Before Lighting Your Grill
Prior to turning the gas on, inspect the gas supply tubing or hose.
Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage which
could require replacement prior to use. Make sure all burner control knobs
are off. Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is present.
Check the connection with a soap and water solution after attaching
the hose. Make sure there is gas in the tank and the tank is upright.
CAUTION: Wait at least 5 minutes before relighting a hot grill to
allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the gas supply valve and check the connections for gas leaks before each
use.
To properly install the flavor generator plates:
Place the stainless steel perforated flavor generator plates so that the front and
rear tabs rest on the grill frame. The flash tube must be accessible through the
plates. If the flash tube
is not accessible, the
flavor generator plates
are not properly
installed.
Lighting the Grill (T-Series Models)
When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are
doing. Be certain you are pressing the battery ignition button (T-Series only)
corresponding to the burner you are lighting.

Using the Grill with Outdoor Approved Hoods
•Outdoor approved hood models should be installed in a covered non-
enclosed area. They should also be protected from natural elements (such as
rain) as much as possible.
•Always turn the outdoor hood on to the HI position before lighting the grill.
•Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is
exhausted out the back of the grill. This allows for optimum performance of
the hood.
•During breezy conditions, the performance of the outdoor hood may be
compromised.
To light grill/smoker burner:
Open the hood or remove covers, push and turn the control knob until
the High position on the knob aligns with the indicator line on the control panel
and continue to hold the knob in. Press the electronic ignition button
corresponding to the burner being lit. You will hear a clicking sound. After the
burner lights, hold the control knob in for about 5 seconds longer or until the
burner remains lit. Turn the control knob to the desired setting. If the burner
does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to “off” and wait 5 minutes before
trying again. This will allow accumulated gas to dissipate. After several failed
attempts the burner can be lit with a paper book match. (See below).
If you have just attempted to light the burner with the ignitor, allow 5
minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Place the lit match through the
grid next to the flash tube of the burner being lit. Keep your face as far away
from the grill as possible. Make sure the match is adjacent to the flash tube.
Push and turn the control knob until the High position on the knob aligns with
the indicator line on the control panel. Make sure you are turning the control
knob that corresponds with the burner being lit. If the burner does not light in
4 seconds turn the knob “off”, wait 5 minutes and try again. If the burner will
not light after several attempts, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
