Answer:
Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel source
first. This will draw gas across the manifold helping prevent
air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and prevent proper grill
lighting. Also try this procedure:
Answer:
My grill will not light properly. Why?
Question:
The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver CSA
label placed on the grill. Depending on the grill model the
silver CSA label will be located on the left or right side
bowl panel underneath the side shelf, underneath the
right side of the control panel, outside left or right of control
panel or on the back of the grill cabinet.
Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed
somewhere for reference?
Question:
No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications
and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) use only.
For your safety, conversion kits are not available, nor will
we sell or otherwise provide parts or information to be
used to convert your grill. Any attempt to convert your grill
is dangerous and will void your warranty.
Answer:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?

If my ignitor or battery is not working how can I light my
grill manually?

Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this?
And -
My grill has a low
flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator.
A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere
with the operation of your grill. Loud or excessive
regulator humming and/or low flow and intermittent
lighting may be caused by the regulator's excess gas
flow device. Opening the tank valve all the way or too
quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety device to
restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to your grill.
Lighting the main Burner farthest from the fuel source
every time will help eliminate air pockets in the manifold.
Note: This procedure should be done every time a new
LP Gas tank is connected to your grill.
If your ignition fails to work or if your battery needs
replacing, you can light your grill using the Manual
Lighting Stick. The Lighting Stick is designed to hold a
paper match and allows you to safely insert a match
through the Cooking Grid without getting close to the
Burner. To light your gas grill manually, insert a paper
match into the Manual Lighting Stick and follow steps 1
through 5 of the Basic Lighting Procedures. Then, light
the match and place the Lighting Stick through the
Cooking Grid. Turn the nearest main Burner Control
Knob to the setting to release gas. The Burner should
light immediately.
Never
lean over the grill cooking area while lighting
your gas grill. Keep your face and body a safe
distance (at least 18 inches) from the front of grill
when lighting your grill by match.

Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better
performance?
Question:
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the
heating and performance of your gas grill so factor
in these elements when positionin g your grill
outdoors for cooking.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall or
surface.
Use your grill at least
3 feet away
from combustible
objects that can melt or catch fire (ex: vinyl or wood
sidin g, fenc es and overhangs) o r sourc es of
ignition including pilot lights on water heaters and
live electrical appliances.
In windy conditions
, always position the front of
the grill to face oncoming wind to reduce heat and
smoke blowing in your face, and to prevent poten-
tial hazards to yourself and the grill.
Never
use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never
obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.
