Grease Collector

Periodically empty the grease cup and clean with dishwashing detergent and hot water solution.

Cleaning the burner assembly (Make sure the grill is cool)

1. Turn gas off at the control knobs and propane tank.

2. Remove cooking grates and heat shield.

3. Remove grease collector.

4. Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner "foot" using a screwdriver and pliers.

5. Lift burner up and away from gas valve orifice.

6. Clean inlet (venturi) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.

7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.

8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).

9. Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with new burner. Reinstall burner; check to ensure that gas valve orifices are correctly positioned inside burner inlet (venturi).

Overlap 3/4” between venturi tube and nozzle when assembled.

Keep the center line of venturi tube and nozzle on one line.

If the instructions above are not followed, an explosion may result, possibly causing serious bodily injury or death.

Troubleshooting

Please refer to the following Troubleshooting Guide if you have any problems lighting or operating your grill. Many solutions given here can make your grilling experience safer and more enjoyable.

Problem Possible Solutions

Low heat, LP gas

The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas flow under normal conditions, yet control excess gas flow.

Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device, providing a low flame and low temperature.If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.

To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.

2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.

3. Light the burner one at a time following the lighting instructions listed on the control box and Page 22.

Low heat, natural gas

Gas pressure is affected by gas line and length of gas line from house gas line. Follow the recommendations in the chart below.

Knob in “HI” position

1.Make certain the problem is isolated to only one burner.

If it appears so, clean the orifice and burner, clearing

ports of any obstruction.

2.Check for a bent or kinked fuel hose.

3.Make sure the air shutter is properly adjusted.

4.Check for proper gas supply and pressure.

5.Pre-heat the grill for a full 15 minutes.

6.If using LP gas, check for an empty tank.
