Vermont Casting VCS5017 Turning the Burners OFF, Flare-Ups, Match Lighting the Main Burners

Operation

TURNING THE BURNERS OFF

1.Always turn the burner control knob(s) to the OFF position when cooking has been completed.

2.Promptly turn OFF the gas supply valve at the propane cylinder or at the main natural gas supply line.

3.Close the Hood of the Grill.

FLARE-UPS

“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot sear plates or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods.

Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is also desirable, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of an accidental fire.

WARNING: Always monitor the Grill carefully while cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW), or OFF, if flare-ups intensify. To prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting, never allow the grill to operate while unattended.

MATCH LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:

1.a. Always open the Hood completely and always inspect the Grill and burners to confirm that all components are properly positioned before lighting the main burners.

b.Make sure the grease cup is empty and grease tray is clean.

c.Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking, or rodent damage before lighting the grill and, if necessary, install a replacement obtained from your dealer prior to lighting the grill.

WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the Grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.

2.Always confirm that all of the burner control knobs are in the OFF position before opening the gas supply.

5.Turn the left Burner Control Knob to the HIGH position by pushing down on the knob and turning it counterclockwise.
