Lighting Procedure

1. Open the grill hood completely. Do not attempt to light the grill with the hood closed.
2. Open the gas supply shut-off valve.
3. Push in the burner control knob and verify that the hot surface ignitor glows.
   • The hot surface ignitors are found below the burner grates inside the flash tubes.
   • The rotisserie ignitor is found on the rear panel next to the rotisserie burner.
4. Once the glow is verified, push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the HI position.
5. Hold the knob in for 5 seconds until flame is visible, then release the knob.
   • If burner fails to light within 5 seconds, release the knob and refer to troubleshooting below.
   • Depending on which burner you are attempting to light, a flame will be visible under the briquettes or on the rotisserie or sear burner.
   • There may be a popping sound when the burners are first lit, this is normal.
6. Close the hood and allow the grill to preheat until the desired temperature is shown on the thermometer.
   

If the burner fails to light within 5 seconds:

1. Turn knob to the OFF position.
2. Wait 5 minutes for air to clear.
3. Repeat the lighting procedure.

If an Outdoor Gas Grill (OG) or BBQ Grill continues to not light within approximately 10 seconds, turn the knob off and refer to Outdoor Grill Ignition Troubleshooting. 

Lighting a Grill Without Power

If no electrical supply is available or if the hot surface ignitor will not light the grill burners, the burners can be lit manually using a long lit match or BBQ lighter.

1. Open the grill hood completely. Do not attempt to light the grill with the hood closed.
2. Open the gas supply shut-off valve.
3. Push in and turn the burner knob counterclockwise to the HI position.
4. Hold the knob in for 5 seconds.
5. Insert a lit match held by the lanyard (found in the drip tray) or BBQ lighter through the burner grates and near the top of the flash tube. A flame will be visible under the briquettes.
6. Once the flame is visible, release the knob.
7. If the burner fails to light within 5 seconds, turn knob to the OFF position, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
