An_:
No, your
gas grill is manufactured
to exact specifications
and is certified
for LPG (Liquid
Propane
Gas) or NG
(Natural
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
cabinet.
Question:
My grill will not light
properly.
Why?
Answer:
Always
light the Main Burner
farthest
from the fuel
source
first.
This will draw
gas across
the manifold
helping
prevent
air pockets
which
obstruct
gas-flow
and
prevent
proper
grill lighting.
Also try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source
and turn Control
Knobs
OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes
for gas to clear, then
retry.
2. If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner
Control
Knob(s)
and gas source
OFF and conduct
a leak test
of ALL gas connections
and gas sources
as
explained
in the Use and Care
section
of this manual.
3. If no leaks are detected,
wait 5 minutes
for any gas to
clear and repeat
the lighting
procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor
or battey
is not working
how can I light
my grill manually?
Answer:
If your ignition
fails to work or your battery
needs
replacing,
you can light the match
and place it over the
top opening
of the Lighting
Tube.
Never remove
the
Cooking
Grids
or Savor
Plates
TM
and attempt
to light the
grill from
above.
To light your
gas grill manually,
follow
steps
1 through
6 of Basic
Lighting
Procedures.
Then
light the match
and place it over the top opening
of the
Lighting
Tube.
Turn
the nearest
main
Burner
Control
Knob
to the High setting
to release
gas. The
Burner
should
light immediately.
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.

all Control
Knobs
to the OFF
position.

Where do I use my grill for safer operation and
