you wish to light.
2. Turn all gas control knobs to their OFF
positions.
Note: No matter which lighting method you use,
DO NOT turn on the gas to more than
one burner at a time. Adjacent barbecue
burners will cross-ignite.

to the desired cooking time.
CAUTION: If the burners do not light within 5
seconds, depress the control knob

MINUTES before repeating step
5. If the burners still do not light
after several attempts, refer to the
instructions for manual lighting.

lit and turn it to the HI LIGHT position, then
press the ignition button. Once the burner lights,
release the ignition button.

a better air/gas mixture and will ignite
more quickly if the burner control knob is
fi rst turned beyond HI LIGHT to LOW for
lighting.
MANUAL LIGHTING
CAUTION: Always wait 5 minutes for gas to
clear after any unsuccessful lighting
attempt.
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 (left).

by a wire extension holder (Fig. 11-2) through
the cooking grids to the burner. (Fig. 11-3).
For backburners, hold the flame against
the perforated material of the backburner.
For sideburners, hold the fl ame against the
burner.
3. While holding the match or lighter fl ame next
to the burner, depress the appropriate burner
control knob and turn it counterclockwise to
the HI LIGHT position. When the burner lights,
remove the lighter or match.
4. If the burner does not light, IMMEDIATELY
depress the knob and turn the burner control
knob to OFF. WAIT 5 MINUTES before

Read entire instructions before lighting.
Follow the instructions each time you light your American Outdoor Grill Barbecue.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME
The large knobs on the face of the barbecue control the
valves and adjust fl ame height. The fi rst labeled position
is OFF, the second HI LIGHT, and the third LOW. In
between the HI LIGHT and LOW labels are mid point
marks. Flame height can be set anywhere between the
HI LIGHT and LOW settings for all cooking requirements
and methods.
The height of the fl ame with a valve in low position
may be further regulated by means of a small adjusting
screw in the center of the valve stem. This screw is
accessible by removing the plastic valve knob which
pulls straight off the end of the valve stem.
