OPERATION Cooking on the Grill The Del Mar Grill is highly efficient. For this reason, it is recommended that you do most of your grilling on the “LOW” setting. The grill will come to temperature very quickly. A common mistake is to use too high of a heat setting. The grill will continue to become hotter as you cook. The “LOW” setting will insure proper preparation of your meal, protect the grill from excessive heat. 1.
USING THE DEL MAR AS A STOVE The unique design of the Del Mar allows it to be used as a conventional stove in your outdoor setting. This permits you to fry, saute, boil, wok, etc. • Remove the grill grate. • Remove the radiant dome • Adjust flame to proper cooking temperature. = For smaller pots and pans, place the cookware directly on the three tongs of the radiant plate. = For larger pots and pans, including woks, invert the radiant plate and place the cookware directly on the radiant plate.
A WORD ABOUT STAINLESS STEEL Stainless Steel, contrary to popular belief, can rust. Most commonly, deposits on the surface of the product will trap moisture. It is this moisture that robs the stainless steel of oxygen. Oxygen is the element that reacts with the stainless steel to form a protective layer of chrome oxide. Robbed of oxygen this reaction does not take place and “crevice corrosion”, or “surface rusting”, occurs.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution Burner will not light with igniter Igniter electrode covered with grease or residue Clean igniter electrode Igniter/electrode wire loose or disconnected Check connection and reconnect Wire is shorted causing spark from wire before electrode Replace igniter wire No spark being generated Replace valve assembly Burner ground strap is not covering the igniter electrode Position burner so burner ground strap is directly above electrode
