· Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an
explosion from gas build-up.
· Always inspect the gas hose and regulator as-
sembly before each use. If the hose is cut, dam-
aged, or showing signs of excessive abrasion
or wear, do not use the LP gas grill. Contact the
manufacturer, as the hose must be replaced with
an assembly specified by the manufacturer prior
to further use of the LP gas grill.
How to manually light your LP gas grill
1) Open Hood.
2) Important: The LP gas cylinder valve must
be opened first before turning the control knobs on
the grill. Turn the handle on the LP cylinder valve
counter- clockwise until it stops.
3) Insert a lit match through one of the match-
lighting holes underneath the front control panel on
the grill. (See figure below).
4) Locate the control knob that corresponds to the match
lighting hole that you are using. Push in and turn the
control knob counter-clockwise until a click is heard.
WARNING: If the burner fails to ignite after
following the above procedure, turn all the knobs
to
the off position and close the valve on the LP
cylinder.
Wait five minutes and repeat all of the above
manual lighting procedures. If the grill still fails
to light, see the Troubleshooting page.
5) Light the remaining burners from left to right by turn-
ing the control knob counter-clockwise. Your grill has a
crossover ignition system that allows the burners to light
successively off one another. Confirm each burner is lit
before lighting another burner.
6) After ignition, burners should be burned at the high
position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat the grill. This
process should be done before every cooking session.
The hood should be closed during preheating when
cooking with gas. The hood should be open during
preburn when using charcoal or wood chunks.
WARNING: If a burner goes out during the cooking
cycle, turn all knobs to the off position and close
the valve on the LP cylinder. Open hood and wait
