DANGER
Failure to open the lid while igniting the
barbecue’s burners, or not waiting 5 minutes
to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does
not light, may result in an explosive flame-up
which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
1) Open the lid.
2) Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF.
(Push each knob down and turn clockwise to ensure
they are in the off position.)
WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the
OFF position before turning on the liquid propane
cylinder valve. If they are not in the OFF position,
when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess
gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the
flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should
occur, turn OFF the LP tank valve and burner
control knobs. Then start over.
DANGER
When the “excess gas flow control” feature is
activated, a small amount of gas is still
flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the
cylinder and burner control knobs, wait at
least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before
attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do
so may result in an explosive flame-up, which
can cause serious bodily injury or death.
3) Turn the cylinder on by turning the cylinder valve
counterclockwise.
4) Strike a match and put the flame into the matchlight
hole in the front of the cooking box.
WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue. Keep
your face and body at least one foot away from the
matchlight hole when lighting the barbecue.
5) Push Front burner control knob down and turn to
START/HI.
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the
matchlight hole on the front of the cooking box. You
should see a flame
WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the
Front burner control knob to OFF and wait 5
minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or
try to light with a match.
7) After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the other
burner.
Note - Always light the FRONT burner first. The other
burner or burners ignite from the FRONT burner.
To Extinguish
Push down and turn each burner control knob
clockwise to the OFF position. Turn gas supply OFF at
the source.
