1. If you have already attempted to light the burner using the control knob, wait 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate.

2. Insert a match into the light rod, ignite the match and insert through the cooking grid to the burner.

3. Push and turn the control knob to HIGH slowly, the burner should ignite immediately.

4. If the burner does not light within seconds, turn the control knob OFF and wait 5 minutes then try again.

Stainless Steel:

Use the mildest cleaning process first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit sand paper in the direction of the grain. For grease specks, use an abrasive pad with stainless steel cleaner. Stainless steel can rust if not well maintained. The color of the stainless steel will change after burning; this is normal.

Cooking Grid:

The easiest way to clean the grid is immediately after cooking is finished and the burner flame is OFF. Wear a barbecue mitt. Scrub the hot cooking grid by dipping a bristled barbecue brush in tap water.

Grease Pan:

The grease pan should be emptied and washed after each use with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Check the grease pan frequently and do not allow excess grease to accumulate.

Grill Burner:

Before cleaning, ensure the gas is OFF and the burner is cool. Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a fire. To clean the burner:

1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a metal scraper for stubborn stains or debris.

2. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick.

3. Check and clean the burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire.
