Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my regulator. What
causes this?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing
through the regulator. This is more likely
to occur in periods of high gas flow. A low
volume of sound is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your grill.
Question:
My grill has a low flame on some
burners, or some burners will not
light at all, What can cause this?
Answer
This can be caused by the flow limiting
device, which is generally triggered by a
sudden change in pressure. Opening
the tank valve too fast or shutting the
burners off using the tank valve can
cause this. To reset:
1. Close the LP tank valve and
disconnect the regulator
assembly from the tank.
2. Let the LP tank sit for 10
minutes.
3. Open all burner control knobs,
including the side burner, to "HI"
at the same time.
4. Close all burner control knobs.
S. Reconnect the gas regulator to
the LP tank.
6. Follow the burner lighting
procedures and lightthe burner
farthestfrom the LP tank.
Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer
operation and better performance?
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can
affect the heating and performance of
your gas grill so factor in these elements
when positioning your grill outdoors for
cooking.
Use your grill at least 2 feet away from
any wall or surface.
