Solution
Ensure lighting procedure is followed carefully.
All gas grill valves must be in the off position
when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank
on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See
lighting instructions.
Pipe must be sized according to installation
code.
Preheat grill with both main burners on high
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes
towards the front and the slots on the bottom.
See assembly instructions.
Preheat 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. (This must be done
by a qualified gas installer.)
Close air shutter slightly according to
combustion air adjustment instructions. (This
must be done by a qualified gas installer.)
Replace with heavy duty battery.
Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed
onto the terminal on the back of the igniter.
Check that the lead wires from the module
to the ignition switch (if equipped) are firmly
pushed onto their respective terminals.
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"
(3mm-5mm). The gap can be adjusted by
bending the box in or out.

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.
