USING YOUR GRILL IN
WINDY CONDITIONS:
• As a high-performance gas appliance,
your XO grill requires significant
amounts of air to support the burner
combustion process. Your grill has been
engineered to take air in through the
control panel area, and exhaust the
combustion out through the gap between
the front and rear hoods
•
Using your grill in windy conditions can
disrupt the proper flow of air through you
grill, leading to reduced performance, or
in certain severe cases, causing heat
buildup in the control panel area. This
can lead to problems such as having the
control knobs getting hot or melting, or
burn hazards when the control panel
surfaces become too hot to touch.
•
If you have a freestanding grill, it is best
to position the unit so the prevailing wind
blows into the front control panel (or at
your back), thus supporting the proper
airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill
directly are the most likely to cause
problems, although wind blowing along
the hood gap can also be a problem.
• Please note that damage to your grill
resulting from use in windy conditions,
such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or
control panel discoloration from heat
build-up, are excluded from warranty
coverage.
•
Outdoor grilling can create more heat than
indoor kitchen ranges.
BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS
YOU CAN DO TO FURTHER PREVENT
THE POSSIBILITY OF IMPROPER
HEAT BUILDUP:
• If you suspect the grill is overheating,
using an heat resistant mitt, open the
front hood. Then adjust the burner
control knob to a lower setting. Do
not grab the knobs without testing the
temperature of them.
• Install your grill with a wind break
behind it. This is a wall, fence or
anything that will disrupt the wind
directly hitting the gas grill.
• Situate the grill so prevailing winds are
not blowing into the rear of the grill.
• On windy days, be careful not to
leave the hood down for more than 15
minutes when the burners are on high.
(Never leave the grill unattended when
in operation)
Wind hitting the back of the grill can disrupt proper exhaust.
