Igniting the Side Burner

Using the Electronic Ignition to
Ignite the Side Burner
This feature is only available on select models.
If one or more of the main burners on your grill are already
lit and you would like to ignite the side burner, skip to step
3. If none of the main burners are lit and you are only using
the side burner, start with step 1.
1) Check that the side burner control knob is in the
off position. Check by pushing in and turning knob
clockwise (A). Also check that all main burner control
knobs are in the off
Note: It is important that all burner control knobs are in
the off position before turning on the LP tank. If they
are not, the flow limiting device built into the regulator will
activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank.
2) Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve
counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds.
Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on slowly.
If it is opened too quickly, the flow limiting device built into
the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from
the LP tank.
3) Open the side burner lid (B).
4) Push in and turn side burner control knob
counterclockwise to start/high
5) Push and hold in the electronic ignition button (D). You
will hear the igniter clicking. Check that the side burner
is lit. The side burner flame may be difficult to see on a
bright sunny day.
6) Once side burner is ignited, continue turning the knob
counterclockwise until you reach the desired position.
7) If the side burner does not ignite within 4 seconds, turn
side burner control knob to the off
five minutes to allow the gas to clear before attempting
to light the burner again.
Should the side burner fail to ignite using the electronic
ignition, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
There you will find instructions on igniting the side burner
with a match to help determine the exact problem.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill
Over time, the performance of your grill can diminish if
it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures,
uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all
signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue. When
your grill is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside, from
the top down. A thorough cleaning is recommended at
least twice a year. Consistent use may require quarterly
cleanings.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice "paint-like" flakes on
the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors
slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of
your lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and looks
very similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the
flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid
regularly.
1) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid
with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A). To minimize
further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with
a paper towel after grilling while the grill is still warm
(not hot).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
Cleaned grates will prevent your next meal from sticking. If
you are cleaning your cooking grates regularly, the debris
on your grates will be minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris off your cooking
grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (B).
2) Take the grates out and set aside.
Cleaning the FLAVORIZER BARS
FLAVORIZER BARS catch drippings that smoke and sizzle,
adding flavor to your food. Any drippings that are not
vaporized by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away
from the burners. This helps prevent flare-ups inside of
your grill, and protects the burners from getting clogged.
1) Scrape the FLAVORIZER BARS with a plastic scraper
(C).
2) If necessary, brush the FLAVORIZER BARS with a
stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3) Remove FLAVORIZER BARS and set aside.
Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum
performance are the ports (small raised openings running
along the length of the burners) and the spider/insect
screens on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas
clean is essential for safe operation.
Cleaning the Burner Ports
1) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean
the outside of the burners by brushing across the top of
the burner ports (D).
2) When cleaning the burners, avoid damaging the ignition
electrode by carefully brushing around it.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
1) Locate the ends of the burners on the underside of the
control panel where they meet the valves.
2) Clean the spider/insect screens on each of the burners
using a soft bristle brush (E).
Cleaning the Heat Deflectors
Located under the burners, the heat deflectors distribute
heat evenly throughout the cookbox while cooking.
Keeping heat deflectors clean will enhance the cooking
performance of your grill.
1) Scrape the heat deflectors with a plastic scraper.
2) If necessary, brush the heat deflectors with a stainless
steel bristle grill brush.
3) Remove heat deflectors and set aside.
