BEFORE EACH USE
Before any use, always make sure that:
• ... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you 
do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified 
plumber check for leaks.
• … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, 
besides your food, that might ignite. 
• … the control knobs turn freely.
• … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is 
securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX: 
“Cylinder Requirements” for details.)
• … you know where the main gas supply shut-off is 
located.
• … the burners are seated properly in the grill. The main 
burners must sit level and firmly on the burner mounting 
support frame. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” for 
further details.)
• … wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the 
back of grill.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
1.  Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2.  Always keep the lid open when lighting your grill.
3.  Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage, personal 
injury or death.
4.  Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner doesn’t light within 
5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5.  YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE THE GRILL IS LIT.
WARNING
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST ...continued 
ELECTRIC IGNITION
Before proceeding, make sure you have completed the 
“Before Each Use” checklist. 
Follow these steps to light any of the burners on your grill: 
First, make sure all burner control knobs are set to OFF. 
For the Main Ceramic 
Burner or Trident ™ 
Burner:
Push and hold the control 
knob in for 5-7 seconds, 
allowing the igniter to heat 
up. Then rotate the knob 
to “LITE”. After ignition, 
set the knob to the desired 
heat setting.
For the Rotisserie Burner:
The rotisserie burner features a thermocouple sensor with 
a safety valve that automatically shuts off the flow of gas if 
the burner goes out. (See INDEX: “Windy Conditions” for 
tips on how to prevent burner blow out) 
To light the rotisserie burner, push and hold the control 
knob in for 5-7seconds and then turn the knob to the 
“LITE” position. 
After ignition CONTINUE HOLDING THE CONTROL KNOB 
IN for 30 to 60 seconds. During this time the thermocouple 
will heat up and the safety valve will remain open.
If you release the control knob before the thermocouple 
has heated up, the safety valve will shut off the flow of gas 
to the rotisserie burner and you will have to re-light the 
burner.
