Care and Maintenance

Cooking Grates

The best time to “burn off” the cooking grates is after every use (approx. 15 minutes). The grill is already hot from cooking, thus requiring less fuel to reach the necessary temperature for “burn-off.”
To “burn off” or heat-clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue from the grates.
The porcelain grates have an enamel finish (similar to glass) and should be handled with care to help prevent chipping.

CAUTION
Ensure the grill is cool and gas supply is turned off at the LP-Gas Cylinder before cleaning and conducting maintenance.

Recommended Cleaning Supplies Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.

Outside Surfaces It is recommended to use only mild dish soap and hot water to clean grill and grill parts. Rinse with warm water.

Inside Bottom Pan of Grill Body To avoid flare-ups, clean the bottom pan of the cooking box regularly. To clean, remove residue using a brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water. Avoid water splashing into venturi tubes of burners.

Heat Tents Clean residue with wire brush and wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water.

Grease Cup Empty the grease cup and clean with mild dish soap and warm water on a regular basis.

Checking The Flame For maximum fuel efficiency and cooking performance, flame
should be a blue-yellow color and be between 1- 2 inches high.
To check the flame, view the flame through the holes in both sides of the firebox.

Care and Maintenance

Burner Assembly Removing The Burner Assembly

Make sure all control knobs are in the

Care and Maintenance

WARNING

If these instructions are not followed, a fire or explosion may result, possibly causing serious bodily injury or death.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Make sure the grill is cool.

Ensure all burner ports are clear of clogs. The use of a pin or paper clip works well.
Ensure burner is free of any damage. If damage is found, replace with new burner.
Ensure the end of the burner and primary air screen are clear from insect nests, dirt or debris.

Re-installing the Burner Ensure that gas valve orifices are correctly positioned inside burner inlet (venturi). The use of a flashlight may be necessary to ensure the correct position. View the correct position through the firebox vent holes as illustrated below. Reattach each burner with the hinge pin and reattach the ignition wire to the electrode.
Other Care and Maintenance It is recommended that inspection and service on this appliance be conducted annually by a qualified service person. It is recommended that you always check that the outdoor cooking appliance area is clear and free from combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids before lighting. It is recommended that you regularly check that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. It is recommended that you regularly check that the ventilation openings of the grill cabinet are free and clear from debris. It is recommended that you regularly check and clean the burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.

How many watts is a Dyna-Glo heater?

The Dyna-Glo Professional 4,800-Watt Electric Garage Heater is the ideal heating solution for your garage, warehouse or workshop.

How long does Dyna-Glo kerosene heater last?

It heats up to 1,000 square feet, and operates up to nine to twelve hours on one full tank of kerosene. This heater features easy electronic ignition, a one-touch shutoff, an easy-to-read fuel gauge, a built-in safety shutoff, a convenient carrying handle, and includes batteries and a siphon pump.

Is Dyna-Glo a good heater?

It operates great, it’s quiet and easy to operate but for my specific application a higher BTU is what I need but I’m happy with it overall. I only gave it 4 stars because as stated I don’t feel it throws the same amount of heat my last 30K did. Mount it as low as you can as the heat goes straight up.

Can you spray a grill with water?

It’s never a good idea to load up your grill since dripping fat can and does cause flare-ups. One simple precaution is to simply have a spray bottle of water nearby. If a flare-up happens, you can use the spray bottle of water to quench the fire, and the food won’t be affected by the water.

Are blue flame heaters safe?

These heaters are powered by propane or natural gas and ignite with a physical flame. In general, blue flame heaters are a safe choice for RVs because they are portable and they burn off any potentially dangerous fumes. They heat the air inside a space but not any surrounding objects.
