IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Igniter System consists of an electronic
igniter unit, individual burner-mounted ceramic
electrodes, and lead wires. Gas is routed to
the electrodes at each burner. When the
igniter knob is pressed, an electric spark is
created at the ceramic electrode. The gas is
then ignited by the spark.
To test: Watch the electrode tip inside the gas
collector while activating the igniter. To avoid a
possible shock, do not touch the burner or
metal parts on igniter system while performing
igniter test. A visible spark should jump from
the electrode. The spark gap is set when the
electrode is installed.
If there isn't a spark, check the lead wires
and connections. The igniter wires should be
kept away from the grill bottom. Also check
that the ceramic electrode that is mounted
underneath the burner is not broken.
Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the
electrode can prevent an igniter spark. Clean
them with a degreaser or warm soapy water,
and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip and
metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an
emery cloth or fine-grain sandpaper.
(Read all the steps before beginning.)
STEP 1. Check the burner venturi tubes for
blockage from an insect nest (see,
“CLEANING THE BURNER VENTURI
TUBES”).
STEP 2. Ensure that all of the burner-control
knobs are in the OFF position.
STEP 3.
STEP 4. Turn on the fuel supply valve on the
L.P. gas cylinder. 1 to 1-1/2 counter-clockwise
turn is enough to open the valve.

CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms
over the grill.
STEP 5. To light using the igniter:
Push in and turn the left-most burner-control
knob counter-clockwise to the high setting.
STEP 6. Immediately press in the igniter
button until you hear it clicking. Repeat 4 to 5
times if necessary.
The burner should light.
STEP 7. If the burner fails to light properly,
turn the burner control knob off. Also turn off
the L.P. cylinder knob. Wait five minutes before
attempting to light the burner again. This will
allow time for released gas to disperse.
HINT: If the burner does not light after trying
again, turn off burner-control knob, the L.P.
cylinder knob and try match lighting the grill
once the gas has cleared.
If your electronic igniter does not click, you
may need to replace the battery. Simply
unscrew the igniter button from the control
panel to access the battery.
Operating the Control Knobs
Use the LEFT-MOST burner gas control knob, PUSH
IN and rotate counter-clockwise.
PRESS THE IGNITER BUTTON - you will hear it
clicking.
