Always check especially after long periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the 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. GRILL COOKING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, death or grill damage: · Always make sure the Grease Cup is empty and properly installed in the wire ring under the Bowl before cooking to prevent a grease fire . · Do not leave any utensils on a hot Cooking Grid or cookware. Cooking on the Grids: The burners heat up the Flame Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flame Diffusers below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor. CAUTION · Do not preheat grids over 5 minutes. The porcelain coating could be damaged. · Use only long-handled heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the porcelain coating. 15 WARMING RACK Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. When opening the hood, be alert of dripping fat from the warming rack which could then drip onto the barbecue causing a mess. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use. ROASTING COOKING To avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside: · Open the hood carefully when grill roasting. Closing the Hood forms an ‘oven’ and traps a large amount of heat for roasting whole meats, chickens, etc. Therefore, it is IMPORTANT that the burner is turned to the “Low “ position to prevent burning of the food. To contain juices and fat, place the food to bake or roast in a metal baking tray. Monitor the cooking temperature and time with a meat thermometer. Avoid lifting the hood frequently as heat is lost each time. OPERATING THE GAS GRILL To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death: · Never use charcoal in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. · 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 the cover back on the grill. · Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces. · Do not operate a gas grill if you are aware of or suspect a gas leak. · Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use. · Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris. · Always open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill to prevent an explosion from accumulation of gas. · Do not use the grill without the Drip Cup in place. Empty excess grease to avoid a fire under the grill. · If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. (See Performing a Leak Test.) · Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have an BC fire extinguisher accessible. Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease or the water splatters could occur. · If your gas grill catches on fire: -If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the control knobs on the control panel, then turn them to the off position. -If the fire is in one of the hoses, and you can safely reach the LP cylinder valve, then shut the valve off. - 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 wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot. · Do not lean your body over the 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 burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside. · Do not allow children to operate or play near a 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. · When grill is not in use, turn off all grill control knobs, LP cylinder valve and disconnect the LP cylinder. END OF COOKING SESSION To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, fire or death: · Allow grill and grease in the Drip Cup to completely cool before emptying, han...
