CHECK YOUR FLAME
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout
the grilling season. Always check especially after long periods
of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color,
the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is
not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from
grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the
burner or burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.
small yellow tip, is the result
of the optimal air and LP
gas mixture.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Never use charcoal in your LP gas grill. Do not use
aerosols or store flammable liquids or materials near
this gas grill.
· Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner
obstructions before each use.
· To prevent an explosion from gas build-up, always
open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill.
· Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water
or other liquids. Have a BC fire extinguisher nearby.
· Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking grid with
water when hot. Burns from the splattered grease or
water could occur.
· If your LP gas grill catches on fire:
- If the fire is inside the grill and you can safely reach
the control knob , then turn it to the off position.
- If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone,
evacuate the area and call the fire department.
- If there is any type of fire that threatens either
personal safety or endangers property, call the fire
department.
· Do not use grill without Grease Cup installed. Empty
excess grease to avoid a grease fire under the bowl.
· If you notice grease or other hot material dripping
from the grill onto the Regulator Control, turn
off the control knob immediately. After the grill has
cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After
cleaning the regulator assembly, perform a leak test
before continuing use. (See Performing a Leak Test.)
· Do not operate an LP gas grill if you have knowledge
of or suspect a gas leak.
· Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt
tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP gas grill
while in use or hot.
· Do not lean your body over the LP gas grill when
lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
· Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves,
long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times
since the grill will become very hot. Open the hood
carefully when cooking to avoid the hot air and steam
trapped inside.
· Do not allow children to operate or play near an LP gas
grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the grill area.
Do not leave grill unattended.
· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
· Do not allow cords of any electric appliance or
rotisserie near heated surfaces of the LP gas grill;
place electric cords away from walkways to avoid a
tripping hazard.
· Always disconnect LP gas cylinder when not in use.
· Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.
· Remove grill covers and store at least 36 inches from
the LP gas grill while in use. Grill covers are made of
a flammable material. Allow the grill to completely
cool before putting a cover back on the grill.
6) If Grill burner fails to light, repeat Steps 3-4.
If the burner fails to light after three or four attempts
following Steps 3-5, turn control knob to the the “Off”

procedure. NOTE: If the burner still fails to light, refer to
the Troubleshooting Section.
If the burner goes out during operation, turn the Control
knob to the “Off” position. Open hood and wait five
minutes before attempting to relight the grill. If it does not
relight, turn control knob to the “Off” position. Make sure
there are no open flames nearby, then disconnect the
cylinder and see if it is empty.
