are not coated
with
grease

rubbing
alcohol.

the distance
from the electrode
to the burner.

Question:
Sometimes
I hear a humming
sound
coming
from
my regulator.
What
causes
this?
Answer:
The humming
sound is gas flowing
through
the regulator.
This is more likely
to occur in periods
of high gas flow. A low
volume
of sound is normal
and will not
interfere
with the operation
of your
grill.
Question:
My grill has a low flame
on some
burners,
or some
burners
will
not
light at all, What
can cause
this?
Answer
This can be caused
by the flow limiting
device,
which
is generally
triggered
by a
sudden
change
in pressure.
Opening
the tank valve too fast or shutting
the
burners
off using the tank
valve can
cause this. To reset:
1.
Close the LP tank valve and
disconnect
the regulator
assembly
from the tank.
2.
Let the LP tank sit for 10
minutes.
3.
Open all burner
control
knobs,
including
the side burner,
to "HI"
at the same time.
4.
Close all burner
control
knobs.
5.
Reconnect
the gas regulator
to
the LP tank.
6.
Follow the burner
lighting
procedures
and light the burner
farthest
from the LP tank.
Question:
Where
do I use my grill for
safer
operation
and
better
performance?
Answer:
Strong winds
and low temperatures
can
affect
the heating
and performance
of
your
gas grill so factor
in these elements
when positioning
your
grill outdoors
for
cooking.
Use your
grill at least 2 feet away from
any wall or surface.
