몇DANGER
Failure to open lid while igniting the side
burner, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas
to clear if the side burner does not light,
may result in an explosive flame-up which
can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Lighting the Side Burner
The side burner has a separate ignition system from the
main cooking box.
Note - If you own a Genesis 4, the side burner will
operate only when the Front burner is lit, due to the
FlameCheck Safety System. Follow steps for Genesis 4
models.
Genesis 2 and 2000 models (Figure 12):
1) Open the side burner lid.
2) Check that the fuel scale reads more than E.
3) Check that the side burner valve is OFF (push down
and turn clockwise), and all main burner control valves
are OFF (push down and turn clockwise).
4) Turn the LP tank valve ON (turn counterclockwise).
To secure the side burner, follow this instruction. Make
sure both locks have snapped into place.
Secure side burner
Stand to the right side of the barbecue. Slightly pull back
both side burner locks. Slide the side burner toward the
control panel. The locks will snap into the slots in the front
and back of the side burner. Figure 11.
