Problem
Possible Causes
Solution
Burner will not light with the
ignitor, but will light with a
match.
Loose electrode wire.
Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal on
the back of the ignitor.
Improper gap at electrode tip.
Ensure that the collector box is tight, and the gap between the
electrode end and the collector box is between 1/8 - 3/16".
The gap can be adjusted by bending the box in or out.
Humming regulator.
Normal occurance on hot days.
This is not a defect. It is caused by internal vibrations in the
regulator, and does not affect the performance or safety of the
gas grill.
Burners will not crosslight
each other.
Plugged ports along back of
burner.
Clean burner ports. See burner maintenance instructions.
"Paint" appears to be peeling
inside lid or hood.
Grease build up on inside sur-
faces.
This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and hood is stainless,
and will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease,
which dries into paint-like shards, that will flake off. Regular
cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning instructions.
Improper air shutter adjustment.
Close air shutter slightly according to combustion air
adjustment instructions.
Flames lift away from burner,
accompanied by the smell of
gas, and possibly difficulties
in lighting.
Loose electrode or switch terminal
wires.
Check that electrode wires are firmly pushed onto the terminal
on ignition module. Check that the lead wires from the
module to the ignition switch are firmly pushed onto their
respective terminals.
Dead battery.
Replace the battery with a new one.
Excessive flare-ups/uneven
heat.
Sear plates installed incorrectly.
Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes towards the
front, and the slots on the bottom. See assembly
instructions.
Improper pre-heating.
Pre-heat grill with main burners on high for 5 to 10 minutes.
Excessive grease and ash build
up on sear plates and in drip pan.
Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with
aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instructions.
Burners burn with yellow
flame, accompanied by the
smell of gas.
Possible spider web or other
debris, or improper air shutter
adjustment.
Thoroughly clean burner by removing. See general
maintenance instructions. Open air shutter slightly according
to combustion air adjustment instructions.
Pilot will not light.
Lack of gas.
After turning pilot knob to high, wait approximately 20-30
seconds for air to purge the gas supply line while pressing
igniter. Fill propane cylinder. During initial set-up or after tank
has been refilled, it is best to light one of the tube burners
before lighting the pilot burner. This allows the gas to reach
the valves on the manifold more quickly.
Obstruction in pilot orifice.
Clean pilot orifice.
Electrode wire loose or off.
Replace lead wire.
Dirty pilot electrode.
Clean pilot electrode.
Pilot is actually lit.
The pilot flame, especially on natural gas units is very difficult
to see. Place your hand 1 inch above grill surface over the
pilot burner to feel for heat.
