Lighting the Grill Burners (E-Series Models)

Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle. Turn the appropriate control knob counter-
clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and
an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position
with the automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out
for any reason, the burners will automatically re-ignite if the
gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the
burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all surface
igniters you should hear a clicking sound. If you do not, turn
off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that
the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the
burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the
burner control to any position to adjust the flame size.

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 using the flash
tubes.

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 to “OFF,” wait 5 minutes, and try
again.

If the burner will not light after several attempts, see

the

Troubleshooting

section.

Lighting Infrared Rotisserie Burner
(T-Series and E-Series Models)

The location of the infrared burner makes it more susceptible
to strong wind conditions—more so than the protected grill
burners. For this reason you should avoid using it during
windy conditions.

Open the canopy. Push in and turn the rotisserie control knob
until the “HIGH” position on the knob aligns with the
indicator line on the control panel and continue to hold in the
knob. Press the electronic ignition button which corresponds
to the rotisserie control knob. You will hear a clicking sound.
After the burner lights, hold the rotisserie control knob in
about 5 seconds longer or until the burner remains lit. Once
lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting. If the burner
does not light within 4 seconds, release and turn the control
knob to “OFF”.

Wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to

dissipate.

If the burner does not light after several attempts,

then the burner can be lit by holding a lit match to the burner
(with the control knob pushed in at the light position). 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 relighting a hot burner, wait 5 minutes.

Never leave the rotisserie control knob at “ON” if
rotisserie is not in use.
