Check the Drip Tray Open the drip tray and check the drip pans for grease and other liquids. Clean the drip tray and pans often to avoid grease and other liquid buildup. Water can build up in the drip tray and pans if the grill is not covered when not in use. See Drip Tray in the "General Cleaning" section for emptying and cleaning the drip tray and pans. The drip tray must be in place and pushed all of the way in when using the grill. Prepare the Gas Supply 1. Open the hood completely. Do not light burners with the hood closed. 2. Make sure the control knobs are all turned to the OFF position. Turn the Gas Supply On 1. For outdoor grills using a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank: Slowly open the tank valve. NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not light. If your grill does light, the flames will be low and will not heat properly. Turn 20 lb LP gas fuel tank valve and all control knobs off and wait 30 seconds. After shutting off the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank, very slowly open tank valve and wait 5 seconds before lighting. 2. For outdoor grills using gas supply source other than 20 lb LP gas fuel tank: Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
