Operation
Lighting the Rotisserie Burner (Model JA480)
The Rotisserie burner provides the steady, even heat required to cook poultry and roasts to
self-basted perfection.
To start the Rotisserie burner:
1. Always open the Hood completely before attempting to light the Grill.
WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the Grill when preparing to light the Rotisserie
burner, to prevent possible bodily injury.
2. Always confirm that all of the burner control knobs are in the OFF position before opening the gas
supply.
3. Turn on the propane gas supply valve at the tank (1 to 2 turns), or turn on the main natural gas
supply valve.
4. Turn the Rotisserie Burner Control Knob to the HI position, by pushing down on the knob and
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Immediately push the Igniter Button. The Rotisserie burner should light within four seconds.
WARNING: IF THE ROTISSERIE BURNER DOES NOT
LIGHT, to prevent gas buildup, immediately turn the burner
control knob to the OFF position. Wait five (5) minutes for
the gas to clear, then repeat steps 1 through 5 above. If the
burner will not light when using the Igniter, follow the
match lighting instructions below.
6. Confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the flame
pattern is proper. For proper flame patterns, refer to Fig.
9a, Fig. 9b and Fig. 9c in the JA460/JA580 User Manual. If
the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the
Troubleshooting Guide for corrective action.
7. Always preheat the Grill before starting to cook on the
rotisserie.
