General Maintenance

Main Burner Flame Pattern:

The grill’s burner has been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown:

Tips occasionally flicker yellow

Light blue

Dark blue

If the flames do not appear to be uniform throughout the burner tube, follow the instructions listed in this manual under “Main Burner Cleaning Procedure”.

Air Mixture Adjustment:

The air mixer sleeve for the burner has been pre-set at the factory for gas conditions at sea level. However, if the burner flame is too yellow (this may occur at higher altitudes) open the air mix sleeve slightly until the flame turns blue.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure:

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the burner. (See below) Look inside the burner with a flashlight. Clean the inside of the burner with a wire. (A straightened-out coat hanger will work)

Check and clean the opening at the end of the burner. Check and clean the valve orifice at the base of the valve. Use a Steel bristle brush to clean outside of burner. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open.

CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when cleaning.

Removing Burner Tube:

1)Your grill must be OFF and cool.

2)Unscrew and remove propane cylinder from the valve/regulator assembly.

3)Open the lid.

4)Remove cooking grate.

5)Remove the drip vaporizer.

6)Unscrew and remove the (3) 1/4” screws that hold the burner tube inside grill basin.

7)Carefully slide the burner tube out from the grill basin.

8)To reinstall the burner, reverse the above steps. Check proper assembly before fastening burner tube in place.

CAUTION: The burner opening must be positioned properly over the valve orifice.

Ignition System Operations:

This appliance has an electronic igniter that uses a triple A battery (AAA – V.), (battery should be checked periodically). The grill can also be lit using a match, via the flame view window. Follow the lighting instructions exactly when lighting the grill.

Battery Check:

The battery compartment is located behind the electronic igniter push button on the

control panel. Rotate the push button counter-clockwise to expose the battery compartment. When

replacing the battery be sure to attach positive and negative ends correctly. Check the igniter by pressing the button.

You should hear a “clicking spark”

sound.

Storage, Transport and/ or Non - use

When the grill is not in use or is being transported, the propane cylinder must be DISCONNECTED and the propane cylinder stored in a well-ventilated space.

DO NOT DRIVE WITH THE CYLINDER ATTACHED!

The grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Sections: “General Maintenance and Annual Maintenance.”) The burner tube should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual Maintenance.”)

If grill is to be stored for a long time, remove battery from electronic igniter.

DANGER EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

The cylinder must be disconnected when the grill is in storage.

Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Failure to follow the above instructions exactly may result in fire causing death or serious injury.
