debris, or improper air shutter
adjustment.
Improper air shutter adjustment.
Dead battery / or installed
incorrectly.
Loose electrode wire.
Wrong replacement igniter.
Improper gap at electrode tip.
Lifting flames on burner.
Normal occurence on hot days.

surfaces.
Solution
Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes towards the
front, and the slots on the bottom. See assembly instructions.
Pre-heat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15
minutes.
Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line pan
with aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instructions.
Thoroughly clean burner by removing. See general
maintenance instructions. Open air shutter slightly according
to combustion air adjustment instructions.
Close air shutter slightly according to combustion air
adjustment instructions.
Replace with heavy duty 'AAA' battery. Install with positive
terminal up.
Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal
on the back of the igniter.
One spark systems must use a one spark igniter.
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.
Close air shutter slightly - see previous problem.
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.
Clean burner ports. See burner maintenance instructions.
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.
