Lighting Your Grill
Danger: Failure to open hood while igniting the grill or not waiting 5 minutes to al-
low the gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up
which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Before cooking on this grill for the first time, operate the grill for about 15 minutes
with the lid closed and the gas turned on “high”. This will “heat clean” the internal
parts and dissipate odor from the manufacturing processes and painted finish.
Main Burners:
1. Always open the lid before lighting the grill.
Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion!
2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and in-
sects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged
burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
3. Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
4. Open the valve on the LP gas cylinder.
5. Ignite only the burners you desire to use, using the same method for each burn-
er: Push in and rotate knob to “HIGH” then push and hold Electronic Ignition
Button until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in 5 seconds, return
the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure.
After the burner ignites, repeat the same procedure with any other burner de-
sired. Adjust knobs to desired cooking setting.
After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit.
If burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “off” at the
control panel and at the gas cylinder and open hood/lid to let the gas clear for
about 5 minutes before re-lighting. Clean your grill after each use, DO NOT use
abrasive or flammable cleaners, as it will damage the parts of this product and may
start a fire.
