TURNING THE BURNERS OFF
FLARE-UPS
MATCH LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:
WARNING:

3.
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot sear plates 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 also desirable, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly
cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of an accidental fire.
1.
Never stand with your head directly over
the Grill when preparing to light the main burners, to
prevent possible bodily injury.

Always turn the burner control knob(s) to the OFF position when cooking has been completed.
Promptly turn OFF the gas supply valve at the propane cylinder or at the main natural gas supply line.
Close the Hood of the Grill.
Always monitor the Grill carefully while cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW), or
OFF, if flare-ups intensify. To prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting, never allow the grill to
operate while unattended.
Always turn on the propane gas supply valve at the tank (1 to 2 turns) or turn on the main natural gas supply
valve.
Insert a lit match or a butane lighter into the match lighting hole located on the left hand side of the base, (see
Fig. 10).
Turn the left Burner Control Knob to the HIGH position by pushing down on the knob and turning it
counterclockwise.
Never store flammable or easily combustible objects (matches, butane lighters, cloths, etc.) in the pull out
warming drawer (if equipped).
WARNING:
a. Always open the Hood completely and always
inspect the Grill and burners to confirm that all
components are properly positioned before lighting
the main burners.
b. Make sure the grease cup is empty and grease tray is
clean.
c. Always visually inspect the gas supply line for
fraying, cracking, or rodent damage before lighting
the grill and, if necessary, install a replacement
obtained from your dealer prior to lighting the grill.
Always confirm that all of the burner control knobs
are in the OFF position before opening the gas
supply.
