NOTE: Turn on one valve at a time for either automatic or manual lighting. Adjacent barbecue burner will cross-ignite. In some conditions the barbecue may light quicker if both valves are turned on.

5.Push either gas valve and turn to ‘HIGH’ then immediately use the spark generator to ignite your burners (see Figure 11).The burner should light.

CAUTION: If the burners do not light, IMMEDIATELY turn the valve to ‘OFF’ and WAIT 5 MINUTES before repeating step 5. If the burners still do not light, refer to the instructions for ‘Manual Lighting’ to the right.

FOR MANUAL LIGHTING:

CAUTION: Always wait 5 minutes for gas to clear after any unsuccessful lighting attempt.

1.Follow steps 1 through 4 above.

2.Insert either a burning long-barrel butane lighter, a burning long-stem match or a burning match held by the match holder (Figure 12), attached to the drip tray through the cooking grids to the burners below the flavor grid.

3.While holding the match or lighter flame next to the burner, depress the appropriate valve knob and turn it counterclockwise to the ‘HIGH’ position. Adjacent burners will cross-ignite.

4.If the burner does not light, IMMEDIATELY turn the valve to ‘OFF’ and WAIT 5 MINUTES before repeating steps 2 through 4 of these instructions.

REMEMBER: FOR SAFE MANUAL LIGHTING, PLACE A BURNING MATCH OR BUTANE LIGHTER BESIDE THE BURNER - THENTURN ONTHE GAS (Figure 13).

NOTE: Barbecues frequently achieve a better air/gas mixture and will ignite more quickly if the valve is first turned beyond ‘HIGH’ to ‘MEDIUM’ or ‘LOW’ for lighting.
