PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When attempting to light my grill, it will
not light immediately.
Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to light the burner (if no
spark).
Ensure that the wire is connected to the electrode assembly. Check if the
battery is installed properly.
Clean wire(s) and / or electrode with rubbing alcohol and a clean swab.
Wipe with a clean cloth.
Check to see if the other burners operate. If so. Check the gas orifice on
the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction.
Regulator makes noise.
Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty.
Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. Clear the hole,
close the gas control valves. Wait ten minutes and re-start.
Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames are not correct,
replace regulator.
Full size cover does not fit the grill.
Cover may be incorrect for your grill. It may be a tight fit.
Ensure the cover is the correct length for your grill.
Measure it left to right. Compare to the grill’s measurement.
Compare the location and size of the hood portion of the cover to your grill.
Spread the cover and allow it to relax, preferably in warm sunlight or in a
warm room.
For grill with a side shelf bunch the cover like a sock, put on left to right.
Burner flames are not light blue.
Too much or not enough air for the flame.
Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather can affect the
mixture. Burner adjustment may be required.
Grill is in a windy location.

Troubleshooting
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1.
The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2.
The grill does not reach temperature.
3.
The grill heats unevenly.
4.
The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following check list before contacting your dealer for service. You may
save the cost of a service call.
PREHEATING:
It is necessary to preheat the grill before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the
cooking temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs a pre-heat period of five minutes. Food that
requires a lower cooking temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes.
CAUTION
: If burners go out during operation, close gas supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Wait five minutes
before attempting to re-light (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION
: Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at source and turn off all burners.
CAUTION
: DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your grill is in operation. As with all appliances, proper
care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your gas gill is no exception.
