“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
flame and proper gas glow (see flame adjustment) . This appliance should be preheated before cooking with the
main burner control settings on HIGH for five minutes with the hood closed.
Flame Adjustment
a.
Become familiar with the safety instructions at the front of this manual. Do not smoke while lighting the
appliance or checking the gas supply connections.
b.
Make sure that all gas connections are securely tightened and have been leak-tested with a soapy
water solution - never with a flame!
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 and
not lifting off of the burner surface. There is an air shutter found at the end of the burner (close to the
valve) which can be either opened or closed to make adjustments to the flame's appearance. To adjust,
remove the burner from the appliance by first removing the cotter pins that holds the burner to the grill bracket.
These are located at the bottom rear of the burner and can be removed with needle nosed plyers. Loosen the
phillips head screw holding the air shutter to the burner. If the flame is yellow, open the air shutter to make
the flame more blue. If the flame is lifting off
of the burner surface, slightly close the air shutter. Re-tighten the phillips head screw and re-install the
burner to recheck the flame appearance. Repeat if necessary.
e.
Turn burners to low flame setting and test for proper flame height. Flame should be stable and
burning out of each burner port without danger of going out in the lowest setting. (To adjust the LOW
flame setting simply light the appliance on the LOW setting and adjust the screw located under the
knob on the front of the valve using a flat head screwdriver as seen in the diagram above.)
