Important Safety Instructions  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
• The California Safe Drinking Water and  
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the  
Governor of California to publish a list of  
substances known to the state to cause  
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive  
harm, and requires businesses to warn  
customers of potential exposure to such  
substances.  
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to  
four of these substances, namely benzene,  
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,  
caused primarily by the incomplete  
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.  
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a  
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will  
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure  
to these substances is minimized because this  
is an outdoor unit.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
When using your appliance, follow basic safety • Do not try lighting this appliance without  
precautions, including the following:  
reading the lighting instructions in this guide.  
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed  
and grounded by a qualified technician in  
accordance with the provided installation  
instructions.  
• Read this guide carefully and completely  
before using your cooking center to reduce  
the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.  
Please retain this guide for future reference.  
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your cooking center unless it is  
specifically recommended in this guide.  
All other servicing should be referred  
to a qualified technician.  
• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not  
intended to be installed in or on recreational  
vehicles and/or boats.  
• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or  
around the cooking center at any time. When  
in use, portions of the cooking center get hot  
enough to cause severe burns.  
• Have the installer show you where the gas  
shut-off valve is located so that you know  
where to shut off the gas to the cooking center.  
• Do not store items of interest to children  
around or below the cooking center, in the  
cart or built-in enclosure.  
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a  
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have  
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if  
the connections are not completely tight.  
• Never allow children to crawl inside a cart  
or enclosure.  
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself  
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with  
the burner control in the ON position and for  
your protection it must be done by a qualified  
service technician. Never use an open flame to  
locate a leak.  
• Never let clothing, pot holders or other  
flammable materials come in contact with or  
too close to any grate, burner or hot surface  
until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and  
result in personal injury.  
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up  
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a  
flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan  
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet  
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical  
or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
• This cooking center is for outdoor use only.  
Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,  
Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking  
gas appliances.  
• Check your local building codes for the  
proper method of installation. In the absence  
of local codes, this unit should be installed in  
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code  
No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National  
Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest  
Edition.  
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by  
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by  
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-  
type fire extinguisher.

Important Safety Instructions  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use  
• When using the range-top burners always use  
flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to  
cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it  
heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid  
ignition of clothing. Position handles inward  
away from open edges of the unit to avoid  
burns associated with spillovers. Hold the  
handle of the pan with a pot holder when  
turning or stirring food.  
as described in this guide.  
• Children should not be left alone or  
unattended in an area where the cooking  
center is being used.  
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.  
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should  
never be worn while using this appliance.  
Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable  
and should not be worn while cooking.  
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively  
fatty meats or products which promote  
flare-ups.  
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass  
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for grill use. Unsuitable  
types of materials may break with sudden  
temperature changes. Use only on low or  
medium heat settings according to the  
manufacturer’s directions.  
• Never grill without the drip pan in place and  
pushed all the way to the back of the grill.  
Without it, hot grease could leak downward  
and produce a fire or explosion hazard.  
• Never rotisserie cook without the basting  
pan in place and pushed all the way to the  
back of the grill. Without it, hot grease  
could leak downward and produce a fire  
or explosion hazard.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers as a  
build-up of pressure may cause the container  
to burst.  
• Use a pot holder when opening the roll top  
lid. Open the lid slowly to allow heat and  
steam to escape.  
• Do not leave the cooking center unattended  
while cooking.  
• For proper lighting and performance of the  
burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.  
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot  
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns  
from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky • Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam

burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to  
clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners  
produce noxious fumes or can ignite if  
applied to a hot surface.  
• Never lean over an open grill.  
• Do not operate the cooking center under  
unprotected combustible construction.  
Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not  
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways  
or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for  
outdoor use only.  
• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.  
Be certain you are rotating the igniter labeled  
for the burner you intend on using.  
• When using the grill, do not touch the grill  
rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding  
areas as these areas become extremely hot  
and could cause burns. Keep children away!  
• Do not locate the cooking center where  
the grill exhaust is directed at combustible  
materials, windows (open or closed),  
doorways, etc. The grill vents combustion  
gases and smoke to the back of the appliance.  
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool  
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting  
grease deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean  
the drip pans often. (On some models)  
• Keep the area surrounding the cooking center  
free from combustible materials, trash, or  
combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline  
or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the  
flow of combustion and ventilation air.  
• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip  
pans or grill racks. This can severely upset  
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in  
the control area. The result of this can be  
melted knobs or rotary igniters.

• The 27˝, 36˝ and 48˝ professional grills are  
designed for a single layer of lava rock to  
be spread evenly over the stainless steel  
radiant tray above the grill burners. To avoid  
blocking off the area for the grill burners to  
vent, do not use more than a single layer of  
lava rock. Adding excess rock can damage  
ignition components and knobs and void  
the warranty.  
inspected for the presence of spiders, spider  
webs or other insects. The burner area is a  
common and desired spider haven and can  
present a dangerous condition which can  
damage the cooking center and render it  
unsafe for use. The presence of spiders,  
spider webs or other insects can cause the gas  
to flow from the front of the burner. This is a  
very dangerous condition which can cause a  
fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check  
the cooking center immediately if any of the  
following conditions exist:  
If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure  
that it is cool before attempting to move it.  
If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and  
the LP cylinder stored outside in a well  
ventilated area, out of the reach of children.

unevenly.  
4. The burners make popping noises.  
• Do not use charcoal on the grill.  
• Keep any electrical supply cord, or the  
rotisserie motor away from the heated  
areas of the cooking center.  
• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP  
cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.  
• LP units require an LP tank equipped  
with a type 1 connector and an over-fill  
protection device. If you use a tank  
exchange system, be sure to exchange this  
tank for a similarly equipped tank.  
• Never use the cooking center in windy  
conditions. If located in a consistently windy  
area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind  
break will be required. Always adhere to  
the specified clearances listed in the  
installation instructions.  
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to  
at least an INTERNAL 160°F. and poultry  
to at least an INTERNAL 180°F. Cooking  
to these temperatures usually protects  
against foodborne illness.  
• The 24˝ professional grill is designed for  
single rows of ceramic briquettes to be  
placed in the stainless steel radiant trays  
above the grill burners. To avoid blocking  
off the area for the grill burners to vent, do  
not place the ceramic briquettes over the  
holes in the stainless steel radiant trays.  
Placing the ceramic briquettes over the  
holes in the stainless steel radiant trays can  
damage ignition components and knobs  
and void the warranty.

The Grill  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
The grill section consists of a large cast iron  
burner or burners (depending on model), a  
series of stainless steel heat baffles (on some  
models), a bed of natural lava rocks or ceramic  
briquettes and a porcelain enameled heat  
retaining grill rack(s).

The Grill  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
The grill is supplied with natural lava rock  
(on some models). Because of the porosity of  
natural lava rock it is superior in its ability to  
capture heat as it rises from the grill burners.  
It also possesses the thermal mass needed for  
professional results. Flare-ups are controlled  
because the lava radiant keeps grease from  
getting to the flames and igniting.  
Place lava rocks in a single layer on top of the  
stainless steel radiant tray located under the  
grill rack. It is important to distribute the rocks  
evenly over the tray without leaving any large  
gaps. Uneven distribution of the rocks and air  
gaps can cause localized “hot” and “cold” spots  
which could result in unsatisfactory cooking  
performance.  
Lava rock  
(on some models)  
The intense heat produced by this system  
produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices  
are brought to the surface of the food and  
caramelized.  
The intense radiant heat from the ceramic  
briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that  
are brought to the surface of the food, giving it (See the Rotisserie section for placement when

The ceramic briquettes are in two separate  
stainless steel trays located under the grill  
Make sure the briquettes are in place in the trays  
so that they do not cover the holes in the trays.  
WARNING: IMPORTANT!  
Before  
lighting  
the grill  
Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to  
turning the gas on. If there is evidence of cuts,  
wear or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to  
use. Any replacement pressure regulators or  
hose assembly must be the type specified by  
the manufacturer.  
If the grill uses LP gas, connect the regulator to  
the LP tank and check the hose and regulator  
connections for leaks with a soap and water  
solution before operating the grill.  
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas  
supply valve and check the connections for gas  
leaks before each use.  
For LP use, the pressure regulator and hose  
assembly supplied with the unit must be used.  
Turn all knobs to OFF then turn on the gas  
supply.  
This LP tank is equipped with overfill  
protection. When you refill or trade in your  
tank, make sure the one you receive also has  
overfill protection.  
Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present.

The Grill  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
Grilling requires high heat for searing and  
proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the  
HI heat setting for the entire cooking time.  
However, when grilling large pieces of meat or  
poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to  
a lower setting after the initial browning. This  
cooks the food through without burning the  
outside.  
1. Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.  
Using the  
grill  
2. Light the grill using the instructions in the  
To light the grill section of this guide.  
3. Turn the control knob to HI and preheat the  
grill for 10–15 minutes. The roll top lid is to  
be closed during preheating.  
4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the  
desired doneness. The control knob may be  
set to any position to adjust the heat setting  
if necessary.  
Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a  
sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting  
near the end of the cooking time.  
Do not leave the grill unattended while  
cooking.  
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in  
the juices. The longer you preheat the grill, the  
faster the meat browns and the darker the grill  
marks will be.  
• When turning the meat over, always use a  
spatula as it will not puncture the meat  
allowing the juices to run out. This will help to  
keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once,  
as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly  
turned. Season or salt the meat after it has  
been cooked; these procedures have a  
tendency to dry the meat out.  
• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,  
“Rare beef is popular, but you should know  
that cooking it to only 140°F. means some  
food poisoning organisms may survive.”  
(Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen  
Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)  
Grilling  
hints  
• When defrosting meats it is recommended  
that it be done overnight in the refrigerator  
as opposed to a microwave. This in general  
yields a juicier cut of meat.  
• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or  
poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from  
curling while they are being cooked, slit the  
fat around the edges at about 2-inch intervals.  
To test for doneness, make a small cut in the  
center of the meat.  
• Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly  
cooked by using a meat thermometer.  
• The doneness of meat is affected by the  
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a  
thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A steak  
should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn  
out rare and juicy. The cooking time is  
affected by the temperature of the meat  
when you start to cook it, the size and shape  
of the cut and the kind of meat you are  
cooking. The degree of doneness desired  
also affects the time.

Range-Top Burners  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
Some cooking centers are equipped with heavy  
cast iron burners. Each is rated at 15,000 BTU  
and has a rotary spark igniter for efficient lighting.  
Range-top  
burners  
(on some models)  
The burner grates are porcelain enamel over  
cast iron for durability.  
Each cooking center comes with a stainless steel  
cover which doubles as a work surface. When  
using the grill burners with the work surface in  
place, be careful as heat can conduct from the  
grill section and cause the work surface to heat up.  
Never attempt to light the range-top burners  
with the work surface in place.  
Cover the range-top burners with the stainless  
steel cover when not in use.  
First remove the burner cover, by lifting up and  
to the side, or any cooking utensils from the  
burner grate.

If the burner will not light after several  
attempts, wait 5 minutes. The burner can  
be lit by holding a lit match next to the  
burner ports and turning the control  
knob to LITE.  
Push and turn the control knob to the LITE  
position and immediately turn the rotary igniter  
knob (between the rear and front burner  
knobs) until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass.  
If the burner doesn’t ignite wait 5 minutes for  
any accumulated gas to dissipate then try again.

The correct height of the flame depends on the  
size and material of the pan being used, the  
food being cooked and how much liquid is in  
the pan.  
Flame  
height  
• The flame should never extend beyond the  
bottom of the pan.  
• Pans that conduct heat slowly (such as glass-  
ceramic) should be used with low or medium

amount of liquid.  
Note: The flame size on a gas burner should match the  
cookware you are using.

The rotisserie system is designed to cook items  
from the back of the grill using infrared heat.  
The rotisserie burner (on some models) is an  
infrared type which provides intense searing  
radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent  
for searing in the natural juices and nutrients  
found in quality cuts of meat.  
Rotisserie  
system  
The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal  
gears and is capable of turning up to a 12, 15  
or 20 lb. cut of meat or poultry, depending on  
the model. The actual capacity is limited by  
clearance and motor torque.  
(on some models)  
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking  
temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red  
glow will even out in about 5 minutes.

On 24models the motor is mounted by sliding  
it down into place in the metal channel attached  
to the right side of the grill. The skewer is  
connected to the motor assembly by placing  
the pointed end through the motor access hole  
in the grill and into the motor. The left side of  
the skewer rests in the grill groove.  
Assembly  
On 27models the motor is mounted to a metal  
channel which attaches to the left side of the  
grill and is tightened into place with a thumb  
screw. Ensure that the motor is straight prior to  
tightening the thumb screw.  
24model rotisserie assembly  
The rotisserie motor on 36and 48models is  
secured down to a cast rotisserie block with the  
black screw-down knob. The rotisserie block is  
in turn bolted to the right side panel.  
On 36and 48models, the skewer or the  
rotisserie is attached to the motor assembly by  
placing the pointed end into the motor and  
resting the threaded end on the support at the  
left side (right side on 24and 27models) of  
the grill.  
With the skewer pushed as far as possible into  
the motor, the grooved skewer bushing should  
rest on the left side bracket.

LITE position.  
To light the  
rotisserie  
burner  
Press the safety valve button, hold in, and  
begin turning the rotary ignitor button located  
next to the control knob. It may be necessary to  
turn the ignitor knob several times until the  
burner lights. You will hear a snapping sound.  
At the same time, a spark will be provided at  
the safety probe. Once the burner ignites, hold  
the safety valve button in for about 10 seconds  
or until the burner remains lit.  
(on some models)  
NOTE: The location of the rotisserie burner  
makes it susceptible to strong wind conditions,  
more so than the protected grill burners.  
For this reason you should avoid utilizing the  
rotisserie burner during windy conditions.  
As an added precaution we’ve equipped the  
burner with an automatic safety valve which  
will not allow gas to flow to the rotisserie  
burner unless the following conditions are  
present with the knob on:  
This is the only burner on the grill with a safety  
valve. Once lit, turn the control knob to the  
desired setting.  
If the burner does not light within 4 seconds,  
release the safety valve button and turn the

The Smoker System  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
Tiles  
For the 27models, the smoke flavor tray is  
located directly beneath the rotisserie burner.  
It is a stainless steel tray which is designed to  
hold wood chips or herbs for adding a smoke  
flavor to foods.  
Rotisserie  
burner  
The smoke  
flavor tray  
(on some models)  
For the 36and 48models, the smoke flavor  
tray is located above a 5,000 BTU burner. The  
burner is controlled by a precision brass valve  
which is capable of being turned down to very  
low heat levels. The smoker system may be used  
alone for low temperature roasting and  
smoking or in conjunction with any  
Smoke flavor tray  
Because of the location of the smoke flavor tray on 27models,  
the rotisserie burner acts as the burner for the smoke flavor tray.  
Smoke flavor tray (36and 48models)  
combination of other burners.  
The tray may also be filled with water to  
produce steam. Whether smoking or steaming  
the lid should remain closed as much as  
possible to maximize the effect.  
There are many wood chips available for  
purchase and selection is based on personal  
taste. The most common wood chips used are  
mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter  
taste and is commonly used with poultry and  
seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats.  
Use of oak, cherry, maple, aspen or apple is  
also common while aromatic herbs like sage,  
bay leaves, thyme or basil may also be of use.  
If the wood chips do flame up, add a small  
amount of water to extinguish the flame. This  
should be done carefully through the top of  
the grill area, or by pulling the tray out slightly.  
Wood chips  
To avoid steam burns, use caution when  
adding water to a hot tray. Never completely  
remove a hot tray.  
During extended roasting periods it is normal  
to add fresh wood chips to the tray several  
times.  
Always soak the chips in water prior to putting  
them into the tray. In the beginning you may  
want to use the HI position to start the chips  
smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level  
to prevent them from drying out and flaming.  
To minimize the possibility of burns do not  
remove the smoker tray when hot.  
Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. Locate  
the burner visually by looking through the cut-  
out in the valve panel. Push and turn the control  
knob to the LITE position and immediately  
turn the smoker rotary ignitor knob (for 36or  
48cooking centers) or the rotisserie rotary  
ignitor knob (for the 27cooking centers) until  
the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner  
doesn’t ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated  
gas to dissipate, then try again. If the burner will  
not light after several attempts, wait 5 minutes  
then match light using a long stemmed match  
or lighter through the cut-out in the valve panel.  
Once lit, fill the smoker tray and replace.  
To light the  
smoker burner  
(on some models)  
On 36and 48cooking centers  
When using the smoker system in conjunction  
with the optional infrared rotisserie burner  
you’ll find it helpful to use the low setting of the  
smoker burner to minimize the heat rising up to  
the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering the meat  
away from the smoker burner also helps.

Care and Cleaning  
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center  
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately For harder baked-on food particles, remove the  
Grill rack(s)  
after cooking is completed and after turning  
off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect  
your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a  
brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and  
scrub the hot grill. Drip the brush frequently in  
the bowl of water. Steam, created as water  
contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning  
process by softening any food particles. The  
food particles will fall onto the hot lava rocks  
or ceramic briquettes and burn or fall into the  
drip tray (on some models). If the grill is  
allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will  
be more difficult.

attempting to clean. Clean the grease from the  
pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.  
It is not necessary to remove the lava rocks for  
cleaning. They burn themselves clean during  
the next cooking operation. Periodically the  
rocks need to be turned over for a thorough  
cleaning. How often you use the grill and the  
amount and type of food cooked will determine  
when it is necessary to turn the lava rocks.  
If grease can be seen on the top of the rocks  
or if you get a lot of flare-ups during cooking,  
the rocks need to be turned over and heated  
on HIGH for about 30 minutes, longer for  
heavy soil.

Do not replace the stainless steel radiant trays  
with alternates. Should the ceramic briquettes  
ever need to be replaced, purchase them  
locally, wherever outdoor cooking centers  
are sold.  
After emptying the ash from the trays, replace  
them with the small tray in the back and the  
large tray in the front. Make sure the briquettes  
do not cover the holes in the tray.

The range-top burner grates are porcelain  
enamel over cast iron for durability. To avoid  
burns do not clean a hot grate. They may be  
wiped while in place with hot, soapy water,  
rinsed and wiped dry. Never immerse a hot  
grate in water.  
Burner  
grates  
(on some models)  
Due to rapid temperature changes the  
porcelain may pop off the edges of the grates.  
Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast  
iron, soon darkens to blend with the porcelain  
enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the  
enamel has popped off. The edges may be sharp.  
If you remove the grates for cleaning, care should be taken  
in lifting them. They are very heavy. Place the grates on a  
protected surface.  
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the  
stainless steel surface.  
For hard to clean soil, or film layers of grease,  
use a stainless steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®.  
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse  
thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in  
the direction of the grain.

Inside and outside stainless steel can be  
cleaned easily and quickly with a stainless steel

Before replacing an igniter perform this  
simple test.  
If there is a spark, examine the wire of the  
electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine  
the electrode for grease and debris or see if the  
electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the  
top of the electrode bracket?  
Replacing  
a rotary  
igniter  
1. Remove the drip tray (on some models).  
2. From underneath the valve panel, look  
upwards and locate the end of the igniter  
wire, where it is connected. Disconnect the  
wire and place the metal blade of a  
screwdriver about 1/8from the terminal  
of the rotary igniter.  
The rotary igniter may be replaced from the  
front by removing the drip pan (on some  
models) and reaching behind the valve panel  
to unplug the igniter wire. Remove the igniter  
knob and the two mounting screws. (Reverse  
the procedure to replace.) If removing the  
valve panel is necessary begin by removing all  
the control knobs, then remove the 4 corner  
screws of the valve panel.  
3. Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good,  
a spark will jump across to the screwdriver.  
If there is no spark, replace the igniter.  
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or  
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.  
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other  
insects can cause the gas to flow from the  
front of the burner. This is a very dangerous  
condition which can cause a fire to occur  
behind the valve panel, damaging the cooking  
center and making it unsafe for use.  
You should inspect the burners at least once a  
year or immediately if any of the following  
conditions occur:

straightened out to clear them.  
NOTE: To ensure warranty coverage and proper  
performance of the grill and range-top burners,  
monthly inspection and cleaning of all the grill  
and range-top burner orifices is recommended.  
Grill burners for 24model  
With the burner(s) removed, remove the  
orifice and shine a flashlight through the  
opening to ensure there is no blockage.  
Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely  
careful not to enlarge the hole or break off  
the needle.

GRILL WON’T LIGHT Check to see if other burners on the unit operate.  
WHEN THE ROTARY  
IGNITER IS TURNED  
Remove the grill rack and the stainless steel radiant tray, and watch  
the igniter tip. You should see a spark jump from the tip of the igniter  
when the knob is turned. If there is no spark check to ensure there is  
gas supplied to the unit.  
Use a match to light the burner. (See the “To light the grill” section).  
Visually check the electrode and wire while turning the igniter.  
The only place a spark should appear is at the electrode tip.  
If the electrode or wire leaks voltage, remove and replace.  
Purge the gas line of any air.  
Check the orifice for blockage.  
Inspect the igniter tip to make sure it is clean and free from debris.  
Clean the area. Readjust for 1/8gap.

Check the burner inlet for obstructions.  
Check the air shutter for proper adjustment.  
(See the “Installation Instructions”).  
Placement of the cooking center is important for proper burner  
operation. Do not place the cooking center in a dusty area.  
LOW HEAT WITH  
CONTROL KNOB IN  
THE HI POSITION  
Inspect the fuel hose to ensure it is not bent or kinked.  
Adequate gas supply may not be available. Check to make sure there  
is gas in the LP tank (on some models).  
If it is only one burner that appears low, the burner or burner orifice  
may need cleaning.  
The air shutter may need adjustment.  
Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed.  
ROTISSERIE BURNER Check for a spark at the igniter.  
WON’T LIGHT
