!WARNING
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire:

The Burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yel- low tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (Fig. 5)
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the flame, especially after long periods of storing the grill. Note that the minimum flame height should be 1/4”. 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. Should you notice that your Burner is getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the “How to Clean your Burner” sec- tion to remove possible obstructions.
