Change Grill Burner Valve Orifices

1. Remove the grates and flame tamers.
2. Remove the 1 screw and cotter clip that hold the burner in place. Set the screw and clip aside. Remove the burner from the grill by lifting the burner out.
3. Use a 6 mm socket and wrench or 6 mm nut driver to remove the brass orifice from the end of gas valve. The main burner orifice is located behind the LP orifice, so no additional orifice needs to be installed.
   • IMPORTANT: Check that the orifice is properly installed inside of the burner opening.
4. Reinsert the burner and reattach using the 2 screws previously removed. Repeat the procedure for each main burner.
5. Position the igniters so they are 1/4″ (6.0 mm) away from each burner.

Adjust High Flame Setting Screw

When converting from LP to Natural gas, you will need to adjust the high flame setting screw for ideal burner flame height.

1. Remove each control knob for the main burners and side burner by loosening the set screw with the hex key.
2. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the high flame setscrew counterclockwise approximately 90 degree.
3. Check that burner operates at the new high flame setting. It may be necessary to adjust the screw setting slightly more to get the ideal burner flame height.

Check and Adjust the Burners

• The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary.
• It is recommended that a qualified person make burner adjustments.
• Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires removing the grates and flame tamers.

Burner Flame Characteristics

The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HIGH setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear. The flames should be approximately 1″ (2.5 cm) high.

Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests, etc., and clean as necessary. If they are clean, adjust air shutters as needed.

IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cold completely. To Adjust:

1. Light grill using information in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section.
2. Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment and how the flame is acting.

TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING

WARNING: Food Poisoning Hazard

• Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Before Grilling

• Thaw food items before grilling.
• Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The hood must be closed during preheating, There is no need to use the back rotisserie burner for preheating. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.
• Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups.
• Lightly oil the grill grates or the food when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
• Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to reduce flare-ups.
• Make vertical cuts at 2″ (5 cm) intervals around the fat edge of meat to avoid curling.
• Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.

During Grilling

• Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned several times.
• Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.
• Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This allows juices to escape.
• It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that cook a long time or are marinated or basted in a sugary sauce.
• It using a high flame, add barbecue sauce only during the last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
• The degree at doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (size, shape and thickness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.
• Cooking time will be longer with an open grill cover.

Cooking Methods

• For optimal use of the SureSear™ system, the following cooking methods are recommended.

Direct Heat

• Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed on grill grates directly above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down.
• If hood is in the up position, total cooking times may be longer.
• Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a flavorful grilled coating.

Indirect Heat

• For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method when it is windy.
• Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted burner(s) on either side to cook the food.
• Turn on 1 burner. Cook with the hood down. This will shorten the cooking time.

Indirect Cooking

Place food only on the grill grate over the OFF burners.

Grilling Chart

• Knobs have High, Medium and Low settings for flame adjustment.
• Heat settings indicated are approximate.
• Grilling times are affected by weather conditions.
• When 2 temperatures are listed, for example: Medium to Medium-Low, start with the first and adjust based on cookin progress.
• Cooking times may vary from chart times depending on the type of fuel, Natural or LP gas.

OUTDOOR GRILL CARE
