LIGHTING YOUR GRILL

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR GRILL, INSPECT THE HOSE OR GAS SUPPLY. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being operated. Please contact your local dealer/distributor for an exact replacement hose.

ALWAYS OPEN THE LID COMPLETELY BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNER. This is to avoid trapping gas fumes, which could ignite. Do not stand with your head over the grill when lighting the burner.

Open the lid. Examine the interior to be sure it appears normal.

Turn control knobs to OFF position. Either control knob may be used when lighting your PGS gas grill.

Turn gas ON at tank or supply.

Turn either knob to Medium and gently push the red button on control panel ignitor module. You should hear the ignitor clicking and one half of the burner should be lit within four seconds. Turn the other control knob on “HI” and the other burner will cross light automatically.

Visually verify that the burner lights and the flame is acceptable. Close the grill top and let the ceramic rocks get hot. Pre-heat the grill on HI with the lid down for five to seven minutes. This will ensure even heat and allow cooking at MEDIUM, for the most part.

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST OBSERVING GRILL FOR TWO MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING. SMALL LEAKS AND OR SPIDER FIRES CAN EASILY BE REMEDIED IF CAUGHT IMMEDIATELY.

IF THE BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT

Immediately turn controls OFF to prevent gas build-up. Wait five minutes for gas to clear and try the above procedure again. If the burner does not light with the electronic ignition, light the burner with a match or other hand held ignitor. On the right hand side of the lower grill casting, near the bottom, there is a match lighting hole (see Fig. 19). Raise the grill lid. Light a long match (or other ignitor) and turn the RIGHT hand control knob to HI. Insert the lit match (or ignitor) into the hole to the end of the burner and light the grill. Under some adverse wind conditions it may be necessary to turn the grill or to light the burner via a vent opening under the grill head.

DO NOT TOSS A LIT MATCH INTO THE UNIT AND TURN THE GAS ON!

IF THE GRILL STILL FAILS TO LIGHT, CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY. YOU COULD BE OUT OF LP GAS OR THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY FOR NATURAL GAS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. IF THE LP TANK HAS GAS OR THE NATURAL GAS IS TURNED ON AND THE GRILL STILL WILL NOT LIGHT: CHECK THE ELECTRONIC IGNITOR TO MAKE SURE IT IS SPARKING. IF NOT, CHECK THE BATTERY IN THE MODULE AND ALSO MAKE SURE THE IGNITOR WIRE IS CONNECTED BOTH TO THE MODULE AND TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ELECTRODE.

PERIODIC CLEANING

Knowing how to remove and replace the burner allows you to easily and thoroughly clean your grill. Even though "Burning Off" the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use, once or twice a year you should perform basic maintenance to keep your grill in top operating condition.

BE SURE THAT YOUR BARBECUE IS COLD, GAS SUPPLY IS OFF AND THAT YOUR FEEDLINE IS BLED OF ANY GAS.

1.After removing cooking grids, ceramic rock and rock grates, remove your burner assembly by first carefully disconnecting the lead wire from your ignitor module. Gently pull the burner forward to release the spring clip, then pull the burner assembly forward and up. Cover the valve orifices with a small piece of aluminum foil to keep out dirt. Brush both sides and the bottom of the burner with a stiff wire brush. Any clogged flame holes may be opened using a thin wire. Use a venturi brush (or bottlebrush), pipe cleaner or long flexible wire to clean out the venturis. Since the grill housing is heavy rust-free cast aluminum, you are only trying to remove built up grease and debris.

2.DO NOT DAMAGE THE CERAMIC PROBE OR COLLECTOR BOX.
