OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting The Grill
Before first use:
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present. Before you cook on your new gas grill, it is important
to clean your grill with heat. To do this, operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed
and the control knob in the highest position. This will clean the internal parts by burning off any residue
and odor from the manufacturing process.
WARNING
Do not lean over grill when lighting. Read instructions before lighting.
CAUTION
If the flame extinguishes accidentally during ignition or operation, immediately TURN OFF the
cylinder valve and then TURN OFF the control knob.
1. Check that the control knobs are in the
O
OFF position.
2. Open valve at tank fully by turning counterclockwise.
3. Open lid during lighting.
4. Depress and turn control knob counterclockwise
from off position, past the ignite position, to the
high position. You may need to repeat several times to ignite the burner.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control(s) off,
O
wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
If the burner still does not light, check that there is gas in the cylinder and follow the match lighting
instructions. Check the Troubleshooting Guide on page 23 for more information.
