IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Igniter System consists of an igniter unit,
one ceramic electrode and lead wire per
burner. Gas is collected in each burner. When
the igniter knob is turned, an electric spark is
created at the ceramic electrode. The gas is
then ignited by the spark.
To test: Make sure the L.P. gas cylinder is
shut off or disconnected. Watch the electrode
tip inside the gas collector while activating the
igniter. To avoid a possible shock, do not touch
the burner or metal parts on igniter system
while performing igniter test. A visible spark
should jump from the electrode. The spark gap
is set when the electrode is installed.
If there isn't a spark, check the lead wires
and connections. The igniter wires should be
kept away from the grill bottom. Also check
that the ceramic electrode in the collector box
is not broken.
Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the
electrode can prevent an igniter spark. Clean
them with a degreaser or warm soapy water,
and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip and
metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an
emery cloth or fine-grain sandpaper.
The igniter battery may be removed and
replaced by un-screwing the igniter button.
(Read all the steps before beginning.)
STEP 1. Check the burner tubes for blockage
from an insect nest (see, “CLEANING THE
BURNER VENTURI TUBES”).
STEP 2. Ensure that both of the burner-
control knobs are in the OFF position.

CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms
over the grill.
STEP 5. To light using the igniter:
Push in and turn one burner-control knob
counter-clockwise to the high (light) setting.
STEP 6. Immediately press the igniter button.
You will hear rapid clicks. Repeat if necessary.
The burner should light within 3-5 seconds.
STEP 7. If the burner fails to light properly,
turn the burner control knob off. Also turn off
the L.P. cylinder valve. Wait five minutes
before attempting to light the burner again.
This will allow time for released gas to
disperse.
HINT: If the burner does not light after trying
again, turn off burner-control knob, the L.P.
cylinder valve and try match lighting the grill
once the gas has cleared.
Operating the Control Knobs
Use ONE burner gas control knob, PUSH IN
and rotate counter-clockwise to the HIGH
position.
IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE IGNITER
BUTTON UNTIL IT CLICKS rapidly to light the
burner.
