Lighting Main Burner
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.
1.
Open lid while lighting burners.
2.
Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3.
Turn on gas source or cylinder valve.
4.
Ignite only the burners you wish to use. Push and turn the knob to “HIGH” then press the igniter
button immediately. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, repeat 2 or
3 times.
5.
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 second turn the burner controls to OFF, wait 5
minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
6.
To ignite remaining burners, repeat the step 4 and 5 for each burner.
7.
Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
PRECAUTIONS
:
1.
After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2.
If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”. Open lid to let the gas clear for at least 5
minutes before re-lighting.
3.
Before cooking on the grill for the first time and operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the
gas turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and
painted finish.
4.
Clean the grill after each use.
DO NOT
use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause a
fire.
Flame Adjustment
Become familiar with the safety instructions at the front of this manual. Do not smoke while lighting the appliance or
checking the gas supply connections.
Make sure that all gas connections are securely tightened and have been leak-tested with a soapy water solution - never
with a flame!
With the cooking grids and flame tamers removed, light the main burners and run them on the high setting.
Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal flame appearance is one that is mostly blue and not lifting off of
the burner surface. There is an air shutter found at the end of the burner (close to the valve) which can be either opened or
closed to make adjustments to the flame's appearance. To adjust, remove the burner from the appliance and loosen the phillips
head screw holding the air shutter to the burner. If the flame is yellow, open the air shutter to make the flame bluer. If the flame
is lifting off of the burner surface, slightly close the air shutter. Re-tighten the phillips head screw and re-install the burner to
recheck the flame appearance. Repeat if necessary.
Turn burners to low flame setting and test for proper flame height. Flame should stand between ¼” –
½” on LOW. (To adjust the LOW flame setting simply light the appliance on the LOW setting and adjust the screw located under
the knob on the front of the valve using a flat head screwdriver as seen in the diagram below.)

If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and consult an authorized service technician.
Before cooking with your appliance for the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid the unit of any odors by burning the
unit on HIGH with the lid down for about 10 minutes. When lit, the flame should have a mostly blue color to it. It may have a tint
of yellow and adjustment to the air shutters can be made to obtain a blue flame and proper gas glow. This appliance should be
preheated before cooking with the main burner control settings on HIGH for five minutes with the lid closed.
WARNING
Adjusting the air-shutter while the grill is operating. If it is still hot, please wear protective gear and be careful. Failure to follow
this instruction could cause personal injury.
