Low flame adjustment:
If flame goes out on the “LO” setting, the
low flame setting must be adjusted.
1. Turn off the valve and wait until grill
and burners are cool.
2. Remove grill grates, sear plates.
3. Light grill using information in the
“Lighting the grill” section.
4. Turn burner to its lowest setting and
remove knob.
5. Hold valve stem with pliers and insert a
thin flat-blade screwdriver into the shaft.
6. Watch the flame and slowly turn the
screwdriver counter-clockwise.
7. Adjust flame to minimum stable flame.
8. Replace the control knob and turn off
the burner.
9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8 for each
burner if needed.
10. Replace the sear plates and grates
after the burners have cooled.
5. Remove burner and loosen air shutter
adjustment screw.
a. If flame is yellow (not enough air),
turn air shutter counter-clockwise.
b. If flame is noisy or lifts away from
burner (too much air), turn air
shutter clockwise.
Adjustment should be from
1/8" to 1/4".
6. Tighten air shutter adjustment screw.
7. Replace burner sear plates and grates.
8. Ignite burner to check flames. See
“Sear burner flame characteristics.”
Repeat Steps 1 through 8 above if
needed.
Only adjust the burners that need
adjustment.
9
Adjusting the air shutters:
1. Light grill using information in the
“Lighting the grill” section.
2. Observe flame to determine which

Checking and
adjusting the
burners
The burners are tested and factory-set for
most efficient operation. However,
variations in gas supply and other
conditions may make minor adjustments
to air shutter or low flame setting
necessary. Adjustments must be done by
a qualified service technician.
NOTE: No adjustment can be made to the
infrared rotisserie burner (not used on all
models) or smoker tray burner(s).
Checking and adjusting the grill burner
flames requires removing the grate and
sear plates.
Sear burner flame characteristics:
The flames of the grill burners and
surface burners (not used on all models)
should be blue and stable with no
excessive noise or lifting (L.P./propane
gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip).
A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If
flame is noisy or lifts away from the
burner, there is too much air. Some
yellow tips on flames when the burner is
set to HI setting are acceptable as long as
no carbon or soot deposits appear.
9.Reinstall sear plates. Make sure
sear plates are resting on pins.
10.Carefully slide grill completely
into outdoor enclosure.
11.Now go to the "Checking and
Adjusting Burners Section."
