Weber Ducane Meridian 24 inch 3-burner LP Owner Manual - Page 15

NORMAL OPERATION ƽ WARNING: Your Ducane® grill was not designed to operate with the Rotisserie Burner and the Main Burner(s) on at the same time. Failure to follow this warning will lead to an overheating condition which would damage grill components and cause bodily harm. ƽ WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Lighting Your Grill ƽ WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can be accessed through the cabinet doors on a 24" Three Burner Model, and through the cabinet drawer on the 32" Five Burner Model. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced with a manufacturer recommended part prior to the appliance being put into operation. Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose assembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose. ƽ DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property. ƽ WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the "excess gas flow control" feature will activate, limiting the gas flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and burner control knobs. Then start over. ƽ DANGER: When the "excess gas flow control" feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder valve, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death. IMPORTANT If an external electrical source is used it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Snap Ignition Operation ƽ Always open the lid before igniting the burners Each control knob has its own igniter electrode built in.

You will hear a "snap" from the igniter. You will also see a 3˝ - 5˝ orange flame coming from the burner lighting tube at the left side of the burner (D). Continue to hold the burner control knob in for two seconds after the "snap". This will B allow gas to flow completely down the burner tube (E) and insure ignition. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the cooking grates. You should see a flame. If burner does not light on first try, push control knob in and turn to OFF. A ƽ WARNING: If the burner still does not light, turn the burner control knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or try to light with a match. E D C 15
