TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem: Misalignment of Ignitor on Burner:
Solution: Check for proper position of electrode tip. The tip of the electrode should be
pointing forward towards the front of the burner and should be free of grease to
allow proper sparking. The ignition wire should be connected firmly to the valve
ignition device and electrode. Replace the ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked.
With gas supply closed and all control knobs set to the off position, check each
position igniter individually for presence of spark at electrode. In turn, push
each knob in fully and rotate about 1/4 turn to the left (Counter Clockwise) until
you hear a loud click. The trigger hitting the strike block should produce a blue
spark at the electrode tip. Return control knob to the off position before
checking the next igniter
While the grill is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of five minutes before
commencing re-ignition (This allows accumulated gas fumes to clear). If all
checks / corrections have been made and gas grill still fails to operate properly,
contact your local Cal Flame dealer
Problem: Yellow Flame:
Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that flame
color is mostly blue.
(Some yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel.)
If the flame is golden or yellow in color, the reason could be seasoning salts,
oil film, or other foreign matter on the burner.
Either wash the burner with mild detergent or operate burner at the HIGH
setting with the lid closed for about ten minutes.
Problem: Flashback:
Solution: When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its
source and turn the control knob(s) clockwise to the off position. Wait
until the grill has cooled off and then clean the burner tubes and burners as
described on page 26 of this manual.
