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.
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.
MATCH LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:
Never stand directly over the Grill when lighting the
main burners, to avoid exposure to possible flare-ups.
1. a. Always open the Hood completely and inspect
the Grill and burners 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 light-
ing the grill and, if necessary, install a replacement
obtained from the manufacturer prior to lighting
the grill.
2. Always confirm that all of the burner control
knobs are in the OFF position before opening the
gas supply.
3. Always turn on the propane gas supply valve at the
tank (1 to 2 turns) or turn on the main natural gas
supply valve.
4. Insert a lit match or a butane lighter into the match lighting hole located on the left hand side of the base. (Fig. 10)
5. Turn the left Burner Control Knob to the HIGH position by pushing down on the knob and turning it counter-
clockwise.
Never store flammable or easily combustible objects (matches, butane lighters, cloths, etc.) in the pull out food
warming drawer (if equipped).
