Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer:
No, your gas grill is manufactured
to exact specifications
and is certified
for LPG (Liquid
Propane
Gas) or NG
(Natural
Gas) use only. For your safety,
conversion
kits
are not available,
nor will we sell or otherwise
provide
parts
or information
to be used to convert
your grill. Any
attempt
to convert
your
grill is dangerous
and will void
your warranty.
Question:
Are the serial and model numbers
of my grill listed
somewhere
for reference?
Answer:
The
serial and model
numbers
are listed
on a silver
CSA label placed
on the grill. Depending
on the grill
model
the silver
CSA
label will be located
on the left or
right
side bowl
panel
underneath
the side shelf,
underneath
the right side of the control
panel,
outside
left or right
of control
panel or on the back of the grill
cabinet.
Question:
My grill will not light properly. Why?
Answer:
Always
light the Main Burner
farthest
from the fuel
source
first.
This will draw gas across
the manifold
helping
prevent
air pockets
which
obstruct
gas-flow
and
prevent
proper
grill lighting.
Also
try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source
and turn Control
Knobs
OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes
for gas to clear, then
retry.
2. If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner
Control
Knob(s)
and gas source
OFF and conduct
a leak test
of ALL
gas connections
and gas sources
as
explained
in the Use and Care section
of this manual.
3. If no leaks are detected,
wait 5 minutes
for any gas to
clear and repeat
the lighting
procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor
or battey
is not working
how can I light
my grill manually?
And
- Why would
I need
the silver
lighting
stick
that hangs
from
the side
of my grill?
Answer:
If your ignition
fails to work or your battery
needs
replacing,
you can light your
grill through
the Lighting
Hole on the side of the grill bowl
using the Manual
Lighting
Stick
that hangs
from the side of your grill. The
Lighting
Stick
is designed
to hold
a paper
match
and
allows
you to safely
insert
a match
through
the Lighting
Hole without
getting
close to the Burner.
Never remove
the Cooking
Grids or Savor
Plates
TM
and attempt
to light
the grill from
above.
To light your
gas grill manually,
insert a paper
match
into the Manual
Lighting
Stick and
follow
steps
1 through
6 of the Basic
Lighting
Procedures.
Then,
light the match
and place it through
the Lighting
Hole on the right
side of the grill (location
of
hole varies
by grill model).
Turn
the nearest
main
Burner
Control
Knob
to the High
setting
to release
gas.
The
Burner
should
light immediately.

Question:
Sometimes
I hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this? And - My grill has a low
flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming
sound
is gas flowing
through
the
regulator.
A low volume
of sound
is normal
and will not
interfere
with the operation
of your
grill. Loud
or
excessive
regulator
humming
and/or
low flow
and
intermittent
lighting
may be caused
by the regulator's
excess
gas flow device.
Opening
the tank valve all the
way or too quickly
is what
triggers
the regulator's
safety
device
to restrict
gas flow, preventing
excess
gas flow to your
grill. Lighting
the main
Burner
farthest
from the fuel source
every time will help eliminate
air
pockets
in the manifold.
Note: This
procedure
should
be done
every time a new LP Gas tank is connected
to
your grill.

Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer operation
and
better performance?
Answer:
[]

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.
