Troubleshooting

Problem: Smell of gas is present
Solution: Check for loose connections in the gas line. Perform a leak test following the procedure described in
this manual.
Problem Burner does not ignite
Solution Use the following procedure with the figure below.
Check the position of the sparker tip. It should be pointing forward towards the front of the burner.
• Make sure there is a blue spark at the electrode tip to the burner.
• Make sure the igniter wire is connected firmly to the valve ignition device and the electrode.
• Make sure the valve orifice is free of any debris, dust or grease.
• Make sure the valve orifice is aligned inside the front hole of the burner.
• If there is no spark at all, replace the electrode or igniter wire.
Note: Turn off the gas at the source while troubleshooting.
Problem: Burner tube is misaligned over the orifice
Solution: Reposition the burner tube so that it is properly seated over the orifice.
Problem: Obstruction in the gas line
Solution: Remove the fuel line from grill. (Do not smoke or perform any maintenance in the vicinity of an
open flame.) Open the gas valve for one second to blow out any debris. Close off the gas valve and
reconnect the fuel line securely.
Problem: Yellow Flame
Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that it is mostly blue. Some
yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the flame is golden or yellow in color,
the reason could be seasoning salts, oil film, or other foreign matter on the burner.
