Electrode Check - Requires an Assistant
Before placing the cooking components into your
grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly
positioned within each Gas Collector Box (a
3-1/4" wide stainless mechanism found at the front
between each set of Burners.) The easiest way to
ensure this is to perform this Electrode Check:
1. Be sure alt Control Knobs are set to "OFF"
and open the Grill Lid.
2. Have an assistant stand behind to the right of
the grill and look down at each Gas Collector
Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.
Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear a
"clicking" sound and your assistant should see
a small blue spark within each Gas Collector
Box. If a spark is present the Electrode Tips
are properly positioned.
4. If no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in
Fig. 11 needs to be adjusted as follows:
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the Inside Nut
just until the Gas Collector Box can be maneuvered
and turned upward.
The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark receiver should be approximately 3/16".
If the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pair of long nose
pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collector Box
until the gap is correct.
Return the Gas Collector Box to its original horizon-
tal position, secure the Inside Nut and try the
Electrode Check again.
If no "clicking" sound is heard check the
following common causes. If you need assis-
tance call our Customer Service Helpline
at 1-888-317-7642.
