Lighting Your Grill by Match
To light your gas grill by match, open the hood and light a
match. Turn the Right Main Burner Control Knob to the High
setting to release the gas while holding the lit match over the
lighting tube as shown in
Figure 41
. The burner should light
within 5 seconds. If it fails to light, turn the valve off and wait
5 minutes before attempting to manually light the burner
again.
Occasionally observe the burner flame for correct operation.
Once the left main burner is alight, the adjacent burner can
be turned on and it will cross light off the operating burner.
Repeat for each burner in turn.

grill. Keep your face and body a safe distance (at least 18
inches) from the lighting hole or burners.

1.
