CHECK YOUR FLAME

Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a

small yellow tip, is the result	Yellow Tip

Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Always check especially after long periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Never use charcoal in your LP gas grill. Do not use aerosols or store flammable liquids or materials near this gas grill.

·Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner obstructions before each use.

·To prevent an explosion from gas build-up, always open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill.

·Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have a BC fire extinguisher nearby.

·Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking grid with water when hot. Burns from the splattered grease or water could occur.

·If your LP gas grill catches on fire:

-If the fire is inside the grill and you can safely reach the control knob , then turn it to the off position.

-If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone, evacuate the area and call the fire department.

-If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the fire department.

·Do not use grill without Grease Cup installed. Empty excess grease to avoid a grease fire under the bowl.

·If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the Regulator Control, turn

off the control knob immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. (See Performing a Leak Test.)
