Troubleshooting - ProFire 48G Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your ProFire gas grill does not function properly, use the following checklist before
contacting your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call.
PROBLEM
Grill won't light when the rotary ignit-
er is turned
Burner flame is yellow or orange and
there is a smell of gas.
Low heat with control knob set on
"HIGH".
The smell of gas with burner flames
appearing yellow.
The gas grill does not reach temper-
ature.
The gas grill heats unevenly.
The burners make popping noises.
WHAT TO CHECK FOR AND DO
With the gas turned off remove the grills and flavor grid, turn the igniter knob
clockwise and look at an angle into the collector box. You can use a small
mirror for this if needed. You should see a spark jump from tip of the igniter.
If there is a spark, check the gas supply. Is the tank full? Is the line purged
of air? Can you light the burner with a match?
Check air shutter adjustment, close as needed. (See page 12.)
Do other burners on the unit light?
Check the orifice for blockage. (See page 12.)
Is the igniter tip clean and free from debris? Sand area lightly
Check the burner inlet for obstructions. (See pages 12,20.)
Check the air shutter for proper adjustment. (See page 12.)
Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?
Is there an adequate gas supply?
If there is only one burner that appears low, does the orifice or burner need
cleaning?
(See pages 20.)
Are any other gas appliances at the location below normal rate?
Is the air shutter too far open or closed?
Is the gas supply or gas pressure low?
Has the grill been preheated for at least 5 minutes?
Check for spiders or insects.
Spiders and insects can nest in the burner of this or any grill, and cause a
disruption in the flow of gas from the burner. This is dangerous and can
cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging the grill and making it unsafe
to operate.
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of
these conditions occur or persist.
Check air shutter adjustment. (See page 12.)
Check burners for clogged ports. (See page 20.)
