Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for
optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a
small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and LP gas
mixture. (See diagram below)
The flame should be checked before the initial cooking ses-
sion and periodically throughout the grilling season, espe-
cially after storing the grill over a long period of time. If the
flame is significantly yellow in color, then you are not getting
the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air /LP gas mixture.
This could be a result of a blocked burner from grease drip-
pings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or
burner opening. You should follow the Burner Maintenance
section of this manual for cleaning the burners.
The cast iron burners heat up the Flavor Activators under-
neath the cooking grid, which in turn heats the food on the
grill. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall
onto the hot Flavor Activators below and vaporize. The sub-
sequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards,
giving it that unique barbecued flavor.
The Grill is equipped with a roasting hood giving the option
of cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting
food, such as roasts of meat, whole chickens, etc. When
the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside
the grill. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make sure that all the
burners are turned to the low position to prevent burning of
the food. Burners should be turned off after preburn when
cooking with charcoal. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessar-
ily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened. Use the
temperature gauge to check the approximate temperature
inside the grill.
After each cooking session, close the hood and turn the
grill burners to the “high” position and burn for five minutes.
This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making
cleaning easier.
· The grill must be completely cooled before putting
the Grill Storage Cover back on the grill.
How to turn off your LP gas grill
1) When you have finished using your grill, turn the
grill Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
2) Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the
handle clockwise completely until it stops.
3) Wait until the grill is cool before closing the grill’s hood.
4) After the LP gas grill has cooled, put the Grill Cover
on the grill.
WARNING! Never store an LP gas cylinder indoors
(empty or filled). If storing the gas grill indoors, dis-
connect LP gas cylinder and store it outdoors out of
the reach of children.
· Always turn off the LP gas cylinder, at the LP
cylinder valve, when not in use. Allow the grill to
cool before handling parts or cleaning.
· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
· Never touch hot surfaces. Use heat
resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking
mitts at all times since grill will become very hot.
· Do not wear loose clothing (for example: hanging
shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP gas
grill while in use or hot.
· Never lean your body over the LP gas grill when
lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
· Never douse the grill with water when its surfaces
are hot because it may cause grease to splatter or
the porcelain cooking grids and hood to break.
· Empty charcoal and wood chunk ashes after each
use.
