LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Follow the instructions exactly.
1. OPEN THE GRILL LID before attempting to light a burner so that fumes do not accumulate inside
the grill. An explosion could occur if grill lid is down.
2. Check that all burner control knobs and the natural gas supply are turned to the "OFF" position.
3. Turn on the natural gas supply.
4. DO NOT stand with head, body, or arms over the grill when lighting.
Note: If burner does not light or flame is too low, you may have spider or other insect blockage in
burner. See "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and Maintenance.
LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:
1. Open lid before lighting burner.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Push and hold down the IGNITION BURNER control knob and turn
SLOWLY (2 to 3 seconds) to "IGNITE".You should hear the igniter click.
Note: Step 3 may need to be repeated 2-3 times to light grill.
4. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn control knob to OFF, wait
5 minutes to allow gas to dissipate and repeat lighting procedure.
5. To light other burners light adjacent burners first, push and turn control knobs to HIGH. Follow Step 4.
6. If burner does not ignite using the igniter, wait 5 minutes, see "Match Lighting the Main Burners"
section.

the gas flow from the gas supply.
MATCH LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS:

2. Turn the burner control knobs to "OFF".

and place through lighting hole in the left hand side of the grill to
approximately 1/2" (1 to 2 cm) from the burner.
4. Turn on the FAR LEFT burner control knob to the "HIGH" position. The
burner should light within 5 seconds.

repeat lighting procedure.
6. Once lit, light adjacent burners in sequence by pressing in and rotating the control knob to the "HIGH"
position.

until the problem is found and corrected. See "Trouble Shooting" section of this manual.
