General Overview
NOTICE:
THE BURNER VENTURI TUBES SHOULD BE
INSPECTED FOR SPIDER WEBS AND OTHER
OBSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO EACH USE. IF ANYTHING IS
FOUND, CLEAN THE TUBES COMPLETELY. A CLOGGED
TUBE CAN LEAD TO A FIRE BENEATH THE GRILL.
NOTICE:
NEVER PLACE FOOD OVER A BURNER THAT
IS NOT IN OPERATION. FOOD DRIPPINGS WILL NOT BE
INCINERATED AND THE SMALL PORTS MAY BECOME
CLOGGED. THE BURNER SHOULD NOT COME IN
CONTACT WITH WATER OR OTHER CLEANING FLUIDS.
IT COULD DAMAGE THE BURNER, CAUSING IT TO
FUNCTION IMPROPERLY.
All Sterling grills are equipped with a Pilot Burner. A
Pilot makes lighting your grill safer. In addition, this
safety feature will re-ignite the burner if it goes out while
you are cooking. Pilot Burners take a certain amount of
time to ignite because gas must first flow from the gas
cylinder to the pilot tip. When lighting the Pilot, be sure
to use the following instructions.
Burner Ignition
Procedure:
1. Open the Hood, ensure all valves are closed and that
the cooking surface of the grill is not covered.
2. For LP gas, open the Gas Valve on Cylinder.
For Natural gas, open the Gas Valve in the main
line.
3. Depress and turn the Pilot Output Knob to
(ON). (See Figure 12.)

4. Slowly rotate the Igniter Knob clockwise twice and
check for pilot flame. (See Figure 14.) If a flame is
not present, turn the Pilot Valve Knob to OFF and
wait 5 minutes. Then repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. Rotate the Burner Output Knobs to
(HIGH).
(See Figure 13.)If the burners do not ignite within 5
seconds, turn Burner Output Knobs to OFF and
wait 5 minutes, and repeat.
6. Operate on (HIGH) until burners glow uniformly,
then turn the Burner Output Knobs to the desired
cooking level.
7. To extinguish the flame, depress and rotate the Burner
Output Knobs and the Pilot Output Knob to OFF.
8. For LP gas, close the Gas Cylinder Valve by turning
the handwheel clockwise. For Natural gas, close the
gas valve in the main line.
