Lighting the 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 the Main Burner
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 nozzle. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire
beneath the appliance.
1. Open the lid while lighting burners.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Turn on the gas source or tank valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use. Push 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 seconds turn the burner controls to OFF, wait 5
minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
6. To ignite remaining burners, repeat steps 4 and 5 for each burner.
7. Adjust the valve knobs for the required cooking temperature.
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Main Burners
1. Insert a match into the end of the lighting stick. Light the match.
2. Once lit, put the lighting stick through the hole on the grill body to reach the burner
ports. (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 to be used, repeat the steps 2 and 3 until each burner is lit.
4. Adjust the valve knobs for the required 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 the 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 odour 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.

2. Remove the cooking grates and heat plate.
3. Remove the grease cup.
4. Remove the burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and pliers.
5. Lift the burner up and away from the gas valve opening.
6. Clean inlet (venturi tube) of the burner with a small bottle brush or compressed air.
7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.
8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).
9. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall the burner. Make
