MANUAL LIGHTING THE GRILL

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from any gas accumulation.

·If lighting attempts fail, or the burners go out during operation, turn all control knobs “Off” to dissipate any accumulation of gas. Accidental ignition could occur. Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.

·Light both left and right sides of burner to prevent gas from accumulating.

·When reaching under the grill, avoid contact with hot surfaces.

1.Open the Hood.

2.Important: Make sure control knobs are turned “Off”. (See FIG. 13A)

3.Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counter clockwise until it stops. (See FIG. 13B)

4.Insert a lit match through match-lighting hole underneath the grill bowl on the right side. (FIG. 14A) Hold the flame near the burner. (FIG. 14B)

5.Push in and turn the right main burner control knob counterclockwise to the “High” position. (See FIG. 13C & 13D)

6.From the “Off” position, push left control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the High position. Your grill has a crossover ignition system that allows the burner to light each side successively. Make sure the left side of burner is lit.

7.If either side of burner fails to light, repeat Step 4 & 5.

If any or all burners fail to light after three or four attempts following Steps 4-5, turn all knobs to the “Off” position and close the LP gas cylinder valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Wait five minutes; then repeat the lighting procedures. NOTE: If the burner still fails to light, refer to the Troubleshooting Section.

8.After ignition, turn the control knobs to “High” for 3-5 minutes and close the Hood to preheat the grill. Preheat the grill before every cooking session.

If a burner goes out during operation, turn all knobs to the “Off” position and close the LP cylinder valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Open hood and wait five minutes before attempting to relight the grill.

CHECK YOUR FLAME

Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (FIG. 15)

Yellow Tip

Primarily Blue

Flame

FIG. 15

Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Always check especially after long periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.

GRILL COOKING

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, death or grill damage:

·Always make sure the Grease Cup is empty and properly installed in the wire ring under the Bowl before cooking to prevent a grease fire .

·Do not leave any utensils on a hot Cooking Grid or cookware.

Cooking on the Grids: The burners heat up the Flame Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flame Diffusers below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.

CAUTION

·Do not preheat grids over 5 minutes. The porcelain coating could be damaged.

·Use only long-handled heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the porcelain coating.
