Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for opti- mal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and LP gas mix- ture. (See diagram below)
Yellow Tip
·Never leave your LP gas grill unattended during use or cleaning.
After each cooking session, close the hood (Bonza™ series only) and turn the grill burners to the “high” position and burn for five minutes. This procedure will burn off cook- ing residue, thus making cleaning easier.
Turn off Your LP Gas Grill
Primarily Blue
Flame
The flame should be checked before the initial cooking ses- sion and periodically throughout the grilling season, espe- cially after storing the grill over a long period of time. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, then you are not getting the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air /LP gas mixture. This could be a result of a blocked burner from grease drip- pings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. You should follow the Burner Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning the burners.
Grill Cooking
The cast iron burners heat up the Ceramic Briquettes underneath the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot Ceramic Briquettes below and vaporize. The subse- quent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.
Roasting Hood Cooking
(Bonza & Bonza Deluxe Series Only)
Grills equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as roasts of meat, whole chickens, etc. When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside the grill. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make sure that all the burners are turned to the low position to prevent burning of the food. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened. Use the temperature gauge to check the approximate temperature inside the grill.
·The grill must be completely cooled before putting the Grill Storage Cover (55) back on the grill.
How to turn off your LP gas grill
1)When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
2)Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise completely until it stops.
3)Wait until the grill is cool before closing the grill’s lid or closing its hood.
4)After the LP gas grill has cooled, put the Grill Cover (55) on the grill.
WARNING! Never store an LP gas cylinder indoors (empty or filled). If storing the gas grill
indoors, disconnect LP gas cylinder and store it outdoors out of the reach of children.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
·Always turn off the LP gas cylinder, at the LP cylinder valve, when not in use. Allow the grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.
·Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
·Never touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves,
·Do not wear loose clothing (for example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP gas grill while in use or hot.
·Never lean your body over the LP gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
·Never douse the grill with water when its surfaces are hot because it may cause grease to splatter or the porcelain cooking grids and hood to break.
