(See FIG. 15A)
3. Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counter
clockwise until it stops. (See FIG. 15B)
4. Insert a lit match through match-lighting hole
underneath the grill bowl on the right side. (FIG. 16)

counterclockwise to the “High” position. (See FIG. 15C
& 15D)
6. From the “Off” position, push left control knob in and
turn counterclockwise to the High position. Your grill
has a crossover ignition system that allows the
burner to light each side successively. Make sure the
left side of burner is lit.
7. If either side of burner fails to light, repeat Step 4 & 5.
If any or all burners fail to light after three or four
attempts following Steps 4-5, 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.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an
explosion from any gas accumulation.
· If lighting attempts fail, or the burners go out during
operation, turn all control knobs “Off” to dissipate any
accumulation of gas. Accidental ignition could occur.
Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.
· Light both left and right sides of burner to prevent gas
from accumulating.
· When reaching under the grill, avoid contact with hot
surfaces.

Yellow Tip
Primarily Blue
Flame
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. (FIG. 18)
FIG. 18
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout
the grilling season. Always check especially after long periods
of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color,
the 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.
