POSSIBLE CAUSE
Coupling nut and Liquid Propane
cylinder valve not fully connected.
Wire and/or electrode covered with
cooking residue.
Wires are shorting (sparking) between
ignitor and electrode.
Dead Battery.
Out of gas.
Vapor lock at coupling nut/
Liquid Propane cylinder connection.
High or gusting winds.
Low on Liquid Propane gas.
Grease trapped by food buildup
around burner system.
Burner and/or burner tube is blocked.
Some dealers have older fill nozzles
with worn threads.
PREVENTION/SOLUTION
Turn off the coupling nut approximately
one-half to three-quarters additional
turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand
only - do not use tools.
Clean wire and/or electrode with
rubbing alcohol and clean swab.
Replace ignitor wire/electrode
assembly.
Replace with a new alkaline battery.
Check for gas in Liquid Propane
cylinder. Refill/replace if necessary.
Turn off knobs and Liquid Propane
cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling
nut from cylinder. Reconnect and
retry.
Turn front of grill to face wind or
increase flame height.
Refill Liquid Propane cylinder.
Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at
Liquid Propane cylinder. Leave lid
in position and let fire burn out.
After grill cools, remove and clean
all parts.
Turn knobs OFF.
Clean grill (see page 4).
The worn nozzles don't have enough
"bite" to engage the valve. Try a
second Liquid Propane dealer.
