How to Light a Jenn-Air Grill
Jenn-Air is perhaps best known for making vented kitchen cooking appliances, but the company also licenses its name to Lowe's for a line of stainless steel propane and natural gas grills for outdoor use. These large grills are designed for serious outdoor chefs, with a grilling capacity on most models for up to 40 hamburgers at a time. Lighting one of these enormous grills may seem intimidating, but the process is not significantly different than lighting a tabletop gas grill at the local park.
-
Open the valve on the top of the propane tank, or the valve to the nozzle of the natural gas line behind the grill, by turning counter-clockwise.
-
Push in and simultaneously turn the burner control knob clockwise to release a flow of gas to the grill burners.
-
Press the ignition button on the front control panel of the grill. This is a red button, set into a chrome seal, mounted on the control panel. The grill should ignite instantly.
-
Turn off the burner control knob if the grill fails to light after pushing the ignition button 2 to 3 times.
-
Wait one minute to allow the gas to dissipate, then light a long wooden match or grill lighter and hold it next to the burner.
-
Turn on the burner control knob to release the gas. The grill will ignite instantly when the gas reaches the match or lighter flame.

- If the grill still fails to light after following all steps, shut off the gas valve and troubleshoot the grill.
