CAUTION
A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause
injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.
Moving the grill:
• DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on
the cooking surface or side tables.
• Clean the grease tray before moving the grill to prevent spills.
• Collapse the grill before moving.
• Move the grill slowly. DO NOT run with the grill behind
you; it could hit you from behind causing injury.
After moving the grill:
• Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the
movement.
• Check the venturi tubes to be sure they are still over
the orifices.
Steps to follow before storing grill:
• Clean the grill, including the grease tray.
• Coat the burner lightly with cooking oil to retard rusting.
• For outdoor use only. If the grill is stored indoors, detach the
cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, remove the cylinder and
cover the grill for protection from the weather. Grill covers may
be purchased from a grill dealer or manufacturer.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Grill will not light when the igniter
button is pushed or has incomplete burner
flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder has fuel.
2. Make sure one of the burners is turned on. Allow up to four
seconds for gas flow to ignite.
3. If burner lights with match but not igniter, check the ceramic
electrode position near the burner, the condition of the igniter wire
and its connections. Perform igniter test and replace any
damaged parts.
4. Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
5. Check for misalignment of venturi on orifices. Position venturi
over orifices.
6. Burner ports, orifices or valves have blockage. Clean the
components.
7. Regulator failure; regulator needs to be replaced by an authorized
service dealer.
8. Make sure the regulator and cylinder are properly assembled. See
the section titled “Installing 1 lb. Disposable Cylinders”.

4. The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over
the orifice.
