Frequently Asked Questions - HDTG4830G Wells

How to install the Wells HDTG4830G gas grill?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. Place the unit on a solid, non-combustible surface. Mount the four adjustable feet and level the unit. Connect the steel gas piping (min. 3/4 in diameter) with the provided pressure regulator. Check for leaks with soapy water. Observe clearance distances from combustible surfaces (see manual).

What type of gas to use and how to convert the grill?

The grill is shipped set for natural gas. To use propane (LPG), contact your Wells distributor for a conversion kit. Manifold pressure must be 10 in W.C. for propane. Do not attempt conversion yourself.

How to light the pilot?

Before lighting, check for gas odor. Turn all knobs to OFF. Open the gas shut-off valve. Use a long match or chimney lighter to light the pilot accessible through the front panel. If the pilot does not light, wait 15 seconds between attempts to purge air.

How to clean the cooking surface and grease pan?

After cooling, pour some water on the hot surface to bubble residues. Scrape with a pumice stone or scraper, then wipe with a damp cloth. Never use a steel pad. Clean the grease pan daily: remove the drawer, empty waste, wash with hot water and mild detergent, dry and replace. Season the surface after each cleaning.

What to do if burners do not light or flame is uneven?

First check gas supply and that pilot is lit. If a burner is wet, disassemble and dry completely. If holes are clogged, clean burner with hot water and a bristle brush. Ensure the air shutter is properly adjusted. If problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How to adjust burner flame?

Remove control knobs and front panel. Light the burner. Loosen the air shutter locking screw and turn the shutter to obtain a mostly blue flame. Retighten screw. Pilot flame height should be about 1/4 in (0.64 cm). These adjustments should be performed by a qualified technician.

What are the important safety instructions?

Do not store flammable materials nearby. In case of gas odor, do not operate any switch, do not phone from building, close shut-off valve and call gas company from outside. Never leave appliance unattended while operating. Surfaces become very hot – burn risk. Use only Wells approved spare parts.

How to season the grill surface after cleaning?

Preheat grill to 191°C (375°F). Spread a thin film of cooking oil over entire surface. Let oil cook for about 2 minutes until smoking. Wipe with a damp cloth. For a new grill, repeat 2-3 times until surface is shiny and non-stick.

What to do in case of gas leak?

Immediately close the gas shut-off valve. Do not light any flame. Do not touch any electrical device. Leave the building and call the gas company or fire department from an outside phone. Have the installation inspected by a qualified technician before reusing the appliance.

Where to find spare parts and after-sales service?

Contact your Wells authorized distributor or Wells spare parts service. Have the model number (HDTG4830G), serial number, and gas type ready. Use only Wells genuine parts. The list of distributors is available on the Wells website or by calling customer service.
