Manually Lighting Your Grill by Match
To light your gas grill by match, insert a match into the
Manual Lighting Stick and follow steps 1 through 6 of the
Basic Lighting Procedures. Then, light the match and
place Manual Lighting Stick through the Lighting Hole on
the right side of the grill. See
Figure 18
. Turn the nearest
Main Burner Control Knob to the HIGH setting to release
gas. The Burner should light immediately.
To purge air from your gas line and/or reset
the Regulator excess gas flow device:
Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is
what triggers the Regulators safety device to shut
down gas flow which prevents excessive gas flow to
your grill. Lighting the Burner farthest from the fuel
source every time will help eliminate air pockets in
the Manifold. This procedure should be done every
time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill:
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
Lighting Hole or Burners, when lighting your grill
by match.
