TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame,
in conjunction with the smell of gas.
Burner does not light, or flame is low in
HIGH position.
Experiencing flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray
with aluminum foil.
Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is
low when burner is on HIGH. Flames do
not run the whole length of the burner tube.
Inside of lid appears to be "peeling."
(Resembles paint peeling.)
Barbecue seems to lose heat when
cooking in cold weather temperatures
50°F or colder. (The liquid propane in the
cylinder turns to vapor too slowly to
supply the burners with gas. This is
due to the air temperature cooling the
LP cylinder which slows the
vaporization process.)
Check
Inspect Spider/Insect Screens
for possible obstructions.
(Blockage of holes.)
Is LP fuel low or empty?
Is fuel hose bent or kinked?
Does the Left burner light
with a match?
Are you preheating barbecue
in the prescribed manner?
Are the cooking grates and
Flavorizer Bars heavily coated
with burned-on grease?
Is the bottom tray "dirty" and not
allowing grease to flow into catch pan?
Are burners clean?
The lid is porcelain-on-steel, not
paint. It cannot "peel." What you
are seeing is baked on grease that
has turned to carbon and is flaking
off. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.
Is there frost/ice on the outside
of the LP cylinder?

Section.)

minutes for preheating.
