SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of this
or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe
to operate.
When to look for spiders:
You should inspect the burners/venturi tubes at least once a
year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas along with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach the proper temperatures.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners makes a popping noise.
Troubleshooting

Guide
What to Check
Make sure the control knob is off. (No gas is on.)
Remove the grill rack and the flavor generator
plates. Watch the ignitor tip. You should see a
spark jump from the tip of the ignitor when the
button is pressed. Do the other burners work?
Make sure the ignitor tip is clean and free from
debris. Check battery to electronic ignition.
Burner flame is yellow
or orange and a gas
odor is present.

Burner
will not light.
Check the burner inlet for
obstructions. Check the air shutter for
proper adjustment.
Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?
Is there adequate gas supply available? If it is only
one burner that appears low, does the orifice or
burner need cleaning? Are any other gas
appliances at the location below normal rate? Is
the air shutter too far open or closed? Is the gas
supply or gas pressure low?
Is there a spark at the
thermocouple? Can you match light the burner?
Burner
lights, but will not hold
flame once button is
released
Is the thermocouple kinked or
bent away from the burner?
Readjust to lay flat against burner. Is the safety
valve button being depressed long enough? Hold
button in until burner remains lit. Check for black
spots on the infrared screen.
