Problem Possible Causes Solution
Burner will not light with the
igniter, but will light with a
match.
Humming regulator. Normal occurence on hot days. This is not a defect. It is caused by internal vibrations in the
regulator, and does not affect the performance or safety of
the gas grill. Humming regulators will not be replaced.
Burners will not crosslight
each other.
Plugged ports along back of
burner.
Clean burner ports. See burner maintenance instructions.
"Paint" appears to be
peeling inside lid or hood.
Grease build up on inside
surfaces.
This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and hood is porcelain,
and will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease,
which dries into paint-like shards, that will flake off. Regular
cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning instructions.
Dead battery / or installed
incorrectly.
Replace with heavy duty 'AAA' battery. Install with positive
terminal up.
Loose electrode wire. Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal
on the back of the igniter.
Wrong replacement igniter. Two spark systems must use a two spark igniter.
Improper gap at electrode tip.
Ensure that the collector box is tight, and the gap between
the electrode end and the collector box is between 1/8 - 3/
16". The gap can be adjusted by bending the box in or out.
Lifting flames on burner. Close air shutter slightly - see previous problem.
