NORMAL OPERATION
Breaking in Your Grill
When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the Main Burner(s) on “HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the Main Burners “OFF”. This tempers the grill.
Lighting Your Grill
WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control” feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder valve, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive
DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the flow from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and burner control knobs. Start over.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose assembly. For base cabinet model grills, it will be necessary to go behind your grill to check the hose.
Snap Ignition Operation
Always open the lid before igniting the burners
Each control knob has its own igniter electrode built in. To create a spark you must push the control knob in (A) and turn to “START/High” (B).
This action will generate gas flow and a spark to the burner lighting tube (C). You will hear a “snap” from the igniter. You will also see a 3˝ - 5˝ orange flame coming from the burner lighting tube at the left side of the burner (D).
Continue to hold the burner control knob in for two seconds after the “snap”. This will allow gas to flow completely down the burner tube (E) and insure ignition.
Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates. You should see a flame. If burner does not light on first try, push control knob in and turn to OFF.
WARNING: If the burner still does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.
