Using a Match to Determine if there is
Gas Flow to the Burners
1) Open the grill lid.
2) Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off
position. Check by pushing in and turning
knobs clockwise.
Note: It is important that all burner control knobs be
in the off
position before you turn on the LP tank.
If they are not, the flow limiting device built into the
regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from
the LP tank.
3) Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve
counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds.
Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on
slowly. If it is opened too quickly, the flow limiting
device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the
flow of gas from the LP tank.
4) Begin with burner 1, furthest to the left. Put
match in the matchstick holder and strike match.
(Matchstick holder is located under left side
table.) Insert lit match down through the cooking
grates, past the FLAVORIZER BARS and next to the
burner (A).
5) Push the burner control knob in and turn it
counterclockwise to the start/high
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through
the cooking grates and through the cutout in the
FLAVORIZER BARS.
7) If the burner does not ignite within 4 seconds,
turn burner control knob to the off
wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before
attempting to light the burner again. If repeated
attempts fail, follow the gas flow troubleshooting
instructions on the next page.
8) If the burner ignites, the problem lies in the ignition
system. Follow the instructions for "Checking the
Components of the Electronic Ignition System."
9) After burner 1 ignites, you can turn on burner 2
(and burner 3).
10) Replace the matchstick holder by hanging
underneath left side table (B).

Checking the Components of the
Electronic Ignition System
When pressing the ignition button you should hear a
ticking sound. If you cannot hear the ticking sound,
check the battery, then check the wires.
Checking the Battery
There are three potential issues with the battery that
supplies the power to your ignition module that need
to be checked:
1) Some batteries have a plastic protective wrap
around them. (Do not confuse this plastic with
the battery label.) Check that this plastic wrap is
removed.
2) Confirm that the battery is installed correctly (C).
3) If the battery is old, replace it with a new battery.
Checking the Wires
There are two potential trouble spots that need to be
checked:
1) Check that the ignition wires are connected
securely to the terminals on the ignition button
under the control panel.
2) Make sure the ignition wires are properly attached
to the ignition module. The wire terminals are color

coded to correspond with the terminals on the
ignition module. The number of wires will vary per
model.
