Controlling Flare-Ups
• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats
on a gas grill. This adds to the unique
flavor of cooking on a gas grill.
Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your
food and cause a dangerous situation
for you and your grill. Excessive flare-
ups result from the build-up of grease
in the bottom of your grill. If this
should occur, DO NOT pour water onto
the flames. This can cause the grease
to splatter and could result in serious
burns or bodily harm.
To Minimize Flare-Ups
• Trim excess fat from meats prior
to cooking.
• Cook meats with high fat contents
(chicken or pork) on Low settings
or indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on level ground
and the grease is allowed to evacuate
the grill through the drain hole in the
bottom and into grease cup.
Indirect cooking
• Indirect cooking is the process of
cooking your food without the heat
source being directly under your food.
You can sear meats over a high flame
on one side of the grill while slow
cooking a roast on the other (unlit)
side of the grill.
Cleaning The Burner
NOTE: Spiders and small insects can
spin webs and build nests inside the
burner. This especially occurs in late
summer and fall before frost when
spiders are most active. These nests can
obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and
around the burner and orifice. Such a fire
can cause operator injury and serious
damage to the appliance. To help prevent
a blockage and ensure full heat output,
clean and inspect burner tube often
(once or twice a month). NOTE: Water
or air pressure will not normally clear a
spider web.
Burner Assembly/Maintenance
• Although your burners are constructed
of stainless steel, they may corrode as
a result of the extreme heat and acids
from cooking foods. Regularly inspect
the burners for cracks, abnormal holes,
and other signs of corrosion damage. If
found, replace the burner.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Burner
tubes can become blocked by spiders
and other insects building their nests.
Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas
flow to the burners and could result
in a burner tube fire or fire beneath
the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly
follow these instructions to clean and/
or replace parts of burner assembly or
if you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP
cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking grills and heat
distribution plates.
3. Remove screw from each burner “foot”
using a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away
from valve openings.
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff
wire bent into a small hook to run
through each burner tube and flame
port several times.
Note: Wear eye protection when
performing procedure 6.
6. Use compressed air to blow into burner
tube and out the flame ports. Check
each port to make sure air comes out
each hole.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of
burner to remove food residue
and dirt.
8. Check burner for damage, if any large
cracks or holes are found replace
burner. IMPORTANT: Burner opening
must slide over valve nozzle.
9. Orient burners CORRECTLY by
wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Burner Flame Check
• Light burner; rotate knob(s) from HIGH
to LOW. You should see a smaller
flame in LOW position than seen on
HIGH. Always check flame prior to
each use. A blue flame with little or no
yellow flame provides the best heat.
Operating The Grill
Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid
inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all
warnings and instructions contained in
the preceding sections of this manual.
Breaking In Your Grill
• In manufacturing and preserving the
components of your grill, oil residue
may be present on the burner and
cooking surfaces of your grill.
• Before cooking on your grill for the
first time you should preheat it for 15
minutes on “HIGH” to burn off these
residual oils.
Preheating The Grill
• Prior to use, it is recommended that
you preheat your grill. This ensures
that the grilling surfaces are at the
desired temperatures to sear the food
sugars when cooking. After lighting
your grill, set the main burner control
CAUTION
All cleaning and maintenance should
only be done when the appliance is cool
and with the fuel supply turned off at
the LP cylinder. DO NOT clean any part
in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme
heat will damage the finish.
