Operation

Turning the Burners Off   

1.  Always turn the burner control knob(s) to the OFF position before turning off the main supply valve when cooking 

has been completed.

2.  Promptly turn OFF the gas supply valve at the propane cylinder or at the main natural gas supply line.

3.  Close the Hood of the Grill.

FLARE-UPS

“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot sear plates or burners and ignite. Some flaring is 

normal and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of 

the flare-ups is also desirable, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibil-

ity of an accidental fire.

Never allow the Grill to operate while unattended to prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting. 
Always monitor the Grill carefully while cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW), or OFF, 

if flare-ups intensify. 

MATCH LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:

Never stand directly over the Grill when lighting the 

main burners, to avoid exposure to possible flare-ups.
1.  a. Always open the Hood completely and inspect 

the Grill and burners before lighting the main 

burners.

  b. Make sure the grease cup is empty and grease 

tray is clean.

  c. Always visually inspect the gas supply line for 

fraying, cracking or rodent damage before light-

ing the grill and, if necessary, install a replacement 

obtained from the manufacturer prior to lighting 

the grill. 

2.  Always confirm that all of the burner control 

knobs are in the OFF position before opening the 

gas supply.

3.  Always turn on the propane gas supply valve at the 

tank (1 to 2 turns) or turn on the main natural gas 

supply valve.

4.  Insert a lit match or a butane lighter into the match lighting hole located on the left hand side of the base. (Fig. 10)
5.  Turn the left Burner Control Knob to the HIGH position by pushing down on the knob and turning it counter-

clockwise.

Never store flammable or easily combustible objects (matches, butane lighters, cloths, etc.) in the pull out food 

warming drawer (if equipped).
