10BURNER - The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but due to the extreme heat and corrosive environment,surface corrosion will occur. Use a brass wire brush to remove surface corrosion. Clean any blocked ports using an openedpaper clip. Do not enlarge the burner ports. Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. Theburner is equipped with an insect screen on the air shutter, which will reduce the likelihood of insects building nests inside theburner, but does not entirely eliminate the problem. The nest or web will cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow or orangeflame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. To clean the inside of the burner, it must beremoved from the gas grill. Remove the screw located in the center of the burner. Lift back of burner upwards to remove. Use aflexible venturi tube cleaning brush to clean out the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris out of the burner, through thegas inlet. Ensure that the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or other debris. Check also that the valve orifices areclean. Do not enlarge the orifices. Re-install the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when installing. Replaceburner cover and mounting screws to complete installation.ALUMINUM CASTINGS - Clean castings periodically with warm soapy water. Aluminum will not rust, but due to high tempera-tures and weathering, oxidation can occur on aluminum surfaces. This will appear as white spots on the castings. To refinishthe castings, clean them and sand lightly with fine sandpaper. Wipe surface to remove any residue, and paint with hightemperature barbecue paint. Protect surrounding areas from over-spray. Follow curing directions found on the can.TROUBLESHOOTINGProblem Possible Causes SolutionLow heat / Low flame whenvalve turned to high.For propane - improper lightingprocedure.Ensure lighting procedure is followed carefully. All gas grillvalves must be in the off position when the tank valve isturned on. Turn tank on slowly to allow pressure toequalize. See lighting instructions.For natural gas - undersizedsupply line.Pipe must be sized according to installation code.For both gases - improperpreheating.Pre-heat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15minutes.PROTECTION OF INFRARED BURNERS - The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service life. However,there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the burners to malfunction.Following are the common causes of cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them. Damage caused by failure to followthese steps is not covered by your grill warranty.1. Impact with Hard Objects - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. Take care when inserting or removing cookinggrates and accessories into or from the grill. If these objects were to fall on the ceramic, it is likely to crack.2. Water or Other Liquids - Cold liquid contacting a hot surface in substantial amounts can cause the surface to break. Donot throw water into the grill to douse a flame. Also if the ceramic or interior of a burner becomes wet while not in use, lateroperation of the burner can create steam, which may produce enough pressure to crack the ceramic. In addition, repeatedsoaking of the ceramic will cause it to swell and expand. This expansion will cause undue pressure on the ceramic andtherefore it may crack and crumble.i) Never throw water into the grill to control flare-upsii) Do not attempt to operate the infrared burners in open air while raining.iii) If you find standing water in your grill (because of exposure to rainfall, sprinklers etc.), inspect ceramic forevidence of possible watersoaking. If ceramic appears to be wet, remove the burner from the grill. Turn upsidedown to drain the excess water. Bring indoors and allow to dry thoroughly.3. Impaired Ventilation of Hot Air From the Grill - In order for the burners to function properly, hot air must have a way to escapethe grill. If the hot air is not allowed to escape, the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing them to back flash. If thisoccurs repeatedly, the ceramic may crack. Do not cover more than 75% of the cooking surface with solid metal (ie. griddle orlarge pan).Excessive flare-ups/unevenheat.Sear plates installed incorrectly. Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes towardsthe front, and the slots on the bottom. See assemblyinstructions.Improper pre-heating. Pre-heat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15minutes.Excessive grease and ash buildup on sear plates and in drip pan.Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line panwith aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instructions.
