Flare Ups
Any time you cook fatty foods over an open fl ame, you can expect fl are ups. Flare
ups are caused by the fl ash which occurs when the natural juices fall on the heat
distribution plates. Controlled fl are ups give foods their delicious outdoor fl avor and
appearance. Excessive fl are ups may occur when your grill is not level or when cooking
fatty foods such as spare ribs and chicken parts, especially if the cooking temperature
is set too high. These fl are ups should be controlled or your food will burn, although it
will not burn nearly as much as you might think even in the direct fl ame.
ƽ WARNING: Do not spray or pour any liquid into the cooking
box to control flare ups. Doing so will void your warranty and
may damage the grill.
To help control fl are ups, we suggest using leaner cuts of meats and trimming excess
fat from the meats to be grilled. Also, your grill should be level. If fl are ups do occur,
use the “LO” control setting and relocate the meat on the cooking grid until the fl are
ups have subsided.
1. To prevent food from sticking to the grid, preheat the cooking surface with the hood
down for 10 minutes. Place the meat product on the grid and allow it to remain
there for at least half of the suggested grilling time.
2. It is unnecessary to keep fl ipping meat products— allow them to sear and seal in
their juices, then halfway through the cooking period and fl ip the meat product
onto its other side. When grilling chicken, always place the meat side on the grill
rst.
3. A light coating of oil applied to any of the meat products prior to grilling will also
help. The use of a commercial spray cooking product is also helpful. This spray
should only be used prior to lighting your grill but never during the cooking
period. Use of spray cooking product can leave a black stain on areas of your cook
grate. This is not harmful and does not affect cooking; however, if this becomes an
appearance problem, the best way to remove the discoloration is by placing the cook
grate in a self-cleaning oven during the clean cycle.
Storing Liquid Propane Gas Grills
After you have fi nished cooking and have cleaned your grill (see Maintenance section
for cleaning) turn your grill off!
When the grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the propane gas
supply tank and the grill must be disconnected, and the tank removed from the grill
and stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space. When the propane gas supply tank is
not removed from the grill, the grill and the tank must be stored outdoors in a well
ventilated space.
Gauging Amount of Fuel in Liquid Propane Tank
To gauge the amount of propane fuel in your gas tank, (propane tank without gauge)
the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move
it down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch of your hand. This will indicate
the approximate amount of propane gas in your tank.
Gas Valve Orifi ce
ƽ WARNING: Any alteration made to the orifice(s) such as
drilling it out, will void your warranty and may result in
serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion
causing damage to property.
