Lighting Burner with Ignitor:
1.Open the Lid or raise the Side Shelf Burner Cover before lighting. Attempting to light the Grill burners with the Lid down or the Side Shelf Burner with the Cover closed may cause an explosion! Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice.

2.All Burner Control Knobs must be in the OFF position.
3.Turn on gas at the cylinder.
4.Push down and turn the
5.Press and hold the Ignitor Button to light the burners.
6.If ignition does not occur in five seconds, turn all open Burner Control Knobs clockwise to the OFF position. Wait five minutes and repeat lighting proce- dure. If Ignition still does not occur, use a match through hole located on Right Side Panel of the Grill.
Important: Light both CENTER burners FIRST! Once burner is lit, the burner next to it will light by turning its Burner Control Knob to HIGH. Never light the outside burners unless the two center burners are lit. Since the Side Shelf Burner has just one burner, no such sequential precautions exist.
After lighting, please observe the burner flames; make sure all burner ports are lit. If burner flames go out during operation, immediately turn the gas off and open Lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes before
Before cooking on this grill for the first time, light and set all four burners on HIGH and operate for about 15 minutes with the Lid closed. This will "heat clean" the internal parts and dissipate odor from the manufacturing processes and painted finish. DO NOT, however, operate the Side Shelf Burner with the Cover closed at any time!
Grilling Instructions:

CAUTION: Condensation may collect on the inside of the Lid when cook- ing. Use caution when opening Lid.
3.When finished cooking, or when the propane cylinder is empty, turn all Burner Control Knobs to the OFF position and close the propane cylinder.
4.Allow the Grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning.
5.When cool, the Drip Tray may be removed and emptied. Be sure the liquid has cooled before removing Drip Tray.
