Lighting the Grill Using the Ignitor
How to light your LP gas grill using the ignitor
1) Open the Hood. Make sure LP Cylinder is connected and
Control Knobs are “Off”.
2) If using a 20 lb. LP Cylinder instead of 1 lb. LP Cylinder,
open the LP gas cylinder valve by turning the valve handle
counter-clockwise until it stops. (FIG. 19A)
3) From the “OFF” position, push in and turn the Control
Knob counterclockwise to “I” until you feel resistance.
(FIG. 19B)
4) Pause 4 seconds, then push in and turn the Control Knob
until a click is heard and the burner is lit. Check through
the grill body opening and the Cooking Surface to see if
burner is lit. (FIG. 19C)
5) Repeat Step 3 until burner is lit.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an
explosion from gas build-up.
· During failed lighting attempts, or if the burner goes out
during operation, turn control knobs “Off” to dissipate
any accumulation of gas. Wait five minutes before
repeating lighting procedure.
