AGA Professional Series Outdoor Gas s Instructions

To properly ignite the grill, ensure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position. Open the grill lid and turn the gas supply on. Push and turn the desired burner control knob to the HIGH position and press the ignition button. If ignition does not occur within a few seconds, turn off the gas and wait a few minutes before trying again.
If the grill does not light, check the gas supply to ensure it is turned on. Inspect the igniter for any damage or debris. Ensure that the burner ports are clear and try lighting the grill manually with a match or lighter if necessary.
To clean the grill grates, preheat them for about 10-15 minutes on high to burn off residue. Use a grill brush to scrape off any remaining debris. For a deeper clean, remove the grates and soak them in warm, soapy water, then scrub with a non-abrasive pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the grill grates, checking the burners for blockages, inspecting the gas hose for leaks or damage, and emptying the drip tray. It's also advisable to cover the grill when not in use to protect it from the elements.
Uneven heating can be caused by blocked burner ports or a faulty regulator. Clean the burner ports with a wire brush and ensure the burners are aligned correctly. If the problem persists, consider replacing the gas regulator.
Many AGA Professional Series grills can be converted from propane to natural gas with a conversion kit. Consult your grill’s manual for compatibility and follow the instructions carefully. It is recommended to have a professional perform the conversion to ensure safety.
If you smell gas, immediately turn off all control knobs and the gas supply. Open the grill lid and wait for the gas to dissipate. Check all connections for leaks using a soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connections or replace faulty components. Do not use the grill until the issue is resolved.
During the off-season, clean the grill thoroughly and disconnect the gas supply. Cover the grill with a weather-resistant cover and store it in a dry, sheltered area. If possible, remove the grates and burners and store them indoors to prevent rusting.
To prevent flare-ups, trim excess fat from meats before grilling, keep the grill clean to avoid grease buildup, and use a drip tray to catch excess fat. If flare-ups occur, move food to a cooler part of the grill and close the lid to reduce oxygen.
Burners should be inspected regularly for signs of rust or damage. Typically, they may need replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If you notice uneven flames or difficulty igniting, it may be time to replace them.
