end(s of carryover tube(s).
Prevention/Solution
• See Section I of the Electronic Ignition System.
• See Section II of the Electronic Ignition System.
• See Section III of the Electronic Ignition System.
• Use a long-stem match (fireplace match).
• See "Match-Lighting" section on page 9 of the Use and Care.
• Check for gas in the LP tank.
• Turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds and light the grill. If the
flames are still low, turn off the knobs and LP tank valve.
Disconnect the regulator. Reconnect the regulator and perform
a leak-test. Turn on the LP tank valve, wait 30 seconds and then
light the grill.
• Turn off the knobs and the LP tank valve. Disconnect the
coupling nut from the tank. Reconnect and retry.
• Turn the grill so that the front of the grill faces the wind or
increase the flame height.
• Refill the LP tank.
• Refer to the "Sudden drop in gas flow" section above.
• Clean the burners and the inside of the grill/firebox.
• Trim the fat from the meat before grilling.
• Adjust to a lower temperature.
• Turn the knobs to OFF. Turn the gas in the LP tank off. Leave the
lid in position and let the fire burn out. After the grill cools,
remove and clean all parts.
• Turn the knobs to OFF. Clean the burner and/or burner tubes.
See the burner cleaning section on page 10 of the Use and
Care.
• The worn nozzles don't have enough "bite" to engage the
valve. Try a second LP dealer.
• Clean the carry-over tube(s) with a wire brush.
