Lighting Your Grill
Danger:
Failure to open lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the barbecue
does not light ,may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING
: Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily
injury.
Main Burner
1.
Open lid while lighting burners.
WARNING
: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no obstructions of
airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can
lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
2.
All valves must be in the “OFF” position.
3.
Open cylinder valve.
4.
Ignite only the burners you wish to use, using the same method for each:
Push desired burner valve knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counter-clockwise until a click is heard. The burner should
light. If the burner does not light, return the valve knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas
to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other burner desired.
5.
Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection
1.
Always place the propane cylinder on the tank brackets located on the right side of the cart.
2.
Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before activating the gas supply.
3.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in
the head of the burner and burner ports.
4.
Always connect the gas supply regulators as follows:
Insert the nipple of the valve coupling into the tank valve and tighten the connection
collar by turning it clockwise with one hand while holding the regulator with the other.
(As the fig. shown on right)
5.
Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
6.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1.
Always perform the “leak test “on page 16 before lighting the grill and each time the
cylinder is connected for use.
2.
Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3.
Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4.
Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5.
Do not use grill until all leaks have been sopped, if you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
