Lighting Your Grill
Danger:
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not
light, may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING
: Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible
bodily injury.
Main Burner
1. Open lid while lighting burners.
WARNING
: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make` sure there are no
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged
burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
2. All valves must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use, using the same method for each:
Push desired burner valve knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counterclockwise until a click is heard. The burner should
light. If the burner does not light, return the valve knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas
to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other burner desired.
5. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Main Burners
1. Insert a match into the end of lighting stick locked in the drawer. Light the match.
2. Once lit, put the lighting stick through the cooking grid and place the flame next to
the burner ports found along the sides of the desired burner (See diagram to right.)
3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’
position. The burner should light immediately. If more than one burner
is desired, repeat the procedure 2-3 until all desired burners are lit.
4. Adjust burners to the desired cooking temperature.
Precautions
1. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”.
Open lid to let the gas clear for at least 5 minutes before re-lighting.
3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time and operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas
turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and painted finish.
4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause a
fire.
