Crossover Ignition Operations
If the Crossover Ignition fails to ignite the Front burner,
light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner
lights with a match, then check out the Crossover Ignition
System.
■ Check that both the white and black ignition wires
are attached properly.
■ Check that the Crossover Ignition button pushes
the igniter (button) down, and returns to the up
position.
■ Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame.
Tighten if necessary.
If the Crossover Ignition System still fails to light the
Front burner, use matches to light the Weber Gas
Barbecue manually, so that you can use your Weber Gas
Barbecue, and call Weber-Stephen Products Co.,
Customer Service Center for further instructions at (800)
446-1071.
