3.
Spray some solution on all connections and hoses. (As the fig. shown on right).

Inspect the solution, looking for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connections and
hoses are secure.

If bubbles appear on the hose, contact the customer service center and get a
replacement.

Lighting Your Grill

Danger: Failure to open lid while igniting the barbecue's burners or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the
barbecue does not light ,may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent
possible bodily injury.
Main Burner

Open lid while lighting burners.
WARNING: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A
clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

heard. Push button ignition: Push and turn desired burner control knob to the "High" position and then push the ignitor
button. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, return the control knob to the "OFF" position immediately.
Wait five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other
burner desired.
