NORMAL OPERATION NORMAL OPERATION
ƽ WARNING: Your Ducane ® grill was not designed to operate
with the Rotisserie Burner and the Main Burner(s) on at the
same time. Failure to follow this warning will lead to an over-
heating condition which would damage grill components
and cause bodily harm.
ƽ WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel sup-
ply hose away from any heated surfaces.
Lighting Your Grill
ƽ WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to
inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can be ac-
cessed through the cabinet doors on a 24” Three Burner Model,
and through the cabinet drawer on the 32” Five Burner Model.
If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose
is cut, the hose must be replaced with a manufacturer recom-
mended part prior to the appliance being put into operation.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose as-
sembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose.
ƽ DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion
any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the
lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious
bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing
damage to property.
IMPORTANT
If an external electrical source is used it must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
ƽ WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF
position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder tank
valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on
the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature
will activate, limiting the gas flow of gas from the LP cylin-
der. If this should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and
burner control knobs. Then start over.
ƽ DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control” feature is ac-
tivated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners.
After turning OFF the cylinder valve, wait at least 5 minutes
for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue.
Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up, which
can cause serious bodily injury or death.

Snap Ignition Operation
ƽ Always open the lid before igniting the burners
Each control knob has its own igniter electrode built in. To create a spark you must
push the control knob in (A) and turn to “START/High” (B).
This action will generate gas fl ow and a spark to the burner lighting tube (C). You will
hear a “snap” from the igniter. You will also see a 3˝ - 5˝ orange fl ame coming from the
burner lighting tube at the left side of the burner (D).
Continue to hold the burner control knob in for two seconds after the “snap”. This will
allow gas to fl ow completely down the burner tube (E) and insure ignition.
Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates. You should see a
fl ame. If burner does not light on fi rst try, push control knob in and turn to OFF.
ƽ WARNING: If the burner still does not light, turn the burner
control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear
before you try again or try to light with a match.
