ADJUST GRILL BURNER AIR SHUTTER
The air shutters for the grill burner may need to be
adjusted to get better flame appearance and ignition.
The air shutters for the grill burner are located on
the bottom of the grill burner. To access the air shutters,
remove the grill grate, and then the grill burner. Loosen
the screw and slide the air shutter backward or forward
to increase or decrease the size of the air opening.
Re-tighten the screw.

CHECK IGNITION
Connect electrical supply cord.
Turn on the gas; check for leaks using a liquid leak
detector at all joints in the system.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Push in one control knob
and turn to the LITE position.
The igniter will spark and the
burner will light. The first test
may require some time while air
is flushed out of the gas line. After
ignition, turn the control knob to
the HI position and wait until the flame settles.
Check to determine if your burner flames are normal.
If burner flames look like A, turn off the burner and
make sure all parts are assembled correctly.
Reassemble and check.
Normal burner flames should look like B or C,
depending on the type of gas you use. With LP gas,
some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
Turn the knob to OFF.
Repeat the procedure for each burner.
