If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to allow any
accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, then it
can be lit with a match
NOTE:To ensure proper spark ignition, do not change the gap between the electrode wires and the
burners. The optimum gap is preset at the factory between 1/8” and 3/16”.
ROTISSERIE BURNER LIGHTING:
Open the lid, press the proper igniter button (see chart above) and then turn the control knob to the “HI”
position. If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the control knob to “Off”, wait five minutes and
attempt to relight. If the igniter does not function, you can light the burner by holding a lit match to the
burner (with the control knob at the “HI” position).
After your first use of the rotisserie burner it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent and directly above
the burner will darken to a dark blue color. This is a normal property of the non-rusting, type 304
stainless steel used on the Grill and is not detrimental to its operation.
PREHEATING THE GRILL (U-BURNERS):
Preheating the grill is important for best performance. To preheat the grill when cooking with the U-
burners, close the hood after lighting the burners as described above. Set the grill control knobs on “HI”
for 15 minutes.
PREHEATING THE GRILL (IR-BURNERS):
Preheating the IR burners is important to protect them from food drippings. After lighting the IR burners
as described above, allow to preheat on “HI” for four minutes before beginning to grill.
If your grill is equipped with a SEAR-ZONE™ IR BURNER, light and preheat the U-BURNERS first, then
light and preheat the SEAR-ZONE™ IR BURNER.
PREHEATING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER:
Light the rotisserie burner as described in the lighting instructions. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will
reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS:
NOTE: Alfresco grills are available with both U-burners and IR burners. The following instructions apply
only to the U-burners. IR burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for proper
performance. On high, an IR burner should glow red evenly over its entire surface.
U-BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT:
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local
gas supply, elevation and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the
burners should be visually checked and compared with Figure 4.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.
If any of these conditions exist, check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the air shutter or
burner ports. Proceed with air shutter adjustment.
