CAUTION

Do not strike or scrape the ceramic portion of the burner with hard tools, as the material may crack, chip,
or break. Prevent any grease, water, or other foreign material from getting into the ceramic portion of the
burner , especially when cold. Always wait for the burner to heat up to a well-distributed red glow before
placing food on the cooking grid. When a burner is hot, it will vaporize small amounts of grease that drip
on it. Always cover the burner when not in use. Keeping the ceramic portion of the burner free of foreign
substances will allow the gas to circulate and burn over the entire heating surface, allowing for powerful
and even cooking over the life of the burner .

GENERAL INFORMATION

SAFETY TIPS IN USING THE SEARING STATION

Each time you use the Searing Station, ensure that:

1. The area around the unit is clear and free from fl ammable vapors, liquids, and other combustible materials.

2. There is no blockage of airfl ow around the burner .

3. When using propane gas, ensure that:

a. The special ventilation openings in the enclosure are kept free and clear of debris.
b. If connected to a propane cylinder, inspect the rubber hose attached to the regulator before each use.

c. Propane cylinder, regulator, and hose are installed in a location not subject to heating above 125°F (51° C).

4. Flame is burning evenly and steadily across the burner (mostly blue with yellow tipping).
Important: Do not operate the Searing Station with the cover closed.

CARE AND CLEANING

For cleaning purposes; always leave your burner on (after cooking) for an additional 5 minutes, to allow
for a burnoff period. This is important to keep your burner clean and operating properly.

As the burner is self cleaning (at full temperature); avoid the use of cleaner or abrasives.

CAUTION: Never use acid chemicals or abrasive pads to clean porcelain or aluminum surfaces.

FLAME PATTERN

SEARING STATION FLAME PATTERN

A layer of fl ame may just be visible above the ceramic grid of the searing station burner especially around
the edges. The fl ame will initially appear mostly blue with perhaps a few yellow fl ashes. Soon the red glow
of the ceramic will be the primarily visible color of the burner top. Though there may be small areas of
lesser or greater intensity, the overall red color will become fairly even after about three to fi ve minutes.

enclosure. 2 more openings must be at the fl oor level (approx. 5” above the fl oor) and on opposite sides of the
enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum of 10 sq. in. of free area. To achieve the proper ventilation, you
may drill a series of holes, omit the grout from masonry joints, or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If
the fl oor in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet is open to the outside, the lower ventilation
openings may be in the fl oor.
