Operating instructions

10
Each time you use your Barbecue, make sure
that:
1. The area around the barbecue is clear of
fl ammable substances such as gasoline, yard
debris, wood, etc.
2. There is no blockage of the air fl ow through the
vent space located below the face of the unit.
3. When using propane gas:
a. The special ventilation openings in the
enclosure are kept free and clear of
debris.
b. If connected to a propane cylinder, the
rubber hose attached to the regulator is
carefully inspected before each use.
c. The propane cylinder, regulator
and rubber hose are installed in a
location not subject to heating above
125° F (51° C).
4. The burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides
of each burner with a steady fl ame (mostly blue
with yellow tipping. See section on “Air Shutter
Adjustment”). If burner fl ames are not normal,
check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect
nests.
5. The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve is
always shut OFF when the barbecue is not in
use.
6. The drip collector hole is clear and unobstructed.
Excessive grease deposits can result in a
grease fi re.
DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM
The drip collector in this barbecue is part of the unit’s
main frame, and is located below the burners. The drip
collector has one hole which allows excess drippings to
fall through during cooking while separating the fi rebox
from the drip tray.
The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape residue
from the barbecue inner liner into the drip tray. Regular
cleaning of your barbecue interior with oven cleaner
or a Foaming Barbecue & Grill Cleaner, following
manufacturers instructions, will prevent grease fi res.
Periodicaly check the burners to make sure they are
clear of debris. The burner fl ames burn evenly along
both sides of each burner with a steady fl ame (mostly
blue with yellow tipping). If burner fl ames are not normal,
check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect nests
(see section on checking/converting the burner orifi ces
for instructions on burner removal and replacement).
