Brinkmann Portable Tailgate Gas Grill - Manual (Page 11)

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Follow the instructions exactly.
1. OPEN THE GRILL LID before attempting to light a burner so that fumes do not accumulate inside
the grill. An explosion could occur if grill lid is down.
2. Check that all burner control knobs and the cylinder valve are turned to the "OFF" position.
3. Turn on the fuel supply by rotating the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise to full open.
4. DO NOT stand with head, body, or arms over the grill when lighting.
LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:
1. Open lid before lighting burner.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Select the burner to be lit. Push and turn the control knob of that burner
to the "HIGH" position.
4. Press the electronic igniter and hold for 3 – 5 seconds to light burner.
5. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn control knob to "OFF", wait 5
minutes to allow gas to dissipate and repeat lighting procedure.
6. Repeat steps 3 – 5 for lighting each burner. Always use electronic igniter for lighting each burner. If
burner does not ignite using the push-button igniter, wait 5 minutes, see "Match Lighting the Main
Burners" section.
7. To turn off, turn each control knob clockwise until it locks in the "OFF" position. This does not turn off
the gas flow from the cylinder.
Note: If burner does not light or flame is too low, you may have spider or other insect blockage in
burner, or the flow limiting device has been activated. See "Burner Assembly/Maintenance"
under Proper Care and Maintenance, or "Regulator Resetting Procedure" under Connecting LP
Cylinder and Hose/Regulator to Grill.
MATCH LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:
1. Open lid before lighting.
2. Turn the burner control knobs to "OFF".
3. Place a paper match in the end of the matchlighter. Strike the
match and place through lighting hole in the left hand side of the
grill to approximately 1/2" (1 to 2 cm) from the burner.
4. Turn on the FAR LEFT burner control knob to the "HIGH"
position. The burner should light within 5 seconds.
5. If the burner does not light, turn the control knob to "OFF" and
wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate and repeat lighting procedure.
6. Once lit, light adjacent burners in sequence by pressing in and
rotating the control knob to the "HIGH" position.
7. If the burner does not light within the first few attempts of match lighting, there is a problem with the
gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and cylinder. DO NOT attempt to operate the grill until the
problem is found and corrected. See "Trouble Shooting" section of this manual.
