Troubleshooting

Please refer to the following Troubleshooting Guide if you have any problems
lighting or operating your grill. Many solutions given here can make your grilling
experience safer and more enjoyable.
Problem
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess
flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas
flow under normal conditions, yet control excess gas flow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow
device, providing a low flame and low temperature.If the
tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner
valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device
to activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure
is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.
Low heat, LP gas
T o ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill,
follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are "OFF".
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
3. Light the burner one at a time following the lighting
instructions listed on the control box and Page 22.
Gas pressure is affected by gas line and length of gas line
from house gas line. Follow the recommendations in the
chart below.
