Manually Lighting The Grill; Check The Flame - Smoke hollow PT300B Mode D'emploi

Manually Lighting the Grill

1. Open the hood. IMPORTANT: Make sure regulator
knob is turned "OFF".
2. While holding a lit match near the burner (Fig. 4),
push the regulator knob in and turn 270 degrees
(or 3/4 turn) counterclockwise to the "HIGH"
position.
If the burner goes out during operation, turn regulator
knob to the "OFF" position. Open hood and wait five
minutes before attempting to relight the grill to allow
any accumulated gas to dissipate.

Check the Flame

To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire:
— Regularly inspect and clean burner/Venturi tube for insects or insect nests, especially after periods
of storage. Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the grill's Venturi tube,
obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. (Fig. 6) The backed-up gas can ignite and cause a fire. This
is known as a "flashback".
— Be sure burner is re-installed properly before using grill.
The burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly
with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (Fig. 5)
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the flame,
especially after long periods of storing the grill. Note that the minimum flame height should be 1/4". If
the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is
not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest
inside the burner or burner opening. Should you notice that your burner is getting hard to light or the
flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the "How to Clean the Burner" section to remove possible
obstructions.
