Use and Care

V1.1

Your grill is designed to reach a temperature that you set by adjusting a valve that in turn adjusts the amount of gas

that goes through each burner. This valve is located behind your knob and is the key to your heat and fuel

consumption.

Furthermore, the way to ignite the burners is through the valves, so please understand the importance of the

valves/knobs and the position/care taken with respect to them.

•

Example: If you forget to turn a knob off and the burner is not lit, then you will have a gas leak out of that

valve. You must be aware of your grill's status and be responsible!

When you first ignite your grill, burn the grill to get rid of any odors or trace debris that may be left over from

manufacturing and transit. This is done by operating your grill at the "HIGH" setting with the hood closed for

no more than 5 minutes. After you have "burned off" the grill, you are ready for cooking!

Burner Use

Controlling how much gas flows through your burner determines the size of your flame. The ideal flame will be blue,

with no yellow tip, and with no excessive noise coming out of the burner. If you happen to have any of these

problems (yellow tip or excessive/unusual noise), wait until the grill has completely cooled and safe to:

•

Check the air adjustment screw on the side of the burner itself (called the

Air Venturi) and also the adjustment screw that resides directly below the orifice to ensure proper gas flow

into the burner from the valve.

•

There are many reasons that can cause poor flames and heat but none are

more serious than a gas leak, so always pay attention for the odor of gas (NG or LP), but do not also forget

to clean your burners (see Care and Maintenance section of this manual)!

Flame Adjustment

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.

Make sure that all gas connections are securely tightened and have been leak-tested with a soapy water

solution -

never with a flame!

With the griddle plate removed, light the main burners and run them on the high setting.

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 and loosen the Philips head screw holding the air shutter to the burner. If the

flame is yellow, open the air shutter to make the flame bluer. If the flame is lifting off of the burner surface,

slightly close the air shutter. Re-tighten the Philips head screw and re-install the burner to recheck the flame

appearance. Repeat if necessary.

Turn burners to low flame setting and test for proper flame height. Flame should stand between ¼” – 1/2

“on LOW.
