BEFORE FIRST USE
CAUTION
Use only the gas pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11 in w.c. (37 mBar).
Turn off LP supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
CAUTION
Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label.
The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be
used.
The minimum ambient operating temperature for safe use of the appliance shall be (9° C).
DO NOT exceed a maximum load of 22 kg for the side tables.
If you need to move the grill, unplug from extension cord, unlock wheels, move to new location, lock wheels.
DO NOT use a power washer to clean.
Check to ensure the burner tubes are assembled before using the gas grill. The location of the
burner tubes with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. If a burner tube does not fit over
the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
After igniting, check the colour of the flames. They should be blue. (Slight yellow tipping is
normal for liquid propane gas.) The flames should be approximately 1" (2.5cm) high, but will be
slightly higher at the far left burner ports. If they ARE NOT, refer to the Cleaning section.
FLAME CHECK
INSECT AND SPIDER WEB SAFETY INSPECTION
CAUTION :
BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to
gas-flow obstruction that could result in a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as flashback and can cause severe damage
to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of flashback, it is the most common cause and can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
To reduce the chance of flashback, check and clean the burner/venturi tube for insects and insect nests. We recommend cleaning the burner
tubes at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. A clogged tube can lead to fire under the outdoor cooking
gas appliance. Also perform this cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period.
See how to clean the burner tubes and burners according to the cleaning instructions found in this owner's guide.
DANGER: FLAME AND FLARE-UP
Close lid and keep closed.
Turn dial to OFF.
Unplug from outlet.
Turn gas on tank to OFF.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR NINJA FLEXFLAME
OUTDOOR COOKING SYSTEM
ALWAYS ensure gas flow is OFF, Burner Dial is
in OFF position, and grill is unplugged before
cleaning or maintenance.
ALWAYS allow grill, accessories, and pellet box
to cool before any cleaning or maintenance.
We recommend you thoroughly clean the grill
regularly. Especially after every 20 hours of
cooking, 12 cooks, or completing a cook using
Low & Slow or Bake/Roast functions.
For regular maintenance, use a sponge with
liquid dish soap and water to clean any grease
and smoke residue. Ensure all parts are clean of
soap residue when done cleaning.
Pellet Box and Smoker Housing
Remove pellet box and safely discard all contents
after every use. It is not required to clean the
pellet box and smoke box housing after each
use—we recommend using a wire brush to
remove extra creosote after every 10 uses.
NOTE: Only use soap and water. DO NOT use
over the counter cleaning solutions on pellet box.
This may cause combustive or flare-up event.
NOTE: For best results, make sure to follow Low & Slow Tips in
the Quick Start Guide
NOTE: Your grill’s standard fan speed ensures optimal cooking
performance. For quieter operation, press and hold the Woodfire Button
for 5 seconds to activate a lower fan speed (not available while smoking).
Note: This mode may slow cooking and reduce browning and evenness.
Flame Tamers
The flame tamers catch any grease or other
dripping residue during grilling and protect
the burners to prevent clogging and flare-ups.
Remove the grill grates and set aside before
cleaning flame tamers.
Use a plastic scraper to clean any residue/
debris from the flame tamers. If necessary, a
stainless-steel grill brush may also be used.
Burners
Remove the grill grates and flame tamers before
cleaning burners. It is essential to keep both the
burner ports and mesh spider screens clean to
ensure safe operation.
Use a damp sponge to clean the top of the
burners and make sure they are fully air dried
before next use.
Mesh Spider Screens
Use a non-abrasive,
soft bristle brush to
clean the mesh spider
screens.
Inside of Firebox
Regularly check and clean the firebox to ensure
safe operation. Excessive grease accumulation
is a fire hazard. Use a plastic scraper to move
any debris buildup inside the firebox to the
opening that funnels down to the grease tray
and ensure grease tray is always emptied before
each use.
Firebox Lid
Use a stainless steel grill brush to scrape away
any colored flakes that resemble paint on
the inside of the lid. These flakes result from
carbonized grease and smoke and are harmless.
We recommend cleaning them as you notice
them to avoid them peeling o and falling into
food.
Grease Tray
Carefully remove cooled grease tray and safely
discard grease contents after each use. Hand-
wash grease tray in warm, soapy water. Grease
tray liners are available for purchase for easy,
hassle-free cleanup. Check grease tray and
dump any water or other contents after a rain or
snowstorm.
Grill Grates
We recommend cleaning the grates after every
few uses. Preheat the grill, use a stainless steel
grill brush to clean o any residue on the grates
from your previous cook, then oil the grates
before adding food.

CHECK IGNITION SYSTEM:
When you press and turn the BURNER DIAL, you should hear a “ticking” sound. If you do not hear the
ticking sound, follow the below steps.
CONFIRM YOUR GRILL IS PLUGGED IN:
The grill needs to be plugged in to ignite. After you have confirmed grill is plugged in, retry igniting.
If ignition is still unsuccessful, unplug the grill and proceed to check the wire connections.
CHECK WIRES:
Ensure grill is unplugged, gas is o, and Burner dial is in OFF position. Check ignition module wires
are properly connected and have no visible damage. These connectors should be damage free and
fully installed to ensure proper connectivity. If connectors are loose, fix connection and retry igniting.
IMPORTANT: If wires are damaged, call customer service 0800 862 0453.
GAS FLOW ISSUES
SYMPTOMS
Uneven heating, or grill will not reach set
temperature.
Pilot burner doesn’t ignite.
Pilot burner is lit but main burners are not or
will not ignite.
Flame height is low during preheat, or when
grill is set to 315°C and lid is open.
Flames don’t spread fully across entire length
of burner.
I mproper flame pattern across burners.
Flame colour appears yellow and behaviour is
irregular.
SOAPY WATER TEST
Combine 1 tsp. soap with 1 cup of water in a
spray bottle.
Spray mixture on all of gas lines and
connection points.
If you see expanding large bubbles, then you
have a gas leak.
If you have a gas leak, shut o gas and call
customer service at 0800 862 0453.
PROBLEM RESOLUTION
Gas flow issue
Ensure gas flow is o.
Unscrew regulator hose.
Screw regulator hose back on, ensuring
connection is not cross-threaded. Propane
tanks often have a fail-safe mechanism to
restrict flow of gas in the case of abnormal flow.
This can happen if the regulator hose is not
screwed on properly.
Low or empty propane tank Refill or replace tank.
Bent or kinked regulator hose
