Before Starting Your Grill

• Start with a clean grill.
• Check gas hoses for holes, cracks, brittleness, and leaks, and make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing.
• Make sure the gas grill is turned off or disconnected before cleaning.
• Use a small flexible BBQ brush to remove debris. Also, use a thin wire brush to gently clean the holes or ports of each burner.
• Always follow manufacturer's instructions for proper lighting, safety, and maintenance.
• Have your grill thoroughly checked once a year to keep it running safely and efficiently.

Lighting Your Grill

• If a burner fails to light or if the flames go out, turn off the grill. Wait a couple of minutes for any gas to dissipate before trying to relight the grill.
• A natural gas burner flame should be blue with a small yellow tip. If the flames are any other color, have your grill checked by a qualified technician.

When Grilling

• Make sure to keep combustible materials such as paper products, linens and clothing away from burners.

After Grilling

• Make sure the burners and the valve on the natural gas supply is turned off.
• Keep the hood closed to prevent water from getting into the grill. You may want to consider using a plastic cover for added protection.
