Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout
the grilling season. Also check 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.
Your 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. (See diagram below)

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 Manual
Lighting the Side Burner.
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 gas build-up.
1. Open the Hood.
2. Important: Make sure control knobs are turned “Off”.
(See FIG. 17B)
3. Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counter
clockwise until it stops. (See FIG. 17A)
3. Locate either the left or right match lighting hole you
intend to use underneath the grill bowl. Push in and
turn either the far left or far right control knob near the
match lighting hole counter-clockwise to the “High”
position. (See FIG. 17C & 17D)
4. Insert a lit match through the match-lighting hole
using the match holder. (FIG. 18A & 18B)
5) From the “Off” position, light all other burners from
left or right, making sure each burner is lit before
lighting the next. 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.
If any or all burners fail to light after three or four
attempts following Steps 3-4, turn all knobs 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
burner still fails to light, refer to the Troubleshooting
Section.
8. After ignition, turn the control knobs to “High” for 3-5
minutes and close the Hood to preheat the grill.
Preheat the grill before every cooking session.)
If a burner goes out during operation, turn all knobs to
the “Off” position and close the LP cylinder valve to
dissipate any accumulated gas. Open hood and wait
five minutes before attempting to relight the grill.

holder.
FIG. 18C
1. Open the side burner lid. (FIG. 18C)
