CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the burner.
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tube obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube.
This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even
cause injury.
Lighting Instructions
Important! Remove or raise lid to open position.
Attempting to light burner with lid closed may cause an
explosion. Do not expose any part of your body or clothing
directly above cooking area when lighting.
1. From beneath the grill, place lighted wooden match up
through lighter/ventilation hole in center of bottom.
2. While holding match in place, turn control knob to lighting
position. Grill will ignite.
3. Observe burner flames through openings in heat distribution
plate. Make sure burner ignites and stays lit on both sides.
4. Preheat grill for 6 minutes with lid closed. Using control
knob on Regulator/Valve, adjust flame to desired height for
cooking.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
burner tube should be removed from the grill and cleaned before
use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner will not light.

CAUTION
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner control OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with
the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
