THINGS TO KNOW
Your Thermometer:
The Spitfire 180 and the 330 are fitted out with a thermometer. Inspect the thermometer to ensure no small white bits of plastic are around the edge, left over from the protective plastic used in the manufacturing process. Be aware that bending or damaging the thermometer probe or dropping the Spitfire, may cause the thermometer to stop working.
Your Igniter:
Your igniter has been installed for you. Two igniter lead wires connect the igniter to the burners. Care to be taken to ensure these leads are not damaged. Should one of your igniters stop working, remove the lead wires and clean all of the connections as a first step to repair.
The Burners :
Your Spitfire 330 Grill has two burners, each controlled by an independent gas valve. The burner is made up of the following components: the burner cup; flame spreader; the orifice and the burner cap plate. Screwed in to the top of the burner is the primary heat distribution plate and is not considered a burner component for warranty purposes.
The burner components can be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance purposes but care must be taken to ensure the parts are not damaged during cleaning or disassembly. Use a precision screwdriver to carefully remove the stainless machine screws that hold down the burner cap plate. Remove the screws and the flame spreader to access the burner cup.
The orifice component is the series of brass fitting in the bottom of the burner cup. The orifice jet on the end can be removed and cleaned. If your Spitfire becomes much less hot, a blocked orifice assembly could be the reason. Small pieces of rubber hose from the gas supply or dirt in the propane can clog an orifice. When cleaning an orifice, do not enlarge the holes.
The Gas Valves :
Each burner is controlled by a gas valve. Do not detach or open the gas valves on your appliance as this will damage the components. There should be no reason to remove or service these parts.
