  Operating the Grill 

GXL-45 Operator Manual 

Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any 

heated surfaces and dripping grease. 
Use barbecue tools with wood handles and insulated grill mitts when 

operating the grill. 
The use of accessories, regulators, or components not recommended 

by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries and will void 

warranties. 
Open the LP gas cylinder compartment door to inspect the gas supply 

hose before each use of the grill. If there is evidence of abrasion or 

wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before putting the grill 

into operation. Refer to the 

Liquid Petroleum Gas

 section on page 26.  

 

Normal Lighting 

Prior to lighting your grill for the first time, verify that all of the following are complete and correct: 

 All packaging has been removed 

 Burner tubes are free of insects and insect nests, webs, etc. 

 Proper gas supply and regulator type are in place 

 The gas connection is complete, securely tightened, and leak tested (see 

Leak Test

 on page 27) 

 All parts and components are properly in place 

 Manual gas shut-off valve is fully accessible 

 The LP gas hose is clean and free of cuts, wear, abrasion, or leaks. Replace if necessary with a suitable UL, 

ETL, or CSA Listed part with 3/8” internally threaded connector

 

 
Follow these steps to light the burners, starting with the far-right burner:

 

 

1.

 

Open the gas supply valve 

2.

 

Open the hood 

3.

 

Keep your face as far away from the burners as possible 

4.

 

Push the far-right knob in, hold for 2-3 seconds for the gas to start 

flowing, then rotate the burner knob counterclockwise to the HI 

position  

5.

 

You will hear a loud click as the lighter produces a spark  

6.

 

Look and listen for the sound of the gas igniting; if the burner does not light on the first try, repeat 

immediately 

7.

 

If the burner does not light on the second try, push in the burner knob and rotate to OFF: 

a.

 

Open all access doors and drawers, and keep the grill hood open 

b.

 

Wait five minutes until the gas clears before attempting to light it again
