SIDE BURNER LIGHTING (MODELS ALX2-56 & 56 SZ): 
When lighting, always keep your face and body as far away as possible from the burners. 
FRONT BURNER: Push and turn the side burner right hand control knob to the “HI” position and imme-
diately depress the right hand igniter button. You’ll hear a snapping sound from spark that will be pro-
vided to both side burners. 
It is necessary to keep the igniter button depressed until the burner is lit. 
REAR BURNER: Repeat the same operation as explained on the front burner but using the side burner 
left hand control knob this time. 
If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to allow any accumu-
lated gas to dissipate before trying again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, then it can be 
lit with a match 
NOTE:To ensure proper spark ignition, do not change gap between the electrode wires and the burners. 
The optimum gap is preset at the factory between 1/8” and 3/16.” Replace 9 VDC igniter batteries at the 
first sign of spark weakness. 30” grills require one battery, all others require two. See page 6 for battery 
replacement instructions. 
ROTISSERIE BURNER LIGHTING: 
Open the lid, press the proper igniter button (see chart above) and then turn the control knob to the “HI” 
position. If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the control knob to “Off”, wait five minutes and 
attempt to relight. If the igniter does not function, you can light the burner by holding a lit match to the 
burner (with the control knob at the “HI” position). 
After your first use of the rotisserie burner it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent and directly above 
the  burner  will  darken  to  a  dark  blue  color.  This  is  a  normal  property  of  the  non-rusting,  type  304 
stainless steel used on the Grill and is not detrimental to its operation. 
PREHEATING THE GRILL (U-BURNERS): 
Preheating  the  grill  is  important  for  best  performance.  To  preheat  the  grill  when  cooking  with  the  U-
burners, close the hood after lighting the burners as described above. Set the grill control knobs on “HI” 
for 15 minutes, or allow 20-25 minutes for a very high grill temperature. 
PREHEATING THE GRILL (IR-BURNERS): 
Preheating the IR burners is important to protect them from food drippings. After lighting the IR burners 
as described above, allow to preheat on “HI” for four minutes before beginning to grill. 
If your grill is equipped with a SEAR-ZONE™ IR BURNER, light and preheat the U-BURNERS first, then 
light and preheat the SEAR-ZONE™ IR BURNER. 
PREHEATING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER: 
Light  the  rotisserie  burner  as  described  in  the  lighting  instructions.  Once  lit,  the  rotisserie  burner  will 
reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.
