Lighting the Burner(s)
1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions
for connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the side burner without testing for leaks
first. Keep all body parts as far away from the side burner as possible. Never smoke
while lighting the side burner.
2. Remove the lid and place to the side.
3.
With all gas control (burner) knobs in the “OFF” position, open the gas supply.
4. For each burner you wish to operate, push the gas control (burner) knob in, and rotate
counterclockwise a quarter turn to the “HIGH” position marking on the knob. Turn the
knob slowly so as to allow enough gas to reside in the lines to successfully ignite the
burner.
5. The burner should ignite. Repeat for the other burner, if applicable.
6.
Allow burners to run on “HIGH” for a few minutes so they can burn off extra gas and
residue. Then, proceed to adjust the burner knobs to your desired cooking temperature.
7. Once you are done using the side burner, push the burner knob(s) in, and rotate
clockwise to the “OFF” position. You may hear a popping sound when the burners are
turned off, which is normal.
8. Immediately turn off your gas supply.
If a burner fails to light:
1. If a burner does not light on the first try, repeat immediately. On your second attempt, if
the burner does not light within five (5) seconds, turn the burner knob(s) completely off.
Do not try again for a minimum of five (5) minutes as the gas dissipates.
2. After five (5) minutes, you may proceed to try to light the burner again using the
procedures outlined above.
3. Once you successfully light the first burner, you may proceed to light the other
burner(s), as needed.
4. If, after a few rounds of trying to light the burner, the burner still does not light turn all
knobs to the “OFF” position and cut the gas supply at its source.
5. Inspect for proper setup and look for any obstructions to the gas supply that may be
causing the issue. Additionally, inspect the burner ports for any blockages.
“Flashback” may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback is commonly recognized by a
“whooshing” sound. It this occurs, immediately turn off all burners and shut off the gas supply
to the side burner. Allow grilling components to cool fully before handling them. Remove the
burners and brush them with a soapy water mixture to rid them of all foreign materials, dirt,
debris, and food waste. Only reinstall them after they have been thoroughly cleaned. To
mitigate flashback, clean the burners monthly and any time you use the side burner after an
extended period of time.
Tip: If you have never used the side burner before, or have not used the side burner for
an extended period of time, it may take multiple attempts to light the burner(s).
