CFM Corporation 7000 owner manual Igniter Lighting System, Lighting Instructions

IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM

The Igniter System consists of an igniter unit, a gas-collector box, two ceramic electrodes, and lead wires. Gas is collected in the metal collector box located at the burner. When the igniter knob is turned, an electric spark is creat- ed at the ceramic electrodes. The gas is then ignited by the spark.

To test: Watch the electrode tip(s) inside the gas collector while activating the igniter. To avoid a possible shock, do not touch the burner or metal parts on igniter system while perform- ing igniter test. A visible spark should jump from the electrode. The spark gap is set when the electrode is installed.

If there isn’t a spark, check the lead wires and connections. The igniter wires should be kept away from the grill bottom. Also check that the ceramic electrodes in the collector box are not broken.

Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the electrode(s) can prevent an igniter spark. Clean them with a degreaser or warm soapy water, and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip(s) and metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an emery cloth or fine-grain sandpaper.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

(Read all the steps before beginning.)

STEP 1. Check the burner venturi tubes for blockage from an insect nest (see, “CLEANING THE BURNER VENTURI TUBES”).

STEP 2. Ensure that both of the burner-control knobs are in the OFF position.

STEP 3. OPEN GRILL LID

WARNING: Attempting to light the grill with the lid down could cause an explosion.

STEP 4. Go behind the grill and turn on the fuel supply valve. One counter-clockwise turn is generally enough to open the valve.

CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms over the grill.

STEP 5. To light using the igniter:

Push in and turn the right burner-control knob counter-clockwise to the high setting.

STEP 6.

Immediately turn the igniter control knob CLOCKWISE until you hear 4 or 5 clicks.

The burner should light.

Note: Turning the knob in the wrong direction may loosen it. If this happens, simply press the knob on firmly and turn it CLOCKWISE.

STEP 7.

If the burner fails to light properly, turn the burn- er-control knob off. Also turn off the L.P. cylinder knob. Wait five minutes before attempting to light the burner again. This will allow time for released gas to disperse.

HINT: If the burner does not light after trying again, turn off burner-control knob, the L.P. cylin- der knob and try match lighting the grill once the gas has cleared.

Operating the Control Knobs

Gas control knobs PRESS IN and rotate counter- clockwise.

ROTATE THE IGNITER KNOB CLOCKWISE.
