PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Electrode wire (lead wire) is unplugged
or has a loose connection
Conrm that the lead wire, from
the Electronic Igniter module to the
electrode is well attached. Loose or
corroded contacts in the igniter system
and electrode can impair its functionality.
Proper connection can often be restored
by simply disconnecting and reconnect-
ing the various electrode wires.
Electronic Igniter Module battery
is dead
The battery located in the Electronic
Igniter Module may be dead. Replace
battery. The correct position is with the (+)
end down.
Do not leave battery within Electronic Igni-
tion module for extended periods, if BBQ is
not in use. Battery acids and corrosion can
result causing permanent damage to the
Electronic Ignition module.
Battery cap not threaded properly Remove the Electronic Igniter battery cap
and re-attach. Ensure that the cap is prop-
erly attached without cross threading.
Electrode sparks but the burner will
not light.
Electrode not properly spaced The electrode must be properly spaced
in distance from the burner and sit within
the collector box, 3/16 or slightly over 1/8
of an inch from the burner – too much or
too little of a gap will impair the electrode’s
ability to have a positive spark, allowing
the burner to light
Damaged collector box The electrode is covered by the collector
box that traps impurities to prevent the
electrode and collector box from corrod-
ing. If either the electrode or collector box
is corroded a light sanding using ne sand
paper will restore them to functionality. If
the collector box is pierced or worn from
excessive corrosion it must be replaced.
Blockage within Venturi tubes Burner maintenance must be performed
to remove any blockages within the
Venturi tubes that are enabling the burner
from lighting.
Low fuel, no fuel, or gas source not
opened
Check the LP cylinder fuel level and
re-ll if necessary. Open the cylinder
valve if closed.
Flow limiting device in regulator has
been activated
Follow proper regulator ow limiting
device reset procedure and/or perform a
leak test to ensure that the ow limiting
device was not activated due to a leak in
the system.
Venturi tubes not properly seated over
gas jet orices
Ensure proper burner installation.
