Listen to hear the electronic Igniter clicking. If not,
check these possibilities:

electronic ignition assembly behind the
control panel and the individual electrodes.

If you hear a clicking sound, then:
1. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they are not
coated with grease and dirt. Clean with
rubbing alcohol.
2. Inspect the distance from the electrode to the
burner. It should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the
main burner and 1/8 to 3/16 inch from the
side burner.
Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming
from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the
regulator. This is more likely to occur in periods
of high gas flow. A low volume of sound Is
normal and will not interfere with the operation
of your grill.
Question:
My grill has a low flame on some burners,
or some burners will not light at all. What
can cause this?
Answer
This can be caused by the flow limiting device,
which is generally triggered by a sudden change
in pressure. Opening the tank valve too fast or
shutting the burners off using the tank valve can
cause this. To reset:
1. Close the LP tank valve and disconnect
the regulator assembly from the tank.
2. Let the LP tank sit for 10 minutes.
3. Open all burner control knobs, including
the side burner, to "Hi" at the same time.
4. Close all burner control knobs.
5. Reconnect the gas regulator to the LP
tank.
6 . Follow the burner lighting procedures
and light the burner farthest from the LP
tank.
