Match-Lighting
Do not lean over grill while lighting.
Open lid. Turn on gas at LP cylinder slowly.
Light burners one at a time.
Match Lighting the Main Burners
1. Place match into match holder (hanging from right
side of the firebox).
2. Strike the match and position lit match through the
grates and hold next to the burner.
3. Push in and turn burner control knob to Hi.
Continue to press in on the control knob until the
burner ignites or up to 5 seconds.
4. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner control knob OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to
clear away, and repeat the lighting procedure.
Burner Flame Check
Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light
burners, and rotate knobs from Hi to Low. You should
see a smaller flame on Low than you see on Hi.
Perform a burner flame check on the side burner as
well (if equipped). Always check flame prior to each
use. If only low flame is seen, then refer to “Sudden
flame drop or low flame” in the Troubleshooting
Section.
Turning Grill Off
Turn all knobs to OFF. Turn LP cylinder OFF by
turning the hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Igniter Check
Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic
ignitor button. A “clicking” sound should be heard
and spark seen between the electrode and burner.
See “Troubleshooting” if no click or spark.
Batteries
Batteries will deteriorate over time, especially in
outdoor conditions. This can cause their casings to
leak. Check the condition of the battery periodically
before use. Remove the battery from the electronic
ignition before storing your grill.
Valve Check
Important: Make sure gas if off at LP cylinder before
checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
valves, first push in knobs and release. Knobs should
spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace
valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to Low
position and then turn back to OFF position. The
valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or
worn. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use
only identical replacement part valve / hose /
regulator as specified in the Parts List of this Use and
Care Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
Hood Interior: Use a strong solution of detergent and
water or a grill cleaner with scrub brush. Rinse and
allow to air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill / oven
cleaner to painted surfaces.
Plastic Parts: Wash with warm soapy water and
wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers
or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts.
Damage to and failure of parts can result.
Porcelain Surfaces: Because of glass-like
composition, most residue can be wiped away with
baking soda / water solution or specially formulated
cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for
stubborn stains.
Painted Surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or
nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe
dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when
not in use.
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat
the lighting procedure. If the burner does not
ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to
flow out of the burner and could accidently
ignite with risk of injury.
