barbecue, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow
the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light,
may result in an explosive flame-up which
can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Note - The Crossover Ignition System ignites the Left
burner of each heat zone with a spark from the igniter
electrode inside the Gas Catcher Ignition Chamber. You
generate the energy for the spark by pushing the
Crossover Ignition Button until it clicks.

for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is

a small amount of gas is still flowing to the
burners. After turning OFF the tank and
