AMD Direct Grilling in Windy Conditions Instruction Manual
PURPOSE
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-back air flow
that the grill is designed for. If you notice that the temperature gauge fails
to rise while grilling with all burners on high and the hood closed, then be
careful. If wind keeps the heat from exiting the rear of the grill, then the
control panel and knobs could become extremely hot. It is important to note
that outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges—that is why
they are excellent for searing and grilling many foods.
The high-performance burners require a constant, steady supply of fresh air to
mix the fuel and burn smoothly. Your AMD grill pulls air in through its front
and vents hot gases out the rear hood (as shown below).
IMPORTANT
If wind is hitting the grill while in use (especially wind blowing into or across the rear hood gap), this can cause poor grilling performance and, in some cases, cause the front panel to reach dangerously high temperatures.
USING A WIND GUARD
If wind is an issue, a wind guard should be added behind the grill head. The wind guard should be higher than the top of the openings in the back of the grill, with a minimum grill clearance of 3” for non-combustible materials or 18” for combustible materials.
There are a few things you can do to further prevent the possibility of improper heat buildup:
- On breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood down when the burners are on high.
- If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt, open the front hood. Then adjust the burner control knob to a lower setting.
- Never leave your grill unattended.
