Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer:
No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications
and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) or NG
(Natural Gas) use only. For your safety, conversion kits
are not available, nor will we sell or otherwise provide
parts or information to be used to convert your grill. Any
attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void
your warranty.
Question:
Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed
somewhere for reference?
Answer:
The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver
CSA label placed on the grill. Depending on the grill
model, the silver CSA label will be located on the left or
right side bowl panel underneath the side shelf,
underneath the right side of the oontrol panel, outside
left or right of control panel or on the back of the grill
cabinet.

clear and repeat the lighting procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor or battery is not working how can I light
my grill manually?
And
- Why would I need the silver
lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?
Answer:
If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs
replacing, you can light your grill through the Lighting
Hole on the side of the grill bowl using the Manual
Lighting Stick that hangs from the side of your grill. The
Lighting Stick is designed to hold a paper match and
allows you to safely insert a match through the Lighting
Hole without getting close to the Burner. Never remove
the Cooking Grids or Savor Plates ® and attempt to light
the grill from above. To light your gas grill manually,
insert a paper match into the Manual Lighting Stick and
follow steps 1 through 6 of the Basic Lighting
Procedures. Then, light the match and place it through
the Lighting Hole on the left side of the grill (location of
hole varies by grill model). Turn the nearest main
Burner Control Knob to the High setting to release gas.
The Burner should light immediately.
Question:
Sometimes
I
hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this? Aod- My grill has a low
flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the
regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your grill. Loud or
excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and
intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's
excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the
way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's
safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess
gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main Burner farthest
from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air
pockets in the manifold. Note: This procedure should
be done every time a new LP Gas tank is connected to
your grill.
