To properly install the flavor generator plates;
Place the flavor generators over the burner so
that the "V" is slanted outward and the small
lips overlap over the center of the burner.
To light the infrared rotisserie burner (rotisserie models only): The location of the infrared
burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill
burners. For this reason you should avoid utilizing it during windy conditions. As an added
precaution the burner is equipped with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to
flow to the infrared burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob turned on:
1. The safety valve button is pressed, or
2. The safety probe is sufficiently heated to open the valve.
Open the hood. Push and turn the control knob to the light position. Press the safety valve
button and begin turning the spark ignitor knob located next to the rotisserie knob. It may be
necessary to turn the ignitor knob several times until the burner ignites. You will hear a clicking
sound. At the same time, a spark will be provided at the safety probe. After the burner lights,
hold the safety valve button in for about 5 seconds or until the burner remains lit. This is the
only burner on the professional grill with a safety valve. Once lit turn the control knob to the
desired setting. If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, release the safety button and turn
the control knob to "OFF" wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. If the ignitor
does not function, the burner can be lit by holding a lit match to the burner (with the control knob
at the light position and the safety valve button pressed.) If relighting a hot burner, wait 5
minutes. Never leave the rotisserie control knob on if the rotisserie is not in use.
