ
A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control knobs is in
an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
ﾷ
This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a
Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
ﾷ
To ensure the procedure is safely and is successfully performed, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4.
Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least 1 minute.
7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.
8.
Wait for at least 5 minutes.
9. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.
10.
SLOWLY
turn the LP tank valve at ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.
