FIG. 14C Control Knob in OFF position FIG.15A Side Burner fittings under Side Table LIGHTING THE GRILL USING THE IGNITOR To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death: · Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from any gas accumulation. · If lighting attempts fail, or the burners go out during operation, turn all control knobs “Off” to dissipate any accumulation of gas. Accidental ignition could occur. Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.
MANUAL LIGHTING THE GRILL To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death: · Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from any gas accumulation. · If lighting attempts fail, or the burners go out during operation, turn all control knobs “Off” to dissipate any accumulation of gas. Accidental ignition could occur. Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure. · Light both left and right sides of burner to prevent gas from accumulating.
MANUAL LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER Cooking on the Grids: The burners heat up the Flame Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flame Diffusers below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor. To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death: · If lighting attempts fail, or the burner goes out during operation, turn control knob “Off” to dissipate any accumulation of gas.
· Do not use the grill without the Drip Cup in place. Empty excess grease to avoid a fire under the grill. · If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. (See Performing a Leak Test.

(FIG. 20D) Open up the main burner holes and the side burner holes with a small nail or wire.Normal wear and corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large cracks or holes are found, replace the Burner. Use a brass wire brush to remove food particles and corrosion from the burner surfaces. (Note: It is normal for surface rust to be present on the burners.
