5.7 Using the Grill

Inspect the burner flame by looking through the match lighting holes.

A good flame should be blue with some yellow tips coming from the burner holes. Yellow tips on flames up to 1/4“ in height are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

During operation, stand to the side of grill when opening the grill lid.

Do not expose any part of your body directly above the cooking area.

The burner opening must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.

6. Care And Maintenance

6.1 Care

Regular care of your grill will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the

grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become loose.

6.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube

A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi Tube can block gas flow and can even cause a fire at the gas control valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your grill.

To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi Tube screen cover regularly and remove any dirt.
