•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 9).

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 26 for correc tive action.

7.Always preheat the grill before starting cooking. Light both burners and adjust them to the HI position for 5 to 10 minutes. Before placing any food on the Grill, clean the cooking grids with a brass wire brush.

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 prevent foods from sticking to the Grill.
