Burner Flame Check

! WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

•Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

•Turn the control knobs to OFF position.

•Put out any flame with a proper fire extinguisher.

•Open Grill Lid.

•Get away from the LP gas tank.

•Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

•If odor continues or you have a fire you can not extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near the LP gas tank because your telephone is a form of electrical device and could create a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the pressure regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the pressure regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with this procedure refer to page 16, Item 4 of “If Grill Still Fails To Light”, or call the Grill Information Center at 1-800-913-8999 (English) or 1-800-648-5864 (French).

CAUTION: Beware of Flash-Back

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common cause.

To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.

See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 18.

Visually check the burner flames prior to each use. The flames should look like picture, if they do not, refer to the cleaning burner tubes and ports, see page 18 of this manual.
