this instruction could cause personal injury.
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 to LOW or OFF if flare-ups intensify.

●
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.
●
This procedure 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
●
To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions:
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.

2. Adjust the flame by turning the collar on
head of venturi tube from back side of the
grill and do not take apart the venturi tube.
3. Tighten the screw and make certain it is
secured.
1. Overlap 14 mm between
venturi tube and nozzle
when assembling.
2. Keep the center line of
venturi tube and nozzle
on one line.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
CAUTION:
All cleaning and
maintenance should be done
when the grill is
cool, with the fuel supply
turned off at the control dial and the
propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning
oven. The extreme
heat
will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15
