Lighting Your Grill - Kalamazoo K54DB Use And Care Manual

Lighting Your Grill

Before lighting your grill, be sure you have followed the instructions in this Use and Care
Guide regarding proper setup, placement, gas connections leak testing (see page 13) and
safe operation (see page 4), all of which precede this page.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present at any time. Follow leak
testing procedures before using the grill.
Standard Lighting Procedure:
1. Open the grill lid.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn the main gas supply on.
4. To light one burner at a time, press the control knob inward firmly. The bezel light should flash
white. Continue pressing in for 5 seconds, which is 5 flashes of the bezel light. This pre-heats the
hot-surface igniter.
5. While keeping the knob pressed inward firmly, rotate the knob 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the
HIGH/START position (see Figure 16). This begins the flow of gas.
6. Keep pressing inward. Listen and watch for the burner to ignite. If the burner does not ignite within
five seconds return the valve back to the OFF position. Wait five minutes for the gas to clear before
trying again to light the burner.
7. Once the burner has lit, you must continue pressing in on the valve while the safety thermocouple heats
up. This can take up to 20 seconds.
8. Release the control knob. The flame should stay lit and the bezel light should change to a steady
orange glow.
IMPORTANT:
This grill uses safety valves to help protect you and your property. These
valves are connected to thermocouples designed to sense when there is flame coming from
the burner. Once the burner is lit, it takes up to 20 seconds for the thermocouple to heat up.
During this time, the safety device must be bypassed by pressing fully inward on the control
knob. It is very important to observe the burner has successfully lit during this time. If it has
not successfully lit, gas will be flowing into the grill, which can result in serious injury.
If you stop pressing in before the thermocouple has heated up, the safety device will cut off
the flow of gas to the burner and the flame will go out. You will have to reignite the burner.
After returning the control knob to the OFF position, follow steps 4 through 7 above.
IMPORTANT:
Do not operate the infrared rotisserie burner(s) at the same time as the
primary grill burners.
