Electrode Check ~ Requires an Assistant
Before placing the cooking components into your
grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly
poationed within each Gas Collector Box ( a 4"
vwde stainless mechanism found at the front be­
tween each set of Burners.) The easiest way to
enajre this is to perform this Electrode Check:
1. Be sure all Control Knobs are set to
and open the Grill Lid.
"OFF"
2. Have an assistant stand behind to the right of
the grill and look down at each Gas Collector
Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.
3. Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear a
"clicking" sound and your assistant should see
a small blue spark within each Gas Collector
Box. If a spark is present the Electrode Tips
are properly positioned.
4. if no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in
Figure 4 needs to be adjusted as follows:
• Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the inside
Nut just until the Gas Collector Box can be
maneuvered and turned upward.
• The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark receiver should be approximately 3/16".
* if the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pai r of long
nose pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collector
Box until the gap is correct.
• Return the Gas Collector Box to its original hori­
zontal position, secure the Inside Nut and try the
Electrode Check again.
5. if no "clicking" sound is heard check the following
common causes. If you need assistance caii our
