Vermont Casting VM658, VM448 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 before turning off the main supply valve 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 possibil- ity of an accidental fire.

WARNING

Never allow the Grill to operate while unattended to prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting.

Always monitor the Grill carefully while cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW), or OFF, if flare-ups intensify.

fraying, cracking or rodent damage before light- ing the grill and, if necessary, install a replacement obtained from the manufacturer prior to lighting

the grill.

3. Always turn on the propane gas supply valve at the	B168
