• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn or
kinked. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only
hose specified by manufacturer.
Hose Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at source before checking
valves. Knobs lock in off position. To check valves, first push in
knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not
spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn
knobs to LOW position then turn back to off position. Valves
should turn smoothly.
Valve Check
• Turn gas off at source. Press and hold electronic ignitor
button. "Click" should be heard and spark seen each time in

Turning Grill Off

CAUTION
INSIDE BURNER
SPIDER AND WEBS
If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak,
check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback”
problems by building nests and laying eggs in the grill’s
venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas. The back-
up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This
flashback can damage your grill and cause injury. To
prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the
burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed
and cleaned when ever the grill has been idle for an
SPIDER
SPIDER ALERT!
Your burner might be different
extended period of time.
General Grill Cleaning
Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
• 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.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s 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.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is NOT recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
