Lighting the Side Burner
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Open Side Burner Lid before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.
WARNING
!
1. Open the Side Burner Lid. (Fig. 13) NOTE: Side Burner Lid is to remain open while the Side Burner is on or hot.
2. IMPORTANT: Make sure the Side Burner Control Knob is turned “Off” first. (Fig. 7 - P.18)
3. Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counterclockwise until it stops. (Fig. 8- P.18)
4. Push Side Burner Control Knob in and turn counterclockwise to the High position. (Fig. 7- P.18)
5. Push the Igniter Button on the Main Control Panel in until the Burner is lit. Listen for the spark ignition and look to
make sure the Burner is lit. If no spark, see Troubleshooting Section.
6. If the Burner fails to light, repeat Step 3.
If the Burner fails to light after three or four attempts following Steps 3-6, turn the Side Burner Control Knob to the
“Off” position, and close the LP Gas Cylinder valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Wait five minutes; then repeat the
lighting procedures.
NOTE: If the Burners still fail to light, refer to Troubleshooting Section. The Burner can be lit manually, see
Manually Lighting the Side Burner.
Open Lid
Check The Flame
The Burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small
yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture.
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the flame especially after long
periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP
gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked Burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest
inside the Burner or Burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.
