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.
[]
Turn
all Control
Knobs
to the OFF position.
[]
Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
[]
Disconnect
regulator
from
LP Gas tank.
[]
Let unit stand
for 10 minutes.
[]
Reconnect
regulator
to the LP Gas tank.
[]
Open
grill Lid (or Side Burner
Lid if you are lighting
the Side Burner)
[]
Turn
the tank valve slowly
% of one turn.
[]
Light
main
Burner
farthest
from fuel
source.
[]
Turn
the tank valve
slowly one more % of one turn
for ½ of one complete
turn.
[]
Continue
to light Burners
moving
towards
the tank.
[]
Do not turn tank valve more than
½ of one turn.
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 3 feet away from any wall or
surface.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away
from
combustible
objects
that can melt or catch
fire
(such
as vinyl or wood
siding,
fences
and
overhangs)
or sources
of ignition
including
pilot
lights on water
heaters
and live electrical
appliances.
Never
use
your
gas grill in a garage,
porch,
shed,
breezeway
or any other
enclosed
area.
Never
obstruct
the flow
of ventilation
air around
your
gas grill
