PUSH 

TO 

IGNITE

 

PUSH & TURN TO “HI”

 

Keep your face away from the grill as far as possible and pass a 
lit, long stem match through the notch in the unit’s grate to the 
ports  of  the  burner  you  are  trying  to  light.  When  attempting  to 
light a burner with a match, ensure that the correct burner con-
trol knob is used. 
 
 
Position the match near the burner ports. Push and turn the  
control knob to “HI”. Repeat procedure on each burner if necessary.  If the burner does not light in 4 sec-
onds turn the knob OFF, wait 5 minutes and try again.  If the burner will not light after several attempts 
see page 16: 

Troubleshooting.

 

 

NOTE:

To ensure proper spark ignition, do not change gap between the electrode wires and the burners. 

The optimum gap is preset at the factory between 1/8” and 3/16.” Replace 9 VDC igniter batteries at the 
first sign of spark weakness. 30” grills require one battery, all others require two. See page 6 for battery 
replacement instructions. 
 
 

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS: 

 

NOTE: 

VERSAPOWER™ Cooking System has two burners, a center and a perimeter one. The follow-

ing instructions apply to the perimeter burners. 
 

PERIMETER BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT: 

Each unit’s burners are tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the 
local gas supply, elevation and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames 
of the burners should be visually checked and compared with Figure 4.  
 

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.

 

 
If  any  of  these  conditions  exist,  check  if  dirt,  debris,  spider  webs,  etc.,  are  blocking  the  air  shutter  or 
burner ports.  Proceed with air shutter adjustment.  
 

CAUTION

 

IN  SUNNY  ENVIRONMENTS, 
THE  FLAME  FROM  A  BURNER 
MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE.
