Operation

Before Lighting Grill
Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply
tubing or hose. Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts,
wear and tear, or other damage which could require
replacement prior to use. Make sure all burner
control knobs are off. Do not attempt to light the
burners if the smell of gas is present.
Check the connection with a soap and water
solution after attaching the hose. Make sure there is
gas in the tank and the tank is upright.
Flavor Generator Plates Proper Installation
Place the stainless steel
perforated flavor
generator plates so that
the front and rear tabs
rest on the grill frame.
The flash tube must be
accessible through the
plates. If the flash
tube is not accessible,
the flavor generator
plates are not properly
installed.

After the rotisserie burner lights, hold in the control

remains lit. Turn the control knob to the desired
setting. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds,
