SOLUTIONS
The "excess gas flow control" feature, which is part of the grill-to-tank connection, may have been activated. To reset
the "excess gas flow control" feature, refer to "MAIN BURNER IGNITION."
m DANGER: When the "excess gas flow control" feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the
burners. After turning off the LP tank valve and burner control knobs, wait at least five minutes for the gas to clear
before attempting to light the grill. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious
bodily injury or death.
Be sure that there is gas flow to the burners by attempting to match light your burners. Refer to "MAIN BURNER
IGNITION—Lighting with a Match." If match lighting is successful, the problem lies in the ignition system. Refer to
