Repeat the steps above, or try the manual lighting procedure below

Repeat to light other burners as needed, going from right to left
9.
To shut off the burners, push the knob in and rotate clockwise to the OFF position
NOTE
: It is normal to hear a popping sound when the burners are turned off.
A flashback is when you light the grill and a ball of flame comes up
and out of the grill. It is caused by a buildup of grease, debris, or even
spider webs, where the gas is blocked and builds up in one place.
When the grill ignites, all the accumulated gas lights at once.
To avoid flashbacks, thoroughly clean your grill once or twice each
year. Check around the gas valve and burners – especially the orifice
– for any kind of blockage. Also, use soap, water, and a brush to
remove any built-up grease and char from grilling.
Manual Lighting
A manual lighting tube is provided (Figure 29, left) for use in case the ignitor stops working. The tube is
located at the front right corner of the grill box.
Do not reach inside the grill box area while manually lighting the grill.
Do not lean over the grill while lighting.
Manually ignite burners as follows:
1.
Main Burner – Position a burning long match or lighter flame at the top of the manual lighting tube
(Figure 29, left); push in the right-hand burner knob, hold for 2-3 seconds, and rotate
counterclockwise to HI; ensure the burner ignites and stays lit; light the other main burners
normally, going from right to left
2.
Back Infrared Burner – Reach from the side of the grill to position a burning long match or lighter
flame near the back burner gas vent (Figure 29, right); push in the rear burner control knob,
hold for
2-3 seconds, then rotate counterclockwise to HI; ensure the burner ignites and stays lit
