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 slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See
lighting instructions.
Pipe must be sized according to installation
code.
Preheat grill with both main burners on high
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes
towards the front and the slots on the bottom.
See assembly instructions.
Preheat grill with both main burners on high
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do
not line pan with aluminum foil. Refer to
cleaning instructions.
Thoroughly clean burner by removing. See
general maintenance instructions. Open air
shutter slightly according to combustion air
adjustment instructions. (This must be done
by a qualified gas installer.)
Close air shutter slightly according to
combustion air adjustment instructions. (This
must be done by a qualified gas installer.)
Replace with premium heavy duty battery.
Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed
onto the terminal on the back of the igniter.
Check that the lead wires from the module
to the ignition switch (if equipped) are firmly
pushed onto their respective terminals.
Close air shutter slightly - see previous
problem.

This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and
hood is porcelain, and will not peel. The
peeling is caused by hardened grease, which
dries into paint-like shards, that flake off.
Regular cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning
instructions.
