LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
WARNING
1. Never attempt to light the grill if you smell gas.
2. Always light the grill with the lid OPEN.
3. DO NOT release fuel into a closed grill before
lighting. This will increase the risk of explosion,
property damage, personal injury, and death.
4. When lighting, keep your face and body as far
from the grill as possible.
5. If a burner does NOT light within 5 SECONDS,
turn the control knob to OFF, and WAIT 5
MINUTES for the gas to dissipate, before
attempting to re-ignite.
ELECTRIC IGNITION
1. Open the lid and confirm that all burner control
knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. For a Propane Tank setup, turn the propane
cylinder valve at least one full turn in the
counterclockwise direction.
3. For a Natural Gas setup, turn the main gas
control valve to ON. The valve is ON when the
valve lever is in line and parallel to the gas
piping and gas flow. See illustration in the
‘TROUBLESHOOTING’ section.
4. Depress and turn the
desired burner control
knob counterclockwise to
the LIGHT position,
indicated by the icon.
You will hear a rapid
‘clicking’ sound indicating
all ignition electrodes are sparking. The
selected burner should light. If the burner does
NOT light within 5 SECONDS, turn the burner
control knob to ‘OFF’ and WAIT 5 MINUTES for
the gas to dissipate before you try to re-light.
After ignition, set the burner control knob to
the desired position.
5. Repeat step 4 for lighting each additional
burner.
6. If a burner does not light within 5 SECONDS of
turning on the burner control knob, turn the
burner control knob to the ‘OFF’ position. WAIT
5 MINUTES before repeating step 4. If you
smell gas, follow the steps listed in the ‘GAS
CONNECTIONS’ section. If the burners still do
not light after several attempts, refer to the
instructions below for manual lighting.
SHUTTING OFF THE GRILL
To shut the grill off, depress each burner control
knob and turn clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
Always close the valve from the gas supply after
each use of the grill.
MANUAL LIGHTING:
Carefully read the previous section ‘LIGHTING
YOUR GRILL’ before attempting to manually light
your grill. Manual lighting is used ONLY when the
9V battery used to power your ignition is
discharged and there is no replacement battery
immediately available.
1. Locate the ‘lighting rod’ attached inside the
tank door (Freestanding Model) or to the
right of the Drip Pan opening (Built-in
Model). Insert a match in the clip on the
end of the rod and light it.
2. Insert the match through an opening in the
grates and place to the right side of the
burner near the electrode.
3. Push and turn the desired burner control
knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT
position indicated by the icon. If the
burner does NOT light within 5 SECONDS,
turn the burner control knob to ‘OFF’ and
WAIT 5 MINUTES for the gas to dissipate
before you try to re-light.
