Excess flow safety valve reset procedure
●
●
The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
●
This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a
●
Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions:
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the grill before and after cooking is recommended.
Recommended cleaning materials -
Mild dishwashing liquid detergent Hot water
Nylon cleaning pad Wire brush
Paper clip Putty knife/scraper
Compressed air
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.
