Solution
Ensure lighting procedure is followed
carefully. All gas grill valves must
be in the off position when the tank
valve is turned on. Turn tank on for
all pressure to equalize. See lighting
instructions.
Pre-heat grill with all main burners
on high for 10-15 minutes.
Ensure flame tamers are located on
pins in front and rear of firebox and
inline with burners.
Pre-heat grill with all main burners
on high for 10-15 minutes.
Clean flame tamers and drip pan
regularly. Do not line pan with
aluminum foil.
Thoroughly clean burner by remov-
ing. See maintenance instructions.
Change battery by turning igniter
cover clockwise to remove. Install
one AA battery. Install the battery in
the correct direction.
Check electrode wire is firmly
pushed onto the terminal on the
back of the igniter.
Ensure the collector box is tight and
the gap between the electrode end
and the collector box is between
1/8" and 3/16". The gap can be
adjusted by carefully bending the
spark electrode tip with a pair of
needle nose pliers.
This is not a defect. It is caused by
internal vibrations in the regulator
and does not effect the performance
or safety of the gas grill.
