Leak Testing; Gas Grill Operating Instructions - Nexgrill OAKFORD 810-0072 Guia Del Propietario

GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at
the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas leak test check
must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly
being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system
for leaks following the procedures listed
below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you
should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill
including tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN
FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one
part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to
apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make
sure the L.P. cylinder is 80% full.
TO TEST
Make sure the control valves are in the "○" position, and
1.
turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the L.P. gas regulator and
supply valve up to and including the connection to the
manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the
burners). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply
and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings,
turn off the gas supply and contact customer service at
1-800-913-8999.
GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL
Each burner is rated at 10,000 BTU/HR. The grill burners
are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease
and debris. The knobs are located on the lower center
portion of the control panel. Each knob is labeled on the
control panel.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The
more thoroughly the grill is preheated, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should
be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all
connections have been checked and do not leak.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to
shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may
make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the
burners should be visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,
excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist,
check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by
dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If you have any questions
regarding flame stability, please call customer service
1-800-913-8999.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER CONNECTING
THE L.P. TANK
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near
the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the
fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
Your grill is ready to use!

Gas Grill Operating Instructions

USING THE GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning.
However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it
may be necessary to turn the heat to the lower setting after
the initial browning. This cooks the food through without
burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods
basted with a sugary marinade may need the lower heat
setting near the end of the cooking time.
NOTE: This grill is designed to grill efficiently without the
use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind.
