“FLASHBACK”
may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback exhibits a characteristic “whooshing/jet like”
sound. If this should occur, immediately turn off your burners, then remove and clean them
with soap, water and a brush until all foreign objects are removed.
Before cooking with your appliance for the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid the unit of any odors by
burning the main burners only on HIGH with the lid down for about 10 minutes. When lit, the flame should have a
mostly blue color to it. It may have a tint of yellow and adjustment to the air shutters can be made to obtain a blue

main burner control settings on HIGH for five minutes with the hood closed.
Manually Lighting the Rear Burner (4 + 5 burner grills)
1. Open the hood. Never use the rear burner with the warming rack in place.

6. Wait five minutes until the gas clears before attempting to light it again.
7. If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and consult an authorized
service technician.

c. With the cooking grids and flame tamers removed, light the main burners and run them on the high
setting.
