Manually Lighting the Rear Burner
Important:
If you tried lighting the rear burner with the burner knob and were unable,
wait at least five (5) minutes before manually lighting the burner. Leave the hood
open and allow gas to dissipate to avoid a possible hazard.
!
1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions for
connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the grill without testing for leaks first. Keep all body
parts as far away from the grill as possible.
2. Open the grill hood. Ensure that the warming rack is removed.
3.
Use a fireplace style of [long] match and hold an open flame to the right side of the rear burner
where the flame normally starts when igniting the rear burner. NEVER use a standard match or
cigarette lighter as these pose a fire risk and you must keep your hands as far away from flames
as possible.
4. Push the gas control (burner) knob in, and rotate counterclockwise to the “High” position marking
on the knob.
5.
The rear burner should ignite. If it does not light after about five (5) seconds, turn the knob to the
off position, and wait at least five (5) minutes before trying again to manually light it.
Flare-Ups
Flare-ups can occur when fats and oils drip from the contents being grilled down onto the
burners. Flare-ups can be a good thing, imparting a fire/smoke-infused flavor into the contents
being grilled. However, if flare-ups become excessive, turn the gas to a lower setting.
CAUTION:
•
If a grease fire occurs, do NOT use water to attempt to put it out. Turn all burners
off and close the lid. If the fire persists, use an ABC extinguisher.
•
If the burners go out during operation, turn off all burner knobs and shut the gas
valve at its source. Keep the lid open for at least five minutes with the gas supply
off before attempting to re-light the burners. Do not touch the cooking grates or
any internal parts of the grill as they may burn you.
