Operation
LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS
1.a. Always open the Hood completely and always inspect the Grill and burners to confirm that all components are properly positioned before lighting the main burners.
b.Make sure the grease cup is empty and grease tray is clean.
c.Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking, or rodent damage before lighting the grill and, if necessary, install a replacement obtained from your dealer prior to lighting the grill.
WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the Grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
2.Always confirm that all of the burner control knobs are in the OFF position before opening the gas supply.
3.Turn on the propane gas supply valve at the tank (1 to 2 turns) or turn on the main natural gas supply valve (see Fig. 8).
4.Turn the selected Burner Control Knob to the HIGH position by pushing down on the knob and turning it
NOTE: When lighting the grill for the first time, burn with the main burners on HIGH for at least 30 minutes, to burn off any manufacturing residues.

5.Immediately activate the Igniter (see Page 6). The selected burner should light within five seconds. Light the burners sequentially from either left to right or right to left.
WARNING: IF THE SELECTED BURNER DOES NOT LIGHT, immediately turn the burner control knob to the OFF position, to prevent gas buildup. Wait five (5) minutes for the gas to clear and then repeat the preceding starting procedure. If the burner will not light when using the Igniter, follow the match lighting instructions (see Page 8).
6.Confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the flame pattern is as desired, (see Figs. 9a, 9b & 9c, for the proper flame patterns). If the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the Troubleshooting Guide on Page 23 for corrective action.
7.Always preheat the grill before starting cooking. Light all burners and adjust them to the HIGH position for 5 to 10 minutes or until the Grill reaches the desired cooking temperature. Before placing any food on the Grill, make sure that the cooking surface is free from food and debris.
8.Adjust the Controls to a medium setting for most cooking requirements. A light coating of cooking oil on the cooking grids, before heating the Grill, will help prevent foods from sticking to the Grill.
