Comments: An unsuccessful ignition is often experienced when a gust of flames occurs due to the grill being
flooded with gas. This is a result of failure to follow the proper lighting instructions as explained in the owner's
manual. The gas is left on for over the allowed 3 to 5 seconds before ignition and finally it ignites. If the grill
fails to light with the igniter, use the match lighting instructions explained in the owner's manual.
