burners, to avoid exposure to possible flare-ups.
1. always open the Hood completely and always in-
spect the Grill and burners before lighting the main
burners.
2. always confirm that all of the burner control knobs
are in the OFF position before opening the gas supply.
3. Turn on the Propane Tank Valve at the tank (1 to 2
turns) (Fig. 8)or turn on the main natural gas supply
valve.
4. Turn the selected Burner Control knob to the HIGH
position by pushing down on the knob and turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Immediately activate the Igniter. (Refer to Page 13)
The selected burner should light within five seconds.
Light the burners sequentially from either left to right or
right to left.

immediately turn the burner control knob to the OFF
position, to prevent gas buildup. Wait five (5) minutes for the gas to clear and then repeat the preceding
starting procedure. If the burner will not light when using the Igniter, follow the match lighting instructions.
(Refer to Page 15)
6. Confirm that the burner is properly lit and the flame pattern is as desired. Refer to Figures 9a, 9b &
9c, for the proper flame patterns. If the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the Troubleshooting
Guide on Page 29 for corrective action.
7. Always preheat the grill before starting cooking. A light coating of cooking oil on the cooking grids,
before heating the Grill, will prevent foods from sticking to the Grill. Light all burners and adjust them
to the HIGH position for 5 to 10 minutes. Before placing any food on the Grill, clean the cooking grids
with a brass wire brush.
8. Adjust the Controls to a medium setting for most cooking requirements.
