Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer:
No, your
gas grill is manufactured
to exact
specifications
and is certified
for LPG
(Liquid
Propane
Gas)
use only.
For your
safety,
conversion
kits are not available,
nor will
we sell or otherwise
provide
parts
or information
to be
used to convert
your grill. Any attempt
to convert
your grill
is dangerous
and will void your
warranty.
Question:
Are the serial and model numbers
of my grill listed
somewhere
for reference?
Answer:
The
serial
and model
numbers
are listed
on a silver
CSA
label placed
on the grill. Depending
on the grill
model,
the silver
CSA
label will be located
on the left or
right
side bowl
panel
underneath
the side shelf,
underneath
the right
side of the control
panel,
outside
left or right of control
panel or on the back
of the grill

Question:
If my ignitor
or battery
is not working
how can I light
mygrill
manually?
And
-Why
would
I need the silver
lighi[ing stick th&t hangs
from the side of my grill?
Answer:
If your ignition
fails to work or your
battery
needs
replacing,
you can
light your grill through
the Cooking
Grid of the grill bowl
using the Manual
Lighting
Stick
that
hangs
from the side of your
grill. The Lighting
Stick
is
designed
to hold a paper
match
and allows
you to
safely
insert a match
through
the Cooking
Grid without
getting
close
to the Burner.
To light your gas grill
manually,
insert
a paper
match
into the Manual
Lighting
Stick and follow
steps
1 through
5 of the Basic Lighting
Procedures.
Then,
light the match
and place
it through
the Cooking
Grid of the grill bowl. Turn
the far
right
Burner
Control
Knob
to the Hi setting
to release
gas.
The
Burner
should
light immediately.
Never
lean
over
the
grill
cooking
area
while
lighting
your
gas
grill.
Keep
your
face
and
body
a safe
distance
(at least
18 inches)
from
the
front
of grill when
lighting
your
grill by
match.

Question:
Sometimes
I hear a humming
sound
coming
from
my
regulator.
What causes
this? And - My grill has a low
flame
and sometimes
will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming
sound
is gas flowing
through
the
regulator.
A low volume
of sound
is normal
and will not
interfere
with the operation
of your grill. Loud
or
excessive
regulator
humming
and/or
low flow
and
intermittent
lighting
may be caused
by the regulator's
excess
gas flow device.
Opening
the tank valve all the
way or too quickly
is what triggers
the regulator's
safety
device
to restrict
gas flow, preventing
excess
gas flow
to
your
grill. Lighting
the main
Burner
farthest
from
the fuel
source
every time will help
eliminate
air pockets
in the
manifold.
Note: This
procedure
should
be done
every
time a new LP Gas tank
is connected
to your grill.
[]
Turn
all Control
Knobs
to the OFF
position.

for 5 minutes.
Reconnect

to the LP Gas tank.
For Natural
Gas reconnect
regulator
to 12 ft.
Natural
Gas Hose.
[]
Open grill Lid (or Side Burner
Lid if you are lighting
the Side Burner).
[]
Turn the tank valve slowly ¼ of one turn.
For Natural
Gas open
Shut Off valve.
[]
Light
main

the fuel
source.

Question:
Where
do I use my grill for safer operation
and better
performance?
Answer:
[]

winds
and low temperatures
can affect

of your
gas grill so

elements
when
positioning
your
grill outdoors

[]
