Lighting Instructions

IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM

The Igniter System consists of an igniter unit, a gas-collector box, one ceramic electrode, 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 created at the ceramic electrode. The gas is then ignited by the spark.

To test: Make sure the L.P. gas cylinder is shut off or disconnected. 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 in the collector box 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.

The igniter battery may be removed and replaced by un-screwing the igniter button.

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 on the L.P. gas cylinder. Open the valve only 1-1/2turns.

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

STEP 5. To light using the igniter:

Push in and turn the left burner-control knob counter-clockwise to the high (light) setting.

STEP 6. Immediately press the igniter button. You will hear rapid clicks. Repeat if necessary.

The burner should light within 3-5 seconds.

STEP 7. If the burner fails to light properly, turn the burner control knob off. Also turn off the L.P. cylinder valve. 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 valve and try match lighting the grill once the gas has cleared.
