Lighting Your Grill

Before lighting your grill, be sure you have followed the instructions in this 
Use and Care Guide regarding proper setup, placement, gas connections leak 
testing (see page 13) and safe operation, all of which precede this page.

IMPORTANT: 

 Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present at any time. 

Follow leak testing procedures before using the grill.

Standard Lighting Procedure: 

Main Burners

1. 

Open the grill hood

2. 

Pull open the Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer approximately 2 
inches so that you can easily see inside the flash tube (see 
Figure 12:L page 25).

3. 

Make sure all control knobs are in the OFF position. 

4. 

Turn the main gas supply on.

5. 

Keeping your face well away from the unit, watch the end of the  
flash tube (see Figure 12:L page 25). Press in the 

IGNITION BURNER

control knob (see Figure 18:A page 28) for 2 seconds. You should see  
the electronic ignition coil glowing inside the flash tube. While continuing to  
press in the control knob, turn it to the HIGH position. Ignition should take place within 4 to 5 seconds. 
You will see and hear the flash at the end of the flash tube when the ignition burner ignites. If the 
burner does not light within 4 to 5 seconds, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes for 
the gas to dissipate before trying again. If you do not see the electronic ignition coil glowing inside 
the flash tube, refer to the troubleshooting section of this Use and Care Guide. You can confirm the 
ignition burner is operating by looking down into the grill through the view port. The view ports are 
aligned with holes in the Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawers.

6. 

To light any 

MAIN BURNER

 (see Figure 11:J page 25),

 first make sure the ignition burner is lit

 (see 

Figure 11:K page 25) and the IGNITION BURNER control knob is at the HIGH position. Open the grill 
hood. Turn any MAIN BURNER control knob to the HIGH position. Ignition should take place within 4 
to 5 seconds. Watch through the grilling surface and Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer to confirm the MAIN 
BURNER is lit. If the burner does not light within this time, turn the MAIN BURNER control knob to the OFF 
position and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before trying again. Each MAIN BURNER must be lit 
from the IGNITION BURNER.  

No MAIN BURNER will light unless the IGNITION burner is burning.

18:C page 28) for 2 seconds. You should see the electronic ignition coil glowing in front of the rotisserie 
burner. While continuing to press in the control knob, turn it to the HIGH position. Ignition should take 
place within 4 to 5 seconds. If the burner does not light within 4 to 5 seconds, turn the knob to the OFF 
position and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before trying again. If you do not see the  
electronic ignition coil glowing, refer to the troubleshooting section of this Use and Care Guide.
