Lighting the Main Burners
Never stand directly over the Grill when lighting the main burn-
ers, to avoid exposure to possible flare-ups.
1. Always open the Hood completely and always inspect the
Grill and burners before lighting the main burners.
2. Always confirm that all of the burner control knobs are in
the OFF position before opening the gas supply.
3. Turn on the Propane Tank Valve at the tank (1 to 2 turns)
(Fig. 8)or turn on the main natural gas supply valve.
4. Turn the selected Burner Control Knob to the HIGH posi-
tion by pushing down on the knob and turning it counter-
clockwise.
5. Immediately activate the Igniter. (Refer to Page 6) The
selected burner should light within five seconds. Light the
burners sequentially from either left to right or right to left.
IF THE SELECTED BURNER DOES NOT LIGHT,
immediately turn the burner control knob to the OFF posi-
tion, to prevent gas buildup. Wait five (5) minutes for the gas to
clear and then repeat the preceding
starting procedure. If the burner will not light when using the Igniter, follow the match lighting instructions.
(Refer to Page 8)
6. Confirm that the burner is properly lit and the flame pattern is as desired. Refer to Figures 9a, 9b & 9c, for the
proper flame patterns. If the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the Troubleshooting Guide on Page 23 for
corrective action.
7. Always preheat the grill before starting cooking. A light coating of cooking oil on the cooking grids, before heating
the Grill, will prevent foods from sticking to the Grill. Light all burners and adjust them to the HIGH position for
5 to 10 minutes. Before placing any food on the Grill, clean the cooking grids with a brass wire brush.
8. Adjust the Controls to a medium setting for most cooking requirements.
