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. ƽ 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. 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).

plates. Turn snap igniter counter clockwise and check if the electrode is sparking to the
igniter tube. Try the snap igniter several times.
If the main burner(s) still fails to ignite, make
