Prepare the Gas Supply
1. Open the hood completely. Do not light burners with the hood
closed.
2. Make sure control knobs are turned to OFF. The drip pan
must be in place and pushed all the way to the back.
Turn the Gas Supply On
1. For freestanding outdoor grills using a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank:
Slowly open the tank valve.
NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not
light. If your grill does light, the flames will be low and will not
heat properly. Turn tank valve and all control knobs off and
wait 30 seconds. After shutting off the tank, very slowly open
tank valve and wait 5 seconds before lighting.
2. For outdoor grills using gas supply source other than a 20 lb
LP gas fuel tank:
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
Lighting the Grill and Infrared Sear Burners
1. Do not lean over the grill.
2. Select the burner you want to light. Push in and turn the grill
burner control knob to LITE/HI, while continuing to hold it in.
3. You will hear the “snapping” sound of the spark. When burner
is lit, release the knob. Turn knob to desired setting.
4. Repeat for each of the other burners as needed.
IMPORTANT: If burner does not light immediately, turn the
burner knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Manually Lighting Main Grill and Infrared Sear Burners
1. Do not lean over the grill.
2. Remove the manual lighting extension (see following
illustration) and attach a match to the split ring.
3. Strike the match to light it.
4. Guide the lit match between the grill grate and one of the
slots in the sear plate.
5. Push in and turn the burner knob to LITE/HI for the burner
closest to the lit match. The burner will light immediately.
When burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each main burner.
7. Remove match and replace manual lighting extension inside
the cabinet door.
IMPORTANT:
If burner does not light immediately, turn the burner knob to OFF
and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
If any burners do not light after attempting to light them manually,
contact the KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center. See the
“Assistance or Service” section.
