•PORCELAIN-COATED HEAT TENTS™: Wipe off grease residue using a cleaning pad and a brass-bristle brush to knock off residue. Use care not to damage porcelain finish. Replace heat tents to their correct position.

Moving and Storage

CAUTION

A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.

Moving the grill:

•Move grill slowly. DO NOT run with or pull the grill behind you; it could hit you from behind causing injury.

•DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on the cooking surface(s) or side table(s).

After moving the grill:

•Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the movement.

•Check the venturi tubes to be sure they are still over the ori- fices.

Steps to follow before storing grill:

•Clean the grill.

•Coat the burner lightly with cooking oil to retard rusting.

•For outdoor use only. If grill is stored indoors, detach and leave cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, turn off the fuel supply to the L.P. cylinder and cover the grill for protection from the weather. Grill covers may be purchased from a grill dealer or manufacturer.

WARNING

If the grill is not in use, the gas MUST be turned off at the fuel supply cylinder.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Burner will not light or has incom- plete burner flame.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1.Make sure the 9-volt battery is fresh.

2.Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.

3.Lack of fuel. Check to see cylinder valve is open and cylinder has fuel.

4.Misalignment of venturi on orifices. Position venturi over orifices.

5.Burner ports, orifices, valves or hose have blockage. Clean the components.

6.If burner lights with match but not igniter, check ceramic elec- trode position in gas collector and condition of igniter wire and its connections. Perform igniter test and replace any damaged parts.

7.Crimped fuel supply hose needs straightened.

8.Regulator failure or damaged hose need to be replaced by an authorized service dealer.

9.Make sure hose to cylinder is properly assembled (pg. 26).

Problem: Yellow flame.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1.Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.

2.New burner may have residual oil which will burn off.

3.Clean off any food residue, grease or seasoning salts on burner.

4.Air may be in cylinder if cylinder was not properly purged. Use up remaining gas; the yellow flame may disappear with use.

5.Venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over orifice.
