1. Remove the grill rack and the briquette tray. Watch the igniter tip
as you press igniter button. You should see a spark jump from the
igniter tip to the burner.
2. If there is a spark, is gas supplied to the burner and is the line
purged of air? Can you match light the burner? Do the other
burners light?
3. Check the burner for blockage as described in Cleaning the
Grill Burner section on page 34.
4. If there is no spark, first replace igniter battery then, call
for service.
5. Visually check the electrode and wire while turning the igniter
knob. If a spark occurs anywhere but at the igniter tip, the igniter
must be replaced.
1. Check the burner for blockage as described in Cleaning the Grill
Burner section on page 34.
2. Check the air shutter for proper adjustment as described in Air
Shutter Adjustment section on page 11.
1. Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?
2. Is there adequate gas supply available? Do any other gas
appliances at the location appear to be below normal?
3. Is the problem isolated to one burner? If so, proceed with burner
cleaning as described in Cleaning the Grill Burner section on
pages 34 and 35.
4. Is the air shutter properly adjusted? See page 11 for adjusting
procedure.
5. Has the grill been preheated for 15 minutes with the lid closed?
