LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
Remove the top grill cover before lighting. Turn all knobs to “OFF”. Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas, shut-
off gas supply and call for service.
Grill Lighting Instructions:
The grill knob is connected to the electronic ignition module. Pushing in on the grill knob will activate the igni-
tion module to get a spark. Push and hold the ignition button, turn the selected burner knob to “SEAR”. If burner
does not light in 4 to 5 seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas
to dissipate.
Grill Match Lighting:
If the burner will not light after several attempts, then the burner can be match lit. If you’ve just attempted to
light the burner with the ignition, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as far
away from the outdoor appliance as possible and hold a paper book match over the hole located on the top left
for burner on the left, or the right hole for the right burner (Fig. 52 and Fig. 53). Push and turn the control knob
which is centered on the burner where the lit match is located, to “SEAR”. If the burner does not light in 4 sec-
onds, turn the knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again.
Once the left or right burner is lit, the adjacent burner can be lit by the cross-lighting method. Light the left or
right burner using the standard or match light procedure. Push and turn the control knob for the adjacent burner
to “SEAR”. The gas will be ignited by the adjacent burners flame. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn
knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again.
USE OF THE GRILL
Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, stainless steel heat baffles, a
series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel radiant tray, and a stainless steel heat
retaining grates. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr. Below the burners there is a stain-
less steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces
temperatures of the drip pan below. Above the burners are stainless steel
radiant trays which encase the ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from block-
age (Fig. 54).
The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. Because of the porosity of ceramic rods,
performance is superior in the rods’ ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. They also possess the
thermal mass needed for results. Flare ups are controlled because our radiant ceramic rods keep grease from get-
ting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces true outdoor-cooked flavor
as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized. Discoloration is normal after use.
