5)Open the center glass door. Strike a match and put the flame into the matchlight hole in the front of the cooking box.

6)Push down and hold the FlameCheck button down.

Note - Gas is supplied to the burner only when the FlameCheck button is depressed.

Observe if front burner has ignited by looking through matchlight hole. If the burner is lit, continue to hold the FlameCheck button down for about 8 seconds. When the button is released the burner will stay lit.

WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the Front burner control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match.

7)After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the other burners.

Note - The FRONT burner must be on at all times when operating the other burners. The FlameCheck Safety System monitors the Front burner. For your safety, the FlameCheck valve will shut off the gas to the burners if the front burner should inadvertently go out during cooking.
