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.
Breaking in Your Grill
When fi ring your grill for the fi rst time, it is advisable to run the Main Burner(s) on
“HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the Main Burners “OFF”. This
tempers the grill.
Lighting Your Grill
ƽ WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to
inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident
there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the
hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation.
ƽ DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control” feature is
activated, 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.
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.
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 flow from the LP cylinder. If this
should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and burner
control knobs. Start over.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose
assembly. For base cabinet model grills, it will be necessary to go behind your grill to
check the hose.
