IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM
The Igniter System consists of an igniter
unit, a gas-collector box, one ceramic elec-
trode, and lead wires. Gas is collected in
the metal collector box located at the burn-
er. When the igniter knob is turned, an
electric spark is created at the ceramic elec-
trode. The gas is then ignited by the spark.
To test: Watch the electrode tip inside
the gas collector while activating the igniter.
To avoid a possible shock, do not touch the
burner or metal parts on igniter system
while performing igniter test. A visible spark
should jump from the electrode. The spark
gap is set when the electrode is installed.
If there isn’t a spark, check the lead
wires and connections. The igniter wires
should be kept away from the grill bottom.
Also check that the ceramic electrode in the
collector box are not broken.
Sometimes dirt and rust at and around
the electrode can prevent an igniter spark.
Clean them with a degreaser or warm
soapy water, and dry. Remove rust from
electrode tip and metal surfaces by lightly
sanding with an emery cloth or fine-grain
sandpaper.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(Read all the steps before beginning.)
STEP 1. Check the burner venturi tubes
for blockage from an insect nest (see,
“CLEANING THE BURNER VENTURI
T U B E S ” ) .
STEP 2. Ensure that both of the burner-
control knobs are in the OFF position.
STEP 3.
OPEN GRILL LID
WARNING: Attempting to light the grill
with the lid down could cause an explosion.
STEP 4. Go behind the grill and turn on
the fuel supply valve. One counter-clock-
wise turn is generally enough to open the
valve.
CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms
over the grill.
STEP 5. To light using the igniter:
Push in and turn the right burner con-
trol knob counter-clockwise to a high setting.
STEP 6.
Immediately press in the igniter button until
you hear it click. Repeat four (4) to five (5)
times if necessary. The burner should light.
STEP 7.
If the burner fails to light properly, turn the
burner-control knob off. Also turn off the L.P.
cylinder knob. Wait five minutes before
attempting to light the burner again. This will
allow time for released gas to disperse.
HINT: If the burner does not light after try-
ing again, turn off burner-control knob, the
L.P. cylinder knob and try match lighting the
grill once the gas has cleared.
