• 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 cleaners or abrasives.
• When not in use, always cover the infrared burner
with the stainless-steel cover. This protects the
burner from drippings (from other cooking), water,
airborne particles, and foreign objects (Fig. 32-2).
Important: Clean burners allow the gas to circulate
and burn over the entire heating surface
for powerful and even cooking.
• Do not strike or scrape the ceramic portion of the
burner as it may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 32-2).
Note: Digital thermometer (if equipped) does not
give accurate readings for infrared burners.
Important: When grilling with the infrared burner,
always place a cooking grid above it.
The cooking grid must be removed for
rotisserie cooking.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate your IR burner with the
oven hood closed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the IR burner
with the protective cover in place.

SERVICING AND CLEANING
Your grill requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these procedures
will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.
WARNINGS
• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the unit is completely cool, the control knobs are turned to the OFF position,
the gas supply is shut off, the light switch is off, and the power supply is disconnected (as applicable and unless
otherwise stated).
• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the grill when hot.
• The grill MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up and other food deposits. A clean and well maintained
grill prevents the risk of grease build-up and grease fires.
• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.
• See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
Before Each Use
1. Inspect and clean the exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool grill, clean any dust, grease, splatter, or spills as
needed with a damp clean cloth.
After Each Use
1. Perform a burn-off and clean the cooking grids: Operate the grill on high with the hood closed for 15 minutes to
burn-off food and grease and allow for an easier cooking grid clean. Then turn OFF the grill and use a grill brush to
clean the cooking grids of all residue. Wear protective gloves and use caution around hot surfaces.
2. Check and clean your drip tray: When the grill is cool, carefully remove the drip tray and dispose of contents
appropriately. If tray is equipped with a liner, dispose of the liner. Clean tray in a soapy water solution if needed. For
tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Rinse and dry completely. Replace a new liner and insert the tray back
into the grill. Order more drip tray liners through your local dealer.
3. Cover your grill: Once the grill is dry and cool, cover your grill with a vinyl cover.
Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean
1. Interior of grill: In addition to cleaning the cooking grids and drip tray, a deep clean of the interior of
the grill, burners, and all components MUST be performed twice year (or as needed depending on
use). Refer to the CARE, CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE GUIDE manual provided with your grill, or
simply scan the QR code on the right.
Important: The burner ports and carry-over ports/slots MUST be kept clean to ensure proper ignition
and operation. The guide provides all details on cleaning.
2. Exterior of grill: With a cool grill, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution)
and a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from the outside of the grill. For tough
deposits, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse and dry
completely. Then follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and a clean cloth. To clean
the magic view window (if equipped), use a quality brand glass cleaner. DO NOT
use other cleaners or chemicals.
If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become dull and
develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned,
significant damage and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other cleaners/chemicals to clean the exterior other
than recommended above. Such items promote rust.
Note: Due to the nature of stainless steel, temperatures produced by the grilling process will cause discoloration. This can be
reduced by routine cleaning.

SERVICING AND CLEANING (cont.)
For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals
When this grill is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine and/or
pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/solutions,
it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.
• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel grill.
• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel grill.
• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and
consequently pitting. Under these conditions the grill exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your grill
often and clean accordingly.
Protecting Your Grill
An optional vinyl cover will protect your grill when not in use. Install the cover on a cool and dry grill. DO NOT cover a damp
grill. During high humidity or after rainy conditions, remove the cover to dry trapped moisture if present. (If the cover is
installed over a damp grill it can cause surface rust.)
Ensure that the INSIDE of the cover is DRY before putting it back on the grill.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: Air shutters are preset at the
factory based on the gas the unit
is built to burn. However, altitude or
other local conditions may require
air shutter adjustment for proper
combustion.
Main Burner(s)
Flames from a properly adjusted main burner with
no wind or breeze present will appear fairly steady,
consistent, and mostly blue. If the tip of a flame were
to turn orange, it should only do so briefly and then
become blue again. The flames will appear to burn
while touching the burner ports (see Figure 38-1).
If the flames have orange in them and appear to
undulate slowly from side to side, or if some of
them appear to lift off the burner instead of touching
it, then adjust the air shutter, as instructed in this
section.

Blue flames just

“Lazy” flames with

Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much
air into the burner, which will cause the flames first
to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports.
For the bottom of the flames to move closer to the
ports, close the air shutter more.

CAUTION: Turn all burner control knobs to the
OFF position and turn off the gas
supply at the source before removing
or adjusting a burner.
WARNING
Wait for the burner to be cool or use heavily insulated
heat-resistant gloves when handling the burner.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the
flames will present consistently orange tips and
become “lazy,” slowly undulating back and forth.
For propane gas, ideal settings tend to be just
slightly open. For natural gas, which generally
requires less primary air than propane, the main
burner air shutter may be nearly closed.
4. Once the air shutter has been adjusted, replace
the burner (see BURNER REMOVAL section).
5. Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to
light the burner.
6. Repeat steps 1-4 until the flames appear to
touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily
and mostly blue (see Fig. 38-1).
7. Repeat this procedure for the other main
burner(s), if needed.

SERVICING AND CLEANING (Cont.)
Backburner (if equipped)
The air shutter is set at the factory. However,
altitude or other local conditions may require air
shutter adjustment for proper combustion.
Blue flames behind burner screen
Fig. 39-1
Back panel
Flames from a properly adjusted backburner will
appear as a horizontal line of even blue flames along
the bottom of and behind the backburner grating. The
grating itself will glow red after it heats up.
Note: It is normal for the backburner to smoke
when it is first used. Burning the backburner
on HI LIGHT for approximately 15 minutes
will eliminate the smoking.
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much
air into the burner, which will cause the flames first
to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports.
For the bottom of the flames to move closer to the
ports, close the air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the
flames will present consistently orange tips and
become “lazy,” slowly wavering left and right.
3. Continue adjustment until the flames appear to
touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily,
consistently, and mostly blue (see Fig. 39-1),
then retighten the backburner air shutter
adjustment screw.
4. Replace the burner access plate (step 8 in the
CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE
section).
If, instead of being blue and even, the backburner
flames appear to have orange in them and waver
slowly left and right, or if the flames appear to lift
off the burner, adjust the backburner air shutter by
following the steps below.
The backburner air shutter adjustment is located
behind the right side of the access panel in the back
of the oven, above the cooking grid.
Note: It is only necessary to remove the
backburner back panel, not the backburner,
when adjusting the backburner air shutter.
1. Follow the safety precautions and steps for
backburner back panel removal (steps 1-4) in
the CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE
section.
CAUTION: The backburner air shutter can be
safely adjusted with the backburner lit
if it is adjusted using a long-handled
screwdriver or well-insulated fire and
heat-resistant gloves.
2. Adjust the air-shutter opening by loosening the
adjustment screw with a
screwdriver, then sliding

5. Remove the drip tray.
6. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew and remove the control panel fastener screws and washers
(located on the left and right front face of the control panel). Retain the screws for later re-installation.
7. Carefully open the control panel by lifting and pulling the control panel from the frame, allowing it to
rest on the internal chain(s).
Important: When opening, take caution to not damage any wiring.
8. If wire disconnections are required, reference the wire diagram in the MODEL SPECIFICATIONS
section in this instruction manual or the wire diagram label affixed to the inside of the control panel.
Note: Secure any disconnected wires (coming from the inside of the unit) to prevent them from falling in.
Note: Whenever reconnecting any wires, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the male connector,
then make the connection. This will ensure conductivity and prevent moisture from affecting the
contact.
Important: During reinstallation; prior to opening the gas shut-off valve, be sure the control knob(s)
are in the OFF position.

SERVICING AND CLEANING (Cont.)
SYSTEM RESET
If the unit is connected to the power supply but the ignition
system and grill components are not functioning, a system
reset may be required.
1. Ensure the knobs are in the OFF position, the
gas supply is turned off, and the light switch
is off.
2. Disconnect the power supply cord from line power.
3. Wait 10 minutes then reconnect to line power.
4. With the light switch and gas remaining OFF, test
the ignition (inspect hot glow from each igniter) and
digital thermometer. Then test the lights.
Note: Before testing, reset the GFCI receptacle if
needed.
DISCONNECT

BURNER(S) REMOVAL
1. Remove the cooking grid and flavor grid from above the
burner that is to be removed and set them aside.
2. Locate and remove the cotter pin from the left or right
rear burner anchoring peg by pulling it straight out of
the cotter pin hole using fingers or needle-nose pliers.
See Fig. 41-2.
3. Carefully lift the burner from the burner support and
out from the hole in the forward fire wall. See Fig. 41-3.
4. To replace the burner, slide the open cylindrical end of the
burner around the orifice, enveloping it and centering on
it. Then lower the back end anchor pegs into the burner
support anchor peg holes.
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning of
the burners that the orifices are centered and
completely inside the burner gas inlets.
