LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
IF THE GRILL STILL FAILS TO LIGHT,
CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY. YOU COULD
BE OUT OF LP GAS OR THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY
FOR NATURAL GAS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED
OFF. IF THE LP TANK HAS GAS OR THE NATURAL
GAS IS TURNED ON AND THE GRILL STILL WILL
NOT LIGHT: CHECK THE ELECTRONIC IGNITOR
TO MAKE SURE IT IS SPARKING. IF NOT, CHECK
THE BATTERY IN THE MODULE AND ALSO MAKE
SURE THE IGNITOR WIRE IS CONNECTED BOTH
TO THE MODULE AND TO THE BOTTOM OF THE
ELECTRODE.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR GRILL,
INSPECT THE HOSE OR GAS SUPPLY. If it is
evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the
hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being
operated. Please contact your local dealer/distributor
for an exact replacement hose.
ALWAYS OPEN THE LID COMPLETELY BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BURNER. This is to avoid trapping
gas fumes, which could ignite. Do not stand with your
head over the grill when lighting the burner.
Open the lid. Examine the interior to be sure it
appears normal.
Turn control knobs to OFF position. Either control
knob may be used when lighting your PGS gas
grill.
HOLE
Turn gas ON at tank or supply.
TURN ON LIGHT
RIGHT KNOB LONG MATCH
Turn either knob to Medium and gently push the
red button on control panel ignitor module. You
should hear the ignitor clicking and one half of the
burner should be lit within four seconds. Turn the
other control knob on “HI” and the other burner will
cross light automatically.

PERIODIC CLEANING
Knowing how to remove and replace the burner allows
you to easily and thoroughly clean your grill. Even
though "Burning Off" the grill after every cookout will
keep it ready for instant use, once or twice a year you
should perform basic maintenance to keep your grill in
top operating condition.
Visually verify that the burner lights and the flame
is acceptable. Close the grill top and let the
ceramic rocks get hot. Pre-heat the grill on HI with
the lid down for five to seven minutes. This will
ensure even heat and allow cooking at MEDIUM,
for the most part.
BE SURE THAT YOUR BARBECUE IS COLD, GAS
SUPPLY IS OFF AND THAT YOUR FEEDLINE IS
BLED OF ANY GAS.
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST OBSERVING GRILL
FOR TWO MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING. SMALL
LEAKS AND OR SPIDER FIRES CAN EASILY BE
REMEDIED IF CAUGHT IMMEDIATELY.
1. After removing cooking grids, ceramic rock and
rock grates, remove your burner assembly by first
carefully disconnecting the lead wire from your ignitor
module. Gently pull the burner forward to release the
spring clip, then pull the burner assembly forward and
up. Cover the valve orifices with a small piece of
aluminum foil to keep out dirt. Brush both sides and
the bottom of the burner with a stiff wire brush. Any
clogged flame holes may be opened using a thin wire.
Use a venturi brush (or bottlebrush), pipe cleaner or
long flexible wire to clean out the venturis. Since the
grill housing is heavy rust-free cast aluminum, you are
only trying to remove built up grease and debris.
IF THE BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT
Immediately turn controls OFF to prevent gas build-up.
Wait five minutes for gas to clear and try the above
procedure again. If the burner does not light with the
electronic ignition, light the burner with a match or
other hand held ignitor. On the right hand side of the
lower grill casting, near the bottom, there is a match
lighting hole (see Fig. 19). Raise the grill lid. Light a
long match (or other ignitor) and turn the RIGHT hand
control knob to HI. Insert the lit match (or ignitor) into
the hole to the end of the burner and light the grill.
Under some adverse wind conditions it may be
necessary to turn the grill or to light the burner via a
vent opening under the grill head.
2. DO NOT DAMAGE THE CERAMIC PROBE OR
COLLECTOR BOX.
DO NOT TOSS A LIT MATCH INTO THE UNIT AND
TURN THE GAS ON!
