AT EACH NEW SEASON
A quick safety check should be performed on the appliance if it has not been used for
an extended period of time (for your safety).
1. Remove the grates and check the burners, shutters, orifices, and valves for
obstructions.
2. Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and can disrupt air flow,
causing damage to the grill and personal injury.
3. Clean and inspect the gas hose. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks,
do not use the grill. The hose must be replaced prior to using the unit. Replace the
hose assembly with the exact type specified by Crown Verity.
Lighting Your Grill
Before lighting your grill, be sure you have followed the instructions in this manual
regarding proper setup, placement, gas connections leak testing and safe operation, all
of which precede this page.
STANDARD LIGHTING PROCEDURE
• Open roll dome so gas will not build up within the unit before lighting.
• Make sure the main burner valves are in the OFF position (See “Figures 11 and 12”).
• Turn the main gas supply on and wait 15 seconds.
• For appliances equipped with a lighting package: Turn the pilot valve into the on position.
WARNING: BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
• Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present at any time. Follow leak testing
procedures before using the unit.
• Always keep the lid open when lighting your grill.
• Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion,
property damage, personal injury or death.
• Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a
burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to
dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
• NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE THE GRILL IS LIT.
