PROBLEM
When attempting to light my grill, it will not light
immediately.
Main burner will not light.
Regulator makes noise.
Full size cover does not fit the grill.
Grill only heats to 200-300 degrees.
Grill takes a long time to preheat.
Burner flames are not light blue.
SOLUTION
• Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to light
the burner (if no spark)
• Ensure that the wire is connected to the electrode
assembly.
• Clean wire (s) and / or electrode with rubbing alcohol
and a clean swab. Wipe with a clean cloth.
• Check to see if the other burners operate. If so. Check the
gas orifice on the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction.
• Check to see if the main burner igniter wire point to the
main burner hole.
• Check to see if there is a distance about 3-5 mm from the
igniter to the holes.
• Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator
may be faulty.
• Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed.
Clear the hole, close the gas control valves. Wait ten
minutes and re-start.
• Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames
are not correct, replace regulator.
• Cover may be incorrect for your grill. It may be a tight fit.
Ensure the cover is the correct length for your grill.
Measure it left to right. Compare to the grill's
measurement.
• Compare the location and size of the hood portion of the
cover to your grill.
• Spread the cover and allow it to relax, preferably in warm
sunlight or in a warm room.
• For grill with a side shelf bunch the cover like a sock, put
on left to right.
• Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked.
• Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.
• Make sure the burner and orifices are clean.
• Check for spiders and insects.
• The regulator has a safety device that restricts the flow of
gas in the event of a leak. This safety device can be
triggered with out a gas leak. To reset the safety device,
turn off all burners and close the LP tank valve. Disconnect
the regulator from the LP tank and wait one minute.
Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank and slowly open the
LP tank valve until the valve is fully open. Light all burners
and observe the temperature.
• Normal preheat 500-600degrees, takes about 10-15 min.
Cold weather and wind may effect your preheat time.
• If you are using volcanic rock or briquettes they can
increase the preheat time and maximum temperature.
• Too much or not enough air for the flame.
• Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather
can affect the mixture. Burner adjustment may be
required.
• Grill is in a windy location.
