• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Turn ignitor knob. “Click” should be heard each time at electrode. See “Troubleshooting” if no click or spark.

Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valve. Knob locks in OFF position. To check valve, first push in knob and release, knob should spring back. If knob does not spring back, replace valve assembly before using this appliance. Turn knob to position then turn back to OFF position. Valve should turn smoothly.

Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hose is cut, worn or kinked. Replace damaged hose before using appliance. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

General Appliance Cleaning

• Meat Thermometer: Do not immerse or soak in water. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulatio n of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces. A black surface improves the appliances performance.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain the high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

CAUTION

If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturi’s and burners.

Spiders or small insects are know to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.

7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve opening. See illustration, shown F.
11. Reposition inner liner, cooking basket and top cover.
