TO MATCH LIGHT THE GRILL

 

If the burner will not light after several attempts then the 
burner can be match lit.  

Match light extension rod is located on the inside panel of 
the door. 

If you’ve  attempted to light the burner with the igniter, 
allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. 
Keep your face and hands as far away from the grill as 
possible. 

 
Insert a lit match attached to the lighting rod through the 
cooking grids to the burner. 
 
Press the control knob and rotate left to the HIGH/ON 
setting continue to press the knob until the burner ignites. 
Burner should light immediately.  
 
If the burner does not light in 5 seconds turn the knob off, 
wait 5 minutes and try again. 
 
See page 25 for lighting instructions Steps 1-5.  
 

Operating Instructions 

GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL

 

Each main burner is rated at 12,000 Btu/hr. The main 
grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and 
are side ported to minimize blockage from falling 
grease and debris. The igniter knobs are located on 
the lower center portion of the valve panel. Each rotary 
igniter is labeled on the control panel. 

USING THE GRILL

 

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper 
browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HIGH” heat 
setting for the entire cooking time. However, when 
grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be 
necessary to turn the heat to the lower setting after the 
initial browning. This cooks the food through without 
burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or 
foods basted with a sugary marinade may need the 
lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time. 

NOTE: This barbecue unit is designed to grill efficiently 
without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. 
Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers 
positioned above each burner. 

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. 
The more thoroughly  the grill is preheated, the faster 
the meat browns and the darker the grill marks. 

DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE 
COOKING. 

Grill Lighting Instructions

 

WARNING: IMPORTANT! 
BEFORE LIGHTING

 

Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas 
“ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, 
it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill 
if the odor of gas is present. Do not use any other 
hose connection other than the regulator hose 
assembly that came with the unit.

 

Never substitute regulators and hose assembly for 
those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is 
necessary, contact the manufacturer for proper 
replacement. The replacement must be specified in 
the owners manual. 

 

WARNING: Always keep your face and body as 
far away from the burner as possible when 
lighting.

 

TO LIGHT THE MAIN BURNER 

Make sure all knobs are “OFF” then turn on the gas 
supply from the LP gas cylinder. Always keep your 
face and body as far from the grill as possible when 
lighting. 

Your grill has an exclusive patented built-in ignition. 
The igniter is battery operated. To ignite each burner 
simply push and turn the control knobs to the HI 
setting, you will hear gas flow through. Press and 
hold the Ignitor button until burner ignites.
