Troubleshooting
Problem: Flame behind control panel or
control knob area.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
IMMEDIATELY shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.
1. Check for spider webs or insect nests in venturi and clean
venturi.
2. Gas is leaking from a faulty connection. Tighten connections
with an adjustable wrench and replace damaged parts. Perform
a leak test on all connections before cooking on grill again.
3. Venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over
orifice.
If a fire occurs at the cylinder valve, DO NOT attempt to move
the cylinder. IMMEDIATELY call the fire department and clear
the area. You can safely spray water with a garden hose from
a distance of at least 15 feet away from cylinder until firemen
arrive.
For Your Additional Safety
Current L.P. gas cylinders are fitted with an Overfill Protection
Device (O.P.D.). To insure that you retain this safety-device,
take your cylinder to an L.P. gas service station for filling, or
when exchanging your cylinder at a cylinder exchange station,
request that your replacement cylinder be fitted with the O.P.D.
feature.
YOUR NEW GAS GRILL IS EQUIPPED WITH A
TYPE 1 CONNECTION DEVICE WHICH HAS 3
SAFETY FEATURES:
(SEE TYPE 1 CONNECTION ILLUSTRATION)
1. Proof of gas seal between the connector and the cylinder
before gas flow takes place.
2. A flow-limiting device designed to limit the flow of gas in
the event of a regulator or hose failure.
3. The connection has a thermal shut-off which will stop the
flow of gas if the connection reaches a certain temperature.
CURRENT GAS CYLINDERS ARE ALSO
EQUIPPED WITH AN OVERFILL PROTECTION
DEVICE (O.P.D.) WHICH GREATLY REDUCES
THE CHANCE OF ACCIDENTALLY OVERFILL-
ING THE CYLINDER.
SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING L.P. GAS CYLINDERS:
It is important to insure that your gas cylinder is properly
purged before it is filled. If you purchase a new cylinder,
please inform your propane gas dealer that this is a new cylin-
der and needs to be properly purged before being filled.
SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING TYPE 1 CONNECTION
DEVICES:
If you notice very small flames on the burner(s), you may have
accidentally activated the flow-limiting device in the Type 1
connection device. Besides a rupture in the gas hose, the
flow-limiting device may activate for one of the two following rea-
sons:
1. Opening the burner valves before opening the cylinder
valve. SOLUTION: Shut off the burner valves and the L.P.
cylinder valve and open in the proper order:
a). Open the L.P. cylinder valve first, then
b). Open burner valve and ignite the burner according to the
18
instructions in this manual for your grill.

DANGER
For Your Additional Safety
IF YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM, THERE MAY BE AIR IN THE
CYLINDER DUE TO IMPROPER PURGING.
2. The L.P. cylinder was not properly purged before it was filled.
SOLUTION: See your L.P. gas supplier.
