Before Lighting Grill
Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply
tubing or hose. Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts,
wear and tear, or other damage which could require
replacement prior to use. Make sure all burner
control knobs are off. DO NOT attempt to light the
burners if the smell of gas is present.
Check the connection with a soap and water
solution after attaching the hose. Make sure there is
gas in the tank and the tank is upright.
Flavor Generator Plates Proper Installation
Place the stainless
steel perforated flavor
generator plates so
that the front and rear
tabs rest on the grill
frame. The flash tube
must be accessible
through the plates. If
the flash tube is not
accessible, the flavor
generator plates are
not properly installed.
Using Grill with Outdoor Approved
Hoods

installed in a covered yet non-enclosed (well
ventilated) area. Outdoor hoods aid greatly
in smoke and odor removal, but should not
be expected to eliminate them entirely. They
should also be protected from natural elements
(such as rain) as much as possible.

possible when cooking so smoke is exhausted

the outdoor hood may be compromised.
Lighting Grill/Smoke Burners
Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly
grounded receptacle. Turn the appropriate control
knob counter-clockwise to any position. This control
is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners
will ignite at any “ON” position with the automatic
re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any
reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the
gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to
the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On
all surface igniters you should hear a clicking sound.
If you do not, turn off the control and check that
the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit
breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have
traveled to the burner to be able to light. When
the burner lights, turn the burner control to any
position to adjust the flame size.
If the burner does
not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to “OFF”
and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
This will
allow accumulated gas to dissipate. After several
failed attempts the burner can be lit with a paper
book match using the flash tubes.
If you have just attempted to light the burner with
the igniter, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas
to dissipate. Place the lit match through the grid
next to the flash tube of the burner being lit. Keep
your face as far away from the grill as possible.
Make sure the match is adjacent to the flash tube.
Push and turn the control knob until the “HIGH”
position on the knob aligns with the indicator line
on the control panel. Make sure you are turning
the control knob that corresponds with the burner
being lit.
If the burner does not light in 4 seconds,
turn the knob to “OFF,” wait 5 minutes, and
try again.
If the burner will not light after several
attempts, see the Troubleshooting section.
