Lighting the Grill

• 

Open lid before attempting to light the burners.

• 

Make sure all valves are in the “OFF” position.

• 

Turn gas tank valve on after confirming knobs are in the “OFF “ position.

• 

Push and turn knob slowly to “HI” position. You will hear a click and burner 
should light automatically. 

• 

If the burner does not light in 5 seconds, wait 5 minutes and re-try.

Manual Lighting using the Flash Tube
If a burner doesn’t light after several attempts, it can be manually lit using a 
long match.

First, make sure you’ve returned all of the control knobs to “OFF” position 
and have allowed 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before 
attempting to light a burner.

Your grill has an individual manual lighting tube on the left side of the grill.

Place a long lit match in front of the flash tube on the left side of the grill. Push 
and turn the corresponding burner control knob to “HIGH”. The burner should 
light within 5 seconds. Then turn on the adjacent burner to the right. This 
burner will be lit by the cross fire.

If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the knob off and wait 5 
minutes before attempting again. Once lit, gas will stop flowing through the 
flash tube.
