FIRST USE LIGHTING STEPS
Always open lid before lighting. Do not move the appliance when it is in use.
NOTE:
The gas line and burner will be full of air after assembly or installation. Before lighting, please follow the
steps below to purge the gas lines and prime them with gas to properly ignite the burners on your grill. It may
require several attempts at lighting the burner before you are successful.
1)
With BBQ Grill control knob in “OFF” position, turn on the Gas supply.
2)
Light the burner by pushing its control knob in fully and slowly (3 to 4 seconds) turning it about 1/4 turn to the
left (counterclockwise) until a click is heard. The 3 to 4 second duration should provide enough gas to light the
burner. Adjust the burner to the desired cooking temperature.
3)
If the burner does not light, immediately return the control knob to “OFF”, wait several minutes for the gas to
disperse, and repeat the process. After burner lights successfully, turn control knob to “OFF”.
4)
If the burner fails to light after several attempts, discontinue gas supply at source and re-inspect for obstructions
to gas flow and orifice.
If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately (or within 5
seconds?) return the control knob to ‘OFF’, wait 5 minutes for the gas to disperse before repeating the
process or attempting to manually light the grill
.
IF YOU SMELL GAS,
STOP!
