IMPORTANT - FIRST TIME USE:
It is important that the grill be lit and allowed to heat up for at least 15 minutes before any food is placed on the
cooking grid. It is normal for some smoke to appear during the initial operation of the grill. After initial heating,
the grill is ready for use. A cooking spray may be used on the cooking grids to allow easier clean up.
If ignition does not occur within 3-5 seconds, turn the control knob "CLOSE." Wait 5 minutes before
attempting to re-light the grill. If the grill fails to ignite after the second attempt, call our Customer Service
Department at 1- 866-984-7455 in USA and 1-800-648-5864 in Canada. Languages spoken: English, Spanish
and French 8 a.m.-5 p.m. PST Monday-Friday. You can also reach us by email at:
