Troubleshooting
If the grill fails to light:
1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs to
OFF. Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then
retry.
2. If your grill still fails to light, check gas supply
and connections.
3. Repeat lighting procedure. If your grill still fails
to operate, turn the gas off at source, turn the
Control Knobs to OFF, then check the following:
□ Misalignment of Burner Tubes over Orifices
Correction: Reposition Burner Tubes over Orifices.
□ Obstruction in gas line
Correction: Remove fuel line from grill. Do not
smoke! Open gas supply for one second to clear
any obstruction from fuel line. Close off gas supply
at source and reconnect fuel line to grill.
□ Plugged Orifice
Correction: Remove Burners from grill by remov­
ing the screw from the rear of each Burner using a
Phillips Head Screwdriver. Carefully lift each
Burner up and away from gas valve Orifice.
Remove the Orifice from gas valve and gently clear
any obstruction with a fine wire. Then reinstall all
Orifices, Burners, Ootter Pins and cooking
components.
If an obstruction is suspected in Gas Valves or
Manifold, call the Grill Information Center.
□ Obstruction in Burner Tubes
Correction: Follow the Burner Tube cleaning
procedure on page 22 of this Operator's Manual.
□ Misalignment of Ignitor on Burner
Correction: Check for proper position of the
Electrode Tip as shown in step 15 page 15. The
gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark
Receiver should be approximately 3/16". Adjust
if necessary. With the gas supply closed and all
Control Knobs set to OFF press the Electric
Ignitor cap and check for the presence of a spark
at the Electrode.
□ Disconnected Electric Wires
Correction: Inspect the Electric Ignitor (see Parts
List) found behind the Control Panel. Connect loose
Electric wires to Junction Box and try to light the grill.
□ Weak AA battery
Correction: Unscrew the Ignitor Cap and replace
the battery.
□ If the grill still does not light you may need to
purge air from the gas line or reset the
regulator excess gas flow device.
Note: This
procedure should be done every time a new
LP Gas tank is connected to your grill.
To purge air from your gas line and/or reset
the regulator excess gas flow device:
□ Turn Control Knobs to the OFF position.
□ Turn off the gas at the tank valve.
□ Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank.
□ Let unit stand 5 minutes to allow air to purge.
□ Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank.
□ Turn tank valve on SLOWLY 1/4 of a turn.
□ Open the Grill Lid.
□ Push and turn the LEFT Control Knob to Hi.
□ Press Electric Ignitor for 3-4 seconds to light
the burners.
Never lean over the grill cooking area while lighting
your gas grill. Keep your face and body a safe distance
(at least 18 inches) from the Lighting Hole or Burners
when lighting your grill by match.
