Yes, you paid a lot of money for your grill, but even an expensive grill doesn't clean
and maintain itself, and you want it to look good and function properly. That's why this
section of your manual is so important. This section gives you the information necessary
to help you keep your grill looking new and working properly. Reading and following the
instructions in this section will make your grill investment pay off for many years.

It is recommended that every 90 days the following maintenance procedure is followed,
but it is absolutely necessary to perform this maintenance at least once a year. By doing
so you will extend the life of your gas grill.

Use a non-abrasive sponge or towel with a solution of warm water and liquid detergent
to remove any grease build-up.
chEcK and cUrE
Be sure that there is gas flow to the burners by attempting to match light your
burners. If match lighting is successful, the problem lies somewhere in the ignition
system and will need to be checked.
m caUtioN: always turn the gas supply off at the main gas
cut off before proceeding with any troubleshooting proce-
dures.
If, for any reason, the snap ignition fails to ignite the main grilling burner(s), repeat
the lighting procedures described on the grill control panel.
m WarNiNG: the hood must be in the full open position any
time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the
hood could lead to delayed ignition resulting in bodily
harm.
After shutting off the main gas supply, remove the cook grate and heat distribution
plates. Turn snap igniter counter clockwise and check if the electrode is sparking to
the igniter tube. Try the snap igniter several times.
Does burner light with a match?
Check to be sure burner ports, shutter, end of the burner (venturi) and orifice(s) are
free of any obstructions. Also, if your grill has been stored over a prolonged period
of time, check to make sure no spiderwebs have been formed in the shutter end of
the burner (venturi) or over orifices.
If the main burner(s) still fails to ignite,
make sure that there is gas flowing to the
burner(s) by attempting to match light the
burner(s). If the burners will match light,
then proceed with the ignition checkout.
If for any reason the igniter system is
still inoperative, follow match lighting
instructions.
If match lights burner, check igniter (see
Sideburner Maintenance).
If you still have a poor flame, please
contact dealer for futher assistance or call
