Safety precautions

For a memorable grilling experience, safety must come first! Ensure that children and pets are kept far away from the grill, and never leave the grill unattended while cooking.

Also, avoid placing flammable materials on the grill that could potentially catch fire, such as gasoline, debris, wood, etc. Remember these tips to make grilling as safe and enjoyable as possible!

How to turn on/off the grill

You could easily find the grill by the front patio – an ideal spot for hosting an evening of grilling during your vacation!

To get started, make sure all the burner knobs are in the "Off" position. This grill uses propane, so ensure the gas supply hose is free from cuts, wear, and abrasion before turning on the gas.

Push the ignitor button (top) and immediately depress and turn 90° counter-clockwise the control knob for the burner you are trying to light. Keep pressing the igniter button until the burner is lit.

You may use the control knobs to adjust the burner temperatures afterward.

Finally, when you're done, simply turn the knobs to the "Off" position and turn off the gas supply.

Troubleshooting steps

If a burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again. 

If the ignitor button is not functioning, you can manually light your gas grill by turning the desired control knob and quickly inserting a lighter between the grates on the grill to ignite one of its gas lines. 

You'll find a lighter in the kitchen of the house to use, but before doing so, we once again suggest waiting at least 5 minutes to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.

In case of any other issues with the grill, feel free to get in touch with our Wander Concierge team!
