WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRILL
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed
to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss
®
Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 914mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions,
and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible
ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, or other flammable vapors and liquids.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Before using your grill for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Start the grill and operate at a set temperature
of at least (177°C / 350°F) for 30 minutes to burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.
AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Verify that the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position.
2. Note the triangular indicator mark on the silver regulator housing. Push in the regulator knob and turn 270 degrees (or 3/4)
counter-clockwise to HIGH.
3. Push the igniter button in repetitively until the catches flame. Listen for a
“click” sound to indicate a spark from the igniter, and
look for flame to ensure the burner is lit.
4. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your grill at your desired temperature!
If the burner goes out during operation, turn the regulator knob to the OFF position. Open the grill lid and wait
five minutes before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your igniter fails after three of four attempts, check the following steps, or start your grill using the
manual method.
1. Ensure the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position. Allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
2. After five minutes, check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by pushing the igniter button and looking at the
igniter tip for a spark. If no spark, adjust the distance between the igniter (electrode) tip and
burner to 4.5 mm (3/16 in).
• Visually confirm that the burner tube and portholes are not obstructed. If blocked, follow
