Lighting Instructions

IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM

The Igniter System consists of an electronic igniter unit, individual burner-mounted ceramic electrodes, and lead wires. Gas is routed to the electrodes at each burner. When the igniter knob is pressed, an electric spark is created at the ceramic electrode. The gas is then ignited by the spark.

To test: Watch the electrode tip 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 performing 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 electrode that is mounted underneath the burner is not broken.

Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the electrode can prevent an igniter spark. Clean them with a degreaser or warm soapy water, and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip 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 all 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. Turn on the fuel supply valve on the L.P. gas cylinder. 1 to 1-1/2 counter-clockwise turn is 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 left-most burner-control knob counter-clockwise to the high setting.

STEP 6. Immediately press in the igniter button until you hear it clicking. Repeat 4 to 5 times if necessary.

The burner should light.

STEP 7. If the burner fails to light properly, turn the burner 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. cylinder knob and try match lighting the grill once the gas has cleared.

If your electronic igniter does not click, you may need to replace the battery. Simply unscrew the igniter button from the control panel to access the battery.

Operating the Control Knobs
