MANUAL LIGHTING THE GRILL LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.

1.Open the Hood.

2.Important: Make sure control knobs are turned “Off”. (See FIG. 17B)

3.Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counter clockwise until it stops. (See FIG. 17A)

3.Locate either the left or right match lighting hole you intend to use underneath the grill bowl. Push in and turn either the far left or far right control knob near the match lighting hole counter-clockwise to the “High” position. (See FIG. 17C & 17D)

4.Insert a lit match through the match-lighting hole using the match holder. (FIG. 18A & 18B)

5)From the “Off” position, light all other burners from left or right, making sure each burner is lit before lighting the next. Your grill has a crossover ignition system that allows the burners to light successively off one another. Confirm each burner is lit before lighting another burner.

If any or all burners fail to light after three or four attempts following Steps 3-4, turn all knobs to the “Off” position and close the LP gas cylinder valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Wait five minutes; then repeat the lighting procedures. NOTE: If the burner still fails to light, refer to the Troubleshooting Section.

8.After ignition, turn the control knobs to “High” for 3-5 minutes and close the Hood to preheat the grill. Preheat the grill before every cooking session.)

If a burner goes out during operation, turn all knobs to the “Off” position and close the LP cylinder valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Open hood and wait five minutes before attempting to relight the grill.

Insert a lit match through match lighting hole under the left side burner table using the match light holder.

CHECK YOUR FLAME

Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (See diagram below)

Yellow Tip

Primarily Blue

Flame

Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Also check especially after long periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.
