In order to ignite your Lynx Grill you will need 120 v electricity. Plug the transformer into a working GFI outlet. You will be able to test if the transformer is bringing power by turning the grill lights on. This will illuminate the control panel blue. Once you have power, you will turn the control knob counter clockwise and the glow plug electrode will illuminate to a bright red and ignite the burners. Once the burners are ignited, you can adjust your temperature. https://www.thebbqdepot.com/brands/lynx/grills/ To find more grilling tips visit TheBBQDepot.com where we also have a full line of Lynx Grills and Replacement Parts. sAll Rights Reserved
