Match-Lighting
Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1. Open lid during lighting.

Place match into match holder (hanging from side of cart).
Light match, place into the firebox.

lights and stays lit.
4. Light other burners by pushing knob in and turning to HI
position.
Burner Flame Check
•Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners,
rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller
flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner
flame check on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to
each use.
Turning Grill Off
•Turn all knobs to position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning
hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
•Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Push the control knob in and
turn the knob to the left to “HI” position."Click" should be
heard and spark seen each time between collector box or
burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or
spark
.
Valve Check
•Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before
checking valves . Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring
back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly
before using grill. Turn knobs to
LOW position then turn back
to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
•Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only identical
replacement part valve/hose/regulator as specified in the
Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory
(and should never be painted) . Apply a strong
solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with
scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow
to completely air dry.
Do not apply a caustic grill/oven
cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
•Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when
not in use.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
If the burner does not ignite with
the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could accidently ignite with risk of
injury.
