PROBLEM CHECK and CURE IMPORTANT
ELECTRONIC IGNITION Be sure you have a fresh battery installed.
Be sure that there is gas flow to the burners by attempting to match light your burners. If
match lighting is successful, the problem lies somewhere in the ignition system and will need
to be checked.

MAIN GRILLING BURNERS
m CAUTION: Always turn the gas supply off at the tank before
proceeding with any troubleshooting procedures.
m WARNING: The hood must be in the full open position any time
you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the hood could
lead to delayed ignition, resulting in bodily harm.
After shutting off the main gas supply, remove the cook grate and heat distribution plates.
Push the igniter button and check if the electrode is sparking to the igniter tube. Try pushing
and holding the igniter so that it clicks several times.
If the main burner(s) still fails to ignite,
make sure that there is gas flowing to the
burner(s) by attempting to match light the
burner(s). If the burners will match light,
then proceed with the ignition checkout.
If for any reason the igniter system is
still inoperative, follow match lighting
instructions.
BURNERS WITH POOR FLAME Check to be sure burner ports, shutter, end of the burner (venturi) and orifice(s) are free of
any obstructions. Also, if your grill has been stored over a prolonged period of time, check to
make sure no spiderwebs have been formed in the shutter end of the burner (venturi) or over
orifices.
