BURNER FLAME / AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the U-burners should be visually checked. Flames should be blue and stable with little to no yellow tips, no excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, remove the burner and check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc.

WINDY CONDITIONS High performance gas grills like Delta Heat produce intense heat. This is how they sear foods to lock in moisture and natural flavors. HOT AIR These high performance burners requires a constant steady supply of fresh air to mix with fuel. The grill is designed to pull air in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear. Using grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-toback air flow.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT STAINLESS STEEL & GENERAL PRODUCT CARE To keep your Delta Heat products free of surface corrosion and in good working order, it is important to take additional precautions under certain conditions. If your Delta Heat products are located in corrosive conditions, such as: • A coastal environment where corrosive salty air is present. • Near a swimming pool, hot tub or water feature with exposure to corrosive pool chemicals and/or chlorinated water.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE - CONT. Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction of the grain.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE - CONT. BURNERS Burners are made of heavy gauge stainless steel and can be soaked in water and cleaned with a wire brush. Check every port hole for clogs. Use a wire pin to clean out clogged ports. Make sure the burner is dry before installing it back into the grill. INFRARED SEAR ZONE BURNER The infrared burner has stainless housing and protective screen.
