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. Turn on gas source or tank valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use. P ush and turn the knob to “HIGH” then press
the igniter button immediately. The burner should light. If the burner does not light,
repeat 2 or 3 times.
5. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 second turn the burner controls to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
6.
To ignite remaining burners, repeat same procedure.
7. 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, place the flame through the hole on grill body to reach the burner ports.
(As the fig shown on right side).
3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counter clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position.
The burner should light immediately. If more than one burner is desired, use the
carry over channel to light each adjacent burner by pressing the valve knob and
rotate it counter –clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, repeat the same procedure
for
each adjacent burner and continue in sequence until all desired burners are lit .
4. Adjust burners 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.
3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time and operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the
gas
turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and painted
finish.
4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause
a
fire.
Observe flame

Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is
normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is
necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
WARNING:
Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare-ups intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
1.
Always turn the valve knob(s)clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, and then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob
without pressing it. This could damage the valve.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
CAUTION:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and the
propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning
oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Cleaning the grill
before and after cooking is recommended.
Recommended cleaning
