Operation
FIRE HAZARD
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
•
DO NOT touch any electrical switch
•
DO NOT use any telephone in your building.
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down the unit at the main gas shutoff valve and contact your local gas
supplier from a neighboring location.
Follow the instructions received from the gas supplier immediately and exactly.
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
•
Carefully read the description of the grill operation on the specification sheet.
•
Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water.
•
Call a qualified technician to examine the appliance and to service or replace any component which has
been submerged. Burners which have been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried before
use.
•
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light
the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.
•
The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use tools to turn the control knob. If the
knob will not turn by hand, DO NOT attempt to force or repair it. Forced or improperly repaired valves
pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.
•
Make sure burners, pilot burner and grease tray are properly installed before attempting to operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT LIGHT
1. Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near floor
level because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.
2. For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light
the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.
