DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak
1. Always perform the “leak test“ as below before lighting the grill and each time the natural gas hose is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the natural gas supply, call for
gas appliance service or your local natural gas supplier.
Checking
for
Leaks
1.
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by
mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap
with three
parts
water.
2.
Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3.
Spray some solution on
the connection points of the natural gas hose.
4.
Inspect the solution at the
connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5.
If bubbles appear,
you
have a leak. Proceed to step 6.
6.
Disconnect the natural gas hose from the valve and reconnect.
Make sure the connection is secured.
7.
Retest
with solution.
8.
If
you continue to see bubbles, replace the
quick release connector or/and natural gas hose.
Lighting Your Grill
DANGER:
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill 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.
Lighting Main Burner
1. Open lid
during lighting.
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.
2.
Make sure all control knobs are in OFF position.
3. Open natural gas valve.
4. Ignite only the burners
you
wish to use, using the same method for each:
Push and turn control knob slowly about 1/4 turn counter-clockwise until a click is heard.
(See diagram to right.) If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn the burner control(s) off, wait 5 minutes and
repeat lighting instructions.
5. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other burner desired.
6.
Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the
Main Burners
1.
Insert a match into
the end of lighting stick. Light the match.
2. Once lit, put the lighting stick through
the cooking grid and place the flame next to
the burner ports found along the sides of the desired burner (See diagram to right.)
3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’
position. The burner should light immediately.
If more than
one burner
is desired, repeat the procedure 2-3
until all desired burners are lit
.
4. Adjust valve knob(s) to the desired cooking temperature.
Precautions:
1. After lighting, observe the
burner flame.
Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn
the gas “OFF”.
Open
lid
to let the gas clear for at least
5
minutes before re-lighting.
