BURNER IGNITION & USAGE
BURNER IGNITION
Electronic Ignition System
The electronic ignition system ignites the burner with a
spark from the igniter electrode inside the Gas Catcher™
ignition chamber. You generate the energy for the spark
by pushing the igniter button. You will hear the igniter
clicking.
A) Open the grill lid (1).
m DANGER
Failure to open the lid before igniting the
grill's burners, or not waiting five minutes
to allow the gas to clear if the grill does
not light, may result in an explosive flare-
up which can cause serious bodily injury
or death.
B) Make sure ALL burner control knobs are turned
off (2). Check by pushing burner control knobs in and
turning them clockwise until they stop.
m WARNING: The burner control knobs
must be in the off ( ) position before you
turn on the LP tank valve. If they are not
in the off ( ) position when you turn on
the LP tank valve, the "excess gas flow
control" feature will activate, limiting
the flow of gas from the LP tank. If this
should occur, turn off the LP tank valve
and burner control knobs. Start over.
m DANGER
When the "excess gas flow control" feature
is activated, a small amount of gas is still
flowing to the burners. After turning off the
LP tank valve and burner control knobs,
wait at least five minutes for the gas to clear
before attempting to light the grill. Failure
to do so may result in an explosive flare-up,
which can cause serious bodily injury or
death.
C) Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve
counterclockwise (3).
D) Light the outside burner by pushing the large burner
control knob in and turning it counterclockwise to
start/high ( ) position (4).
E) Push and hold in the igniter button (5). You will hear
the igniter clicking.
F) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the
cooking grates. You should see a flame.
m WARNING: While igniting the grill or
cooking, never lean over open grill.
m WARNING: If the burner fails to ignite
within five seconds, stop, turn the burner
control knob to off and wait five minutes
to allow the gas to clear before you try
again or light with a match.
G) After the outside burner is lit, you can turn on the
inside burner. Push in the small burner control knob
and turn it to start/high ( ) position (6). The inside
burner will then be ignited by the outside burner.
TO EXTINGUISH BURNER
Push each burner control knob in and turn it clockwise to
the off ( ) position. Turn gas supply off at the source.
