|CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the
burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy
area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves
while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate sur-
rounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while
grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and oper-
ating the grill. Always open the grill lid slowly to allow
heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the
grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting
will not make it light sooner or more efficiently. It will
only risk explosion and personal injury or death. Never
lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill
when attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure
build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans.
This will alter the airflow or trap excessive heat in the
control area and can melt control knobs and ignition
modules. Such damage is specifically excluded from
your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare
ups. Internal fires or damage caused by them or by the
grill being left unattended while cooking are not cov-
ered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure
the drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of the
grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a fire
or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool
down before attempting to handle or dispose of it.
The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular
basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been per-
formed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: “Leak Test
Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load
weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during opera-
tion, turn off all gas control knobs, open the hood and
wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve
on the L.P. cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis,
valves and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas flow.
This very dangerous condition can cause a fire be-
hind the control panel, damaging the grill and risking
personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long
time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves
and orifices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
GRILL.

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION |

Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen rang-
es. That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods.
These high-performance burners require a constant, steady
supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx grill pulls air
in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear.
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-
to-back air flow. If, while grilling with all burners on high
and the hood closed, you notice that the temperature
gauge fails to rise ... be careful. If wind has kept hot gases
from exiting the rear of the grill the control panel and knobs
may have become extremely hot.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending Heat
Stabilizer that will deflect wind and, in most cases, prevent
this situation.
But there are a few things you can do to further prevent
the possibility of improper heat buildup:
•On breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood
down for more than 15 minutes when the burners are on
high. (Never leave the grill unattended when in operation)
•If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt,
open the front hood. Then adjust the burner control knob
to a lower setting.
•Install your grill with a wind break behind it.
•Orient the grill so prevailing winds are not blowing into
the rear of the grill.
Please Note: Any damage caused from use in windy con-
ditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or control
panel discoloration from heat buildup, is excluded from
warranty coverage.
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
Wind hitting the back of the grill can
disrupt proper exhaust.
Air enters through the front of the grill.

10
|CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider
before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
•All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed
from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly”
for further details.)
•You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas Require-
ments” for further details.)
•You have electric connected. (See INDEX: “Electric Re-
quirements” for further details.)
•A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fittings that supply fuel to your grill.
•IF YOUR GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS
you may need to purge the line. (See INDEX: “Purging
the Gas Line”
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifices
and valves for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill
and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the grill and
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
USING YOUR LYNX GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and low, controlled
heat for slow cooking.
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting
with the lid open.
On the other hand, large, thick pieces of meat or poultry
are often first seared at the high setting and then grilled at
a lower setting ... sometimes with the lid closed … achiev-
ing the best results in the middle of the food without burn-
ing the outside.
Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using
indirect heat.
Your Lynx grill features a variety of professional-level burn-
ers and tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking chal-
lenges. We will reveal how these features work for you. So
please read and enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your Lynx grill may be
equipped with up to three different burner types. The op-
eration of each type varies, so it is important to understand
all three.
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
Main Brass Burner
This heavy-duty, durable
brass burner is the stan-
dard main burner found
under the briquette trays.
ProSear™ 2 Burner
This advanced infrared
burner provides high-
intensity infrared heat

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION |
11
BEFORE EACH USE
Before any use, always make sure that:
•... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you
do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified
plumber check for leaks.
•… the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles,
besides your food, that might ignite.
•… the control knobs turn freely.
•… if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it
is securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX:
“Cylinder Retention Instructions” for details.)
•… you know where the main gas supply shut-off is
located.
•… the burners are seated properly in the grill. The main
burners must sit level and firmly on the burner mounting
support frame. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” for
further details.)
•… wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the
back of grill.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
1. Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2. Always keep the lid open (side-burner lids must be completely removed) when lighting your grill.
3. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage, personal
injury or death.
4. Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner doesn’t light within
5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5. YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
WARNING
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST ...continued
ELECTRIC IGNITION
Before proceeding, make sure you have completed the
“Before Each Use” checklist.
Follow these steps to light any of the burners on your grill:
First, make sure all burner control knobs are set to OFF.
For the Main Brass
Burner or ProSear™ 2
Burner:
Push and hold the control
knob in for 2 seconds, al-
lowing the igniter to heat
up. Then rotate the knob
to “LITE”. After ignition,
set the knob to the desired
heat setting.
For the Rotisserie Burner:
The rotisserie burner features a thermocouple sensor with
a safety valve that automatically shuts off the flow of gas if
the burner goes out. (See INDEX: “Windy Conditions” for
tips on how to prevent burner blow out)
To light the rotisserie burner, push and hold the control
knob in for 2 seconds and then turn the knob to the “LITE”
position.
After ignition CONTINUE HOLDING THE CONTROL KNOB
IN for 30 to 60 seconds. During this time the thermocouple
will heat up and the safety valve will remain open.
If you release the control knob before the thermocouple
has heated up, the safety valve will shut off the flow of gas
to the rotisserie burner and you will have to re-light the
burner.

|CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
MANUAL LIGHTING
If a burner doesn’t light after several attempts, it can be
match lit using the lighting rod stored in the drip tray.
Match-lighting your grill is done in one of three ways,
depending upon which burners are being lit.
First, make sure you’ve returned all of the control knobs
to the OFF position and have allowed 5 minutes for any
accumulated gas to dissipate before attempting to match
light a burner.
Manual Lighting Tube
Your grill features individual manual lighting tubes for all
main burners except for the right-most main burners.
Using the lighting rod, place a lit match in front of the
manual lighting tube for the burner you wish to light.
(See photo)
Push and turn the corresponding burner control knob to
“LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the
knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it
again. Once lit, gas will stop flowing through the manual
lighting tube.
Right-Most Main Burner
The right-most main burner does not feature a manual
lighting tube.
To match-light this burner, use the lighting rod to insert a lit
match through the cooking grate into the front slot of the
briquette tray for that burner.
Push and turn the corresponding burner control knob to
“LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the
knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it
again.
ProSear™ 2 Burner
The ProSear™ 2 burner does not feature a manual lighting
tube.
To match-light this burner, use the lighting rod to insert a lit
match through the cooking grate and through the protec-
tive screen.
Push and turn the corresponding burner control knob to
“LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the
knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it
again.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL ...continued
Extremely cold temperatures may cause your
ProSear™ 2 burners to light inside the burners in-
stead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a ‘whoosh-
ing’ sound, immediately turn the burner knobs
off to extinguish the flame and then immediately
re-light the burners.
COLD WEATHER WARNING:
PROPANE

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION |
13
PRE-HEATING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely
important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly
heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking
results.
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the
ProSear™ 2 burner, and setting them to “HI”.
Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to
15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat
temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to
cook your food.
TYPES OF COOKING
The main brass burners and the ProSear™ 2 burner in your
Lynx grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities.
By varying the heat output, the number of burners used
and the position of the hood, you can create either direct
or indirect heat or a combination of both and develop a
wide variety of succulent recipes. There are two basic types
of grilling in an outdoor grill... Direct Heat and Indirect Heat
Direct Heat
Direct heat cooking occurs when foods are placed directly
over the heat source. This form of heat is known as “ra-
diant” heat because the heat radiates directly from the
source to the food.
Direct heat is a must when you want to sear the outside of
your food to seal in flavor. Lynx ProSear™ 2 Burners pro-
vide the heat necessary to sear foods and seal in flavor.
Indirect Heat
Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not close to
the heat source. Heat reaches the food via air movement
within the cooking area. This form of heat is known as “con-
vection” heat.
Indirect, or “convection” cooking is achieved by placing
the food on one side of the grill and igniting burners on the
other side. You leave the burner below the food “OFF”.
You should keep the hood closed as much as possible dur-
ing this type of cooking to maintain even heat around the
food. You regulate the heat by adjusting the burner, using
the hood thermometer to monitor the temperature.
BASIC GRILLING
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED DUR-
ING THE PRE-HEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY TIME
WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
PRE-HEATING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES
MAY OVERHEAT THE GRILL, CAUSING DAM-
AGE TO THE GRILL.
WARNING!

14
|CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
Professional restaurant chefs rely on a different type of heat
... infrared heat ... to create a higher searing temperature
than what standard burners can achieve. So Lynx provides
the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner.
Infrared burners work by focusing the gas flame through a
ceramic element filled with tiny holes.
These holes focus the flame on the surface of the element,
creating an intense heat much higher than that of a
standard brass burner. It allows you to sear your food more
quickly while leaving the inside rare, if desired.
The ProSear™ 2 burner, with its advanced components,
requires particular attention to lighting, usage and cleaning
guidelines. See INDEX: “ProSear™ 2” for further details.
Pre-Heating the ProSear™ 2 Burner
Always preheat the entire grill before cooking to achieve
consistent, successful results. (See INDEX: “Preheating” for
further details.)
If the grill is already hot from cooking you should still pre-
heat the ProSear™ 2 burner for 2-3 minutes, or
until it glows red.
Never place food over a ProSear™ 2 burner before it is fully
pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping
onto a cold ProSear™ 2 burner can clog the tiny ports and
damage the burner.
For the same reason you should minimize water spills
on the ProSear™ 2 burner and should not use water to
control flare-ups. Take special care to minimize dropping
any liquids on the ProSear™ 2 burner while cleaning the
cooking grids.
HOW TO SEAR
Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the food’s
outer surface to absorb smoke and food-born aromas
produced when drippings are vaporized by the burner.
The result is a restaurant-style finish … crisp, flavorful
outside with a tender, juicy inside.
While the brass burners in your grill are capable of producing
searing heat, the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner is specifically
designed for this purpose.
USING THE PROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
Lynx grill cooking grids are heavy duty. Drop-
ping them on the ProSear™ 2 Burner will dam-
age the burner. Such damage is not covered by
the product warranty and will cause a fire, burns
or other personal injury.
PROSEAR™ 2 CLEANING
It’s easy to keep your ProSear™ 2 Burner oper-
ating at peak performance. Just run it on “HI”
with the hood open for 5 minutes after each use
to burn away any food particles or drippings.
Any ash accumulation on the burner screen
can be removed with a light brush (like a paint
brush) or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL THE
BURNER IS COOL!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CARE & USE/INSTALLATION |

Rotisserie cooking
provides an even
delivery of heat
to your foods. It
has no equal. The
constant rotation not only cooks foods evenly, it also self
bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they natu-
rally flow around it as it rotates. And, by moving the burner
out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching flare-ups.
Your foods will be more evenly
cooked, more tender and juicier
when slow-roasted on a Lynx’s
rotisserie.
The Lynx rotisserie system consists of four main parts, the
motor, the skewer, the forks and the infrared burner.
The Motor
Install the motor by sliding it into
one of the slots shown here. Use
the top slot for small foods or fast
cooking and the lower slot for
large foods and slower cooking.
Plug the motor power cord into the
motor and into the built-in power
outlet on the rear left panel. Your
grill must be plugged into an AC
power supply for the rotisserie to work.
Place a basting pan in the grill to prevent food accumula-
tions on the briquettes and burners. But BE SURE YOU
REMOVE IT before using any of the other burners.
The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more suscep-
tible to strong wind conditions (more so than the main grill
burners).
For this reason it features a safety valve that automatically
closes any time the rotisserie burner is not properly lit …
like if it were to extinguish in windy conditions. During
windy conditions, it’s best to keep the lid closed and to
periodically check the burner.
When the rotisserie is not in use the rotisserie motor should
be stored in a cool dry location.
The Skewer & Forks
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. You
should prepare any item and first mount it on the skewer.
Swing the warming rack up and out of the way. It will rest in
place.
Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the rotis-
serie infrared burner. Lighting the burner first could result
in burning your hands while trying to mount the skewer on
the grill.
It’s okay to remove the grill racks and even the briquette
trays to make room for large foods on the skewer.
To load the skewer, slide one of the forks onto the skewer.
Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide
the second fork onto the skewer. Center the food to be
cooked on the skewer then push the forks firmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use pliers if necessary). You
should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings)
with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
With the food secured to the skewer slowly roll the skewer
in the palms of your hands to check for balance. It should
rotate smoothly. If you find it has a heavy side, adjust where
the skewer pierces the meat. An unbalanced skewer will
cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It’s normal for
the skewer to flex with large foods.

The smoker box is designed with special draft and flow
through for maximum smoke. It is constructed of 304 Heavy
Gauge Stainless Steel for years of use.
The Lynx Smoker box can be used with smoker pellets
or wood chips. Whether using wood chips or pellets, we
recommend using approximately 3 oz. of either material.
There is no need for presoaking, just fill the smoker box.
Now use the handle to place
the smoker box directly on
the hot grates. Don’t forget
to remove the smoker handle
before closing the grill lid.
Smoke occurs at approximately
575 degrees F. at the grilling
surface. Set the burner knob to medium/medium low to
achieve this temperature. Use the handle to move or refill
the smoker box. Control the smoking by adjusting the heat
and being careful not to adjust it too high.
For best results keep the lid closed. The best absorption
of smoke flavor occurs early in the cooking process. When
finished with smoking, allow the smoker box to cool and
dispose of remnants.
Slide the pointed end of the skewer into the motor and rest
the other end on the rollers on the other side of the grill.
The notched portion of the skewer must rest on the rollers
for proper operation.
The Rotisserie Burner
To light the rotisserie infrared burner, first mount the skew-
ered food item on the grill then follow the rotisserie lighting
procedure. (See INDEX: “Rotisserie Burner, Lighting” for
further details.)
Once lit, the rotisserie burner should reach cooking tem-
peratures in about 1 minute. It will glow evenly across its
surface in about 5 minutes.
NOTE: The grill thermometer should not be used for rotis-
serie cooking. It is not designed to read direct infrared
heat.
If the burner will not stay lit when you release the control
knob, re-light it and hold the control knob in for at least 60
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
If, after holding the control knob in for at least 60 seconds,
the burner still will not stay lit when releasing the control
knob, call for service.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining service from Lynx” for further
details.)

STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance.
We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stain-
less steel and applying exacting workmanship.
In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life
of the grill it is important to take the following steps:
•After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to re-
move grease and splatters.
•Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the
grates and burners clean and ready for use.
•Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner to
clean and polish the exterior surfaces.
Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount
of effort required.
Part of the appeal of your Lynx Grill is the fine grain finish.
When removing stubborn stains:
•Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direc-
tion of the grain.
•Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on
your Lynx Grill.
•Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing
in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather
in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the sur-
face, giving the appearance of rust.
To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit
non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunc-
tion with a stainless steel cleaner.
•Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can
be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel. En-
sure your Lynx products are well protected before you
allow the use of such chemicals near your grill.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of
a Lynx Grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the
air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause
surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left
on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
•Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp
cloth. (Micro fiber cloths such as Ecloth perform very
well).
•Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do
not cover a damp grill.
•In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which
leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill. Prod-
ucts that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors
(VpCI™) protect the surface very well.
•For seasonal storage use the product referred to above,
ensure the grill is dry and then cover and secure the
cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the
surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES
PROTECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH OF PARTS THAT
RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT
COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE
TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
After your first use certain areas of the grill may discolor
from the intense heat given off by the burners - this is nor-
mal and cannot be cleaned off.
For light and heavy food stains there are many different
stainless steel cleaners available.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the
grill is completely cool, remove the drip tray by pulling it
out until it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip
tray comes free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning
product and re-install. When using an oven-style clean-
ing product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Many of these cleaners are toxic and can dam-
age the stainless steel finish if not used properly.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncov-
ered, you may need to remove the drip tray drain plug to
drain the water from the tray. The drain plug can be re-
moved with a flat-head screwdriver.

|CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
GRILLING RACKS
The easiest way to clean the grill racks is to do so immedi-
ately after turning off the burners, while they are still hot.
Wearing a long BBQ mitt to protect your hand from steam,
dip a brass bristle brush in hot water and scrub the grill
rack. Dip the brush frequently because the steam helps
remove baked-on foods.
CERAMIC BRIQUETTES
The ceramic briquettes normally burn off any accumulated
food drippings. But you may occasionally experience larger
spills that don’t burn off under normal use.
When this happens, let the grill cool completely. Remove
the racks and then the briquette trays by lifting the front
edge and pulling them toward you.
Flip the trays over and put them
back in place over the burner. Light
the burners and set them to “HI”
for 5 - 10 minutes to burn the bri-
quettes clean. Any remaining food
items can be brushed off using a
soft brush.
Be sure the trays have completely
cooled before reinstalling them.
Replacement briquette trays can be ordered from Lynx or
from your dealer.
MAIN BRASS BURNERS
Make sure the grill is completely cool before proceeding.
Ensure that the gas supply is off and all control knobs are in
the “OFF” position.
To Remove Brass Burners:
Remove the grill racks and briquette trays.
Lift the burner up until the legs exit the frame.
Then pull to the rear of the grill so the burner head comes
off the brass orifice at the front.
Angle the burner sideways and lift it out.
Be careful not to change the air shutter position.
To Clean the Brass Burner:
To maximize grill performance, clean the exterior of the
burner with a wire brush. Remove stubborn scale with a
metal scraper.
Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog
the port.
Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not
blocked. If obstructions can be seen, clean it with a paper
clip or a pipe cleaner.

PROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
It’s easy to keep your ProSear™ 2 burner operating at peak
performance. Just run it on “HI” with the hood open for 5
minutes after each use to burn away any food particles or
drippings.
Any ash accumulation on the burner screen can be re-
moved with a light brush or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL
THE BURNER IS COOL!
Every 3 to 6 months, remove the burner and inspect the
venturi (inlet) and orifice to ensure that they’re free of ob-
structions.
Food debris on the inside of the burner can be gently
shaken out. Do not touch the ceramic surface.
When re-installing the ProSear™ 2 burner, be sure to
correctly position the burner.

|CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
GRILL WON’T LIGHT
First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning
on the lights, then:
Check The Igniters
Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does not
spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a
control knob is pushed in.
•Ensure that all burner controls are set to OFF.
•Remove the cooking grates and briquette trays.
•Watch an igniter as you push in and hold the correspond-
ing control knob. You will need either a small mirror or
shiny metal object to see the igniter under its cover.
(Be sure you push in the correct control knob and keep
the knob in the “OFF” position).
•Check the remaining igniters. If igniters don’t glow, pro-
ceed with troubleshooting or match-light the burner.
Check The Burners
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the
burners by attempting to match light a burner.
BE CAREFUL! IF THE BURNER FAILS TO IGNITE, WAIT
5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO IGNITE OTHER
BURNERS! (See INDEX: “Match Lighting” for further
details.)
If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check fuel connections for
leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is of
adequate pressure. (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for
further details.)
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may
not be functioning correctly. Call for service.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are
getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the
burner and check it for blockages.
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF
THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
•Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure”
for further details.)
•Check for blockages (See INDEX: “Clean the Brass
Burner” for further details.)
YELLOW FLAMES
A yellow flame on the main burners indicates a lack of air.
But, if the air around the grill is dusty or if heavy grease is
present, some orange tips on the burner flame are normal.
•Adjust The Air Shutter
To adjust for insufficient air, adjust the air shutter. (See
INDEX: “Air Shutter Adjustment” for further details.)
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
No part of the grill should ever be lined with aluminum foil.
Doing so will interfere with airflow and can cause a low heat
condition.
Ensure that you’ve preheated the main burners for at least
10 to 15 minutes with the hood closed and the ProSear™ 2
burner for 3 minutes.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is
out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-
ficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be
used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists:
•Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
•Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
