6.Go to “Check and Adjust the Burners” section.
CheckandAdjusttheBurners
The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary.
It is recommended that a qualified person make burner adjustments.
NOTE: The rotisserie burner cannot be adjusted.
Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires removing the grate and sear plates.
Burner Flame Characteristics
The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests, etc. and clean as necessary. If they are clean, adjust air shutters as needed.
IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cool completely.
To Adjust:
1.Light grill using information in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section.
2.Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment and how the flame is acting.
3.Turn off the valve and wait until grill and burners cool completely.
4.Remove grill grates and sear plates.
5.Remove the 2 screws that hold the burner in place. Remove gas burner from the grill.

A. Drip pan
Turn the Gas Supply On
1.For freestanding outdoor grills using a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank: Slowly open the tank valve.
NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not light. If your grill does light, the flames will be low and will not heat properly. Turn tank valve and all control knobs off and wait 30 seconds. After shutting off the tank, very slowly open tank valve and wait 5 seconds before lighting.
2.For outdoor grills using gas supply source other than a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank:
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
Lighting the Grill and Infrared Sear Burners
1.Do not lean over the grill.
2.Select the burner you want to light. Push in and turn the grill burner control knob to LITE/HI, while continuing to hold it in.
3.You will hear the “snapping” sound of the spark. When burner is lit, release the knob. Turn knob to desired setting.
4.Repeat for each of the other burners as needed.
IMPORTANT: If burner does not light immediately, turn the burner knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
■Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The hood must be closed during preheating. Do not use back rotisserie burner for preheating. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.
■Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups.
1.Do not lean over the grill.
2.Remove the manual lighting extension (see following illustration) and attach a match to the split ring.

If any burners do not light after attempting to light them manually, contact the KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center. See the “Assistance or Service” section.
UsingYourInfraredSearBurner
Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
■Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.
■Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is trimmed away prior to grilling.
■Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to sear.
19
■Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side, then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish grilling to the desired doneness.
NOTE: View is shown with grates removed. Grates are to be in place when using the infrared sear burner.
UsingYourSideBurner
