Troubleshooting (

continued

)

Problem

Sudden drop in gas flow or 
low flame.

Flames blow out.

Flare-up.

Persistent grease fire.

Flashback  (fire in 
burner tube(s)).

One burner does not light 
from other burner(s).

Possible Cause

• Out of gas.

• Excess flow valve tripped.

• Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.

• High or gusting winds.
• Low on LP gas.

• Excess flow valve tripped.

• Grease buildup.

• Excessive fat in meat.

• Excessive cooking temperature.

• Grease trapped by food buildup around 

burner system.

• Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.

• Grease buildup or food particles in end(s) of 

carryover tube(s).

Prevention/Solution

• Check for gas in LP cylinder.

• Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low, turn off knobs 

and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and leak-test. Turn 
on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light grill.

• Turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from cylinder. 

Reconnect and retry.

• Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height.

• Refill LP cylinder.

• Refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow” above.

• Clean burners and inside of grill/firebox.

• Trim fat from meat before grilling.

• Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.

• Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Leave lid in position and let fire 

burn out. After grill cools, remove and clean all parts.

• Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner cleaning 

section of Use and Care.

• Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.

Troubleshooting - Electronic Ignition

Problem (Ignition)

SECTION I

No sparks appear at any 
electrodes when Electronic 
Ignition Button is pressed; 

no noise

 can be heard from 

spark module. 

SECTION II

SECTION III

Sparks are present but not at 
all electrodes and/or not at 
full strength

Possible Cause

• Battery not installed properly.

• Dead battery.

• Button assembly not 

installed properly.

• Faulty spark module.

• Output lead connections not 

connected.

• Output lead connections not 

connected.

• Arcing to grill away from 

burner(s).

• Weak battery.

• Electrodes are wet.

• Electrodes cracked or broken 

“sparks at crack”.

Check Procedure

• Check battery orientation.

• Has battery been used previously?

• Check to insure threads are properly 

engaged. Button should travel up and 
down without binding.

• If no sparks are generated with new 

battery and good wire connections, 
module is faulty.

• Are output connections on and tight?

• Are output connections on and tight?

• If possible, observe grill in dark 

location. Operate ignition system and 
look for arcing between output wires 
and grill frame.

• All sparks present but weak or at 

slow rate.

• Has moisture accumulated on electrode 

and/or in burner ports?

• Inspect electrodes for cracks.

Prevention/Solution

• Install battery (make sure that “+” and “–” connectors are 

oriented correctly, with “+” on cap end.)

• Replace battery with new alkaline battery.

• Unscrew button cap assembly and reinstall, making sure 

threads are aligned and engaged fully.

• Replace spark module assembly.

• Remove and reconnect all output connections at module and 

electrodes.

• Remove and reconnect all output connections at module and 

electrodes.

• If sparks are observed other than from burner(s), wire insulation 

may be damaged. Replace wires.

• Replace battery with a new alkaline battery.

• Use paper towel to remove moisture.

• Replace cracked or broken electrodes.

No sparks appear at any 
electrodes when Electronic 
Ignition Button is pressed; 
noise can

be heard from spark 

module.
