General Use and Correct Burner Flames
WARNING
•Keep grill area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors, liquids, and spare L.P. cylinders.
•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the L.P. cylinder enclo- sure free and clear of debris.
•A barbecue grill becomes hot during use. DO NOT touch grates, or cooking surfaces.
•Be sure to tighten all hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) at least once a year or each grilling season.
Condition The Grill
•Before using the grill for the first time or after storage,
operate grill 15 minutes on high setting, with lid closed, to burn away oil.
•Once the oil has burned away, check the burner flame per next step.
The Burner Flame
•Keep the grill lid closed and the cooking surfaces in place.
•Observe the burner’s flame from below the grill bottom.
•Flames should appear similar to the good flame shown in Fig. 21 and as follows:
•A good flame should be blue with yellow tip.
•Some yellow tips on flames up to 1" in length are accept- able as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
•If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices. Allow grill to cool before repositioning venturi over valve and orifices.
•Grills that have been in use for a while sometimes begin to show more yellow flame. A
Clean the burner to remove residue and check for clogged burner holes or blocked venturi (see “Cleaning the Venturi” pg. 30).
•Regular use of your grill will actually help keep it operating more smoothly.
•Each grill may heat differently. Some units will heat some- what more to the center and back of grill. Flavor of grilled food will improve the more you use the grill and as you become familiar with it.
