LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
1. Open the grill hood.
2. Make sure all the control knobs are in the
OFF position.
3. Turn on the main gas supply.
4. Push in any knob until fully depressed and
hold in while you rotate it counterclockwise
(le). You will feel and hear 1 noticeable
“click” as the ignition system sparks. Release
the knob in the HIGH position. The burner
should ignite within 2-3 seconds. You will
see, hear and feel the burner flash upon
ignition. If the burner fails to ignite within
5 seconds, depress the knob fully and rotate
it clockwise (right) back to the off position.
5. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to fully clear and
try again.
1. 1. Remove the grates and charcoal baskets,
from inside the grill. Do not remove the
burner covers, and this will affect the
combustion characteristics of the burner.
2. 2. Individually light the burners and observe
the flame one burner at a time. Only light
the burner being checked.
3. Each burner port on the tube should produce
similar, steady blue tongues of flame with
lile or no orange at the tips. The flames
should not li off the burner. If the flame
is excessively orange or yellow, it usually
means the burner needs more primary air
and the shuer needs to be opened. If the
flames are liing, the burner is geing too
much air and the shuer needs to be closed.
The goal is to find the bluest possible flame
with no liing off the burner. You may need
to test burn the grill to find this sweet spot.
1. Open the grill hood.
2. Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF
position.
3. Turn on the main gas supply.
4. Push in the knob on the furthest, right side
of the grill until fully depressed and hold in
while you rotate it counter clockwise(le) and
past the 1 ignition “click”. Release the knob
in the HIGH position. Drop a lighted match
down the ignition tube. The burner should
ignite within 2-3 seconds. You will see, hear
and feel the burner flash upon ignition. If
the burner fails to ignite within 5 seconds,
depress the knob fully and rotate it clockwise
(right) back to the off position.
5. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to fully clear and
try again.
STANDARD LIGHTING PROCEDURE:
BREAK IN.
TUNE UP.
MATCH LIGHTING PROCEDURE:
Each of the burners on your AMG operate
independently and must be lit, adjusted, and shut
down separately.
When lighting the grill for the first time, you will
likely notice a moderate amount of smoke and
fumes coming from the burners, burner covers
and charcoal trays as the components heat
up. This is caused by oils that are used in the
manufacture of these components and should
only last a few minutes. AMG recommends that
you burn the grill with all burners on high for at
Whenever possible, AMG recommends using
the Standard Lighting Procedure above. In the
event the grill will not light using this process, it
is possible to light the grill using a lighted match.
Each burner is tested and adjusted before leaving
our factory in Irvine, California. However they may
lose adjustment during shipping and installation.
Performance characteristics may also change with
altitude and gas characteristics based on your
local area. Each burner should produce a steady
burning blue flame with lile, if any orange at the
tips. To check for proper burner operation

least 30 minutes before using the grill for cooking.
When the smoke clears, note the appearance
of the flames and check for the presence of any
sooting accumulating on the burner covers,
charcoal trays, or grates.
TUNING THE BURNERS
(
PRIMARY AIR
)
The main burner air shuers are easily accessed
by carefully removing the burners.
1. Ensure all of the control knobs on the grill
are in the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the grates, charcoal baskets, and
burner covers from inside the grill and set
carefully aside.
3. Remove the screw and washers at the far,
“squashed” end of the burner.
4. Using both hands, hold the burner level and
slide it carefully toward the back of the grill
until the venturi is free from the gas valve
nozzle.
5. Remove the burner.
6. Loosen, but don’t remove the shuer set
screw.
7. Rotate the shuer to allow more, or less
primary air through the openings on the
end of the burner venturi.
8. Tighten the shuer set screw to retain the
new position.
