2 Operation
2.1 Lighting the Burner(s)
Your barbecue is equipped with two gas control valves with
built-in ignitors. Each valve is operated with its own knob on
the face. The knobs are labeled “OFF” at the twelve o’clock
position, “HIGH” at the three o’clock position and “LOW” at the
six o’clock position.
The gas control knob is operated by depressing the knob and
turning towards the “HIGH” position. It is important to depress
before turning the knob. The knob can be damaged by turning
it without first depressing it. Turning the knob towards the
“HIGH” position will start the gas to flow to the burner. When
the knob reaches the “HIGH” position, the built-in ignitor will
generate a spark (making a snapping sound), and the spark
will light the gas. After the knob is in the “HIGH” position, the
knob can be turned freely between “HIGH” and “LOW”. To
shut the gas off, depress the knob while it is in the “HIGH”
position, and turn to the “OFF” position. Again, it is important
to depress the knob before turning to avoid damaging the knob.
2.1.1 To light the burner
Depress the knob in the “OFF” position, and slowly turn the knob towards the “HIGH” position. It is helpful allow the
gas a little time to flow from the valve to the burner before reaching the “HIGH” position. When the knob reaches the
“HIGH” position, the built-in ignitor will generate a spark (making a snapping sound), and the spark will light the gas.
If the burner does not light, turn off the gas. Allow any gas to dissipate for a few minutes. Repeat this lighting
procedure. If the unit still does not light, use the troubleshooting section on lighting. If you have determined that the
ignitor is not functioning, you may use a match for lighting until you have a chance to clean ignitor or replace the
valve.
2.1.2 To light the burner with a match
Strike the match first. Drop the lit match into the unit, close to the burner’s edge. Make sure the match stays lit,
and turn the knob to the “HIGH” position. The burner should light within 5 seconds of turning on the gas. If the
burner does not light, turn off the gas. Use the troubleshooting section to check for an obstruction in your gas
supply. If you still cannot light the burner, please contact us for help.
2.2 Adjusting the Flame
The highest flame setting is with the gas control knob set at the “HIGH” position. To adjust to a lower flame, depress
the gas control knob and turn counterclockwise. The lowest flame setting is at the “LOW” position. The flame will
adjust between these two settings.
To turn off the flame, depress the gas control knob and turn clockwise to the “OFF” position.
CAUTION: Do not leave your barbecue equipment unattended after the burner has been lit.
Most fires and accidents occur when the unit has been left unattended while the flame is burning.
