Troubleshooting
If the grill fails to light:
1. Turn gas off at source and turn control knobs to
OFF. Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, and
then retry.
2. If your grill still fails to light, check the gas supply
and connections. Ensure gas supply is turned on
(turn counterclockwise), there is gas in the tank, and
the regulator is properly seated in the tank valve.
3. Repeat lighting procedure. If your grill still
fails to light, turn the gas off at the source, turn the
control knobs to OFF, and check the following:
4. Check that the end of each burner tube is properly
located over each valve orifice.
Obstruction in Gas Line
Correction: Detach regulator hose assembly. Do not
smoke! Open all control knobs at the same time to
Hi. Close all burner control knobs to OFF and
reattach the regulator hose assembly to the grill.
Plugged Orifice or Burner Tube Obstruction
Correction: Remove burners from grill and clean
following the burner cleaning instructions later in this
manual. Observe valve orifice to be sure there is no
obstruction visible.
If an obstruction is suspected in Gas Valve or
Manifold, call the Customer Support Center.
Misalignment of Igniter and Burner
Correction: Check for proper position of the
electrode tip. The gap between the electrode tip and
burner should be approximately 3/16 of an inch.
Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply off and all
control knobs set to OFF press the electric igniter
button and check for the presence of a spark at the
electrode.
Disconnected Electric Wires
Correction: Inspect the electronic igniter (see
Parts List) found behind the control panel.
Connect loose electric wires to ignition assembly.
Weak AA Battery
Correction: Unscrew the igniter cap and replace
the battery.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire! Batteries may
explode or leak.
