WARNING
• Keep the grill area clean and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors, liquids,
and spare L.P. cylinders.
• To avoid the possibility of tipping over the grill, NEVER
place more than 10 pounds on the side table. A filled 4-
quart aluminum pot weighs approximately 10 pounds.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the L.P. cylinder
enclosure free and clear of debris.
• A barbecue grill becomes hot during use. DO NOT touch
grates, or cooking surfaces.
• Be sure to tighten all hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.)
at least once a year or before each grilling season.
General Use and Correct Burner Flames
Condition The Grill
• Before using the grill for the first time, or after storage, operate
the grill 15 minutes on the high setting with the lid closed, to
burn away oil.
• Once the oil has burned away, check the burner flame per the
next step.
The Burner Flame
• Open the grill lid. The cooking grates should be in place.
• Keep your arms and face away from being directly above the
cooking area. Look through the cooking grates and observe
the burner’s flame below the heat tents.
• Flames should appear similar to the good flame shown in
Fig. 49 and as follows:
• A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip.
• Some yellow tips on flames up to 1 inch in length are
acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
• If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue
may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be
clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices.
Allow the grill to cool before repositioning the venturi over the
valve and orifices.
The Burner Flame (continued)
• Grills that have been in use for a while sometimes begin to
show more yellow flame. A build-up of food deposits, fats
or cooking seasonings can cause yellowing flames.
Clean the burner to remove residue and check for clogged
burner holes or a blocked venturi. Refer to the section titled
“Cleaning the Venturi”.
• Regular use of your grill will actually help keep it operating
more smoothly.
• Each grill may heat differently. Some units will heat somewhat
more to the center and back of the grill. The flavor of grilled
food will improve the more you use the grill and as you
become familiar with it.
