DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

1)Open the lid.

2)Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF. (Push each knob down and turn clockwise to ensure they are in the off position.)

WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn OFF the LP tank valve and burner control knobs. Then start over.

DANGER

When the “excess gas flow control” feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder and burner control knobs, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
