Manually Lighting the Burner(s)
1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions
for connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the grill without testing for leaks first.
Keep all body parts as far away from the side burner as possible. Do not lean over the
grill.
2. Follow steps 1-4 in the “Lighting the Burner(s)” section of the previous page.
3. Remove the griddle.
4. You may then use a long fireplace-style of match to manually light the burners. Place
the flame near the burner ports and the burner should light immediately. Make sure to
keep all body parts as far away from the side burner as possible during the process.
5. Replace the griddle and adjust the burner(s) to your desired cooking temperature.
Flare-Ups
Flare-ups can occur when fats and oils drip from the contents being grilled down onto the
burners. Flare-ups can be a good thing, imparting a fire/smoke-infused flavor into the contents
being grilled. However, if flare-ups become excessive, turn the gas to a lower setting.
Caution:
Do not leave the side burner unattended while it is in use.
Do not attempt to move the side burner while it is in use.
Do not disconnect the gas supply while the side burner is in use.
Turn the gas supply off after you are done using the side burner.
If you are unable to manually light your burners after several attempts, turn off
the gas and contact EdgeStar service or an authorized technician.
Caution:
If a grease fire occurs, do NOT use water to attempt to put it out. Turn all burners
off and close the lid. If the fire persists, use an ABC extinguisher.
If the burners go out during operation, turn off all burner knobs and shut the gas
valve at its source. Keep the lid open for at least five minutes with the gas supply
off before attempting to re-light the burners. Do not touch the cooking grates or
any internal parts of the side burner as they may burn you.
Important: If you have tried lighting your burners to no avail, wait at least five (5)
minutes before manually lighting the burners. Leave the lid off of the side burner to
allow gas to dissipate to avoid a possible hazard.
