Troubleshooting
• Damaged hose.

mishandling.
° Failure of cylinder valve from
mishandling or mechanical failure.
° Improper installation, connection not
tight, failure of rubber seal.
° Fire in burner tube section of burner
due to blockage.
° Too muchgrease buildup in burner
area.
• Turnoff gas at LPcylinder or at source on natural gas systems.
If the hose is cracked or cut but not burned, simply replace
valve / hose/ regulator. If the hose is burned, the cause could
be other than a faulty valve/hose/regulator. Discontinue use of
grill until a plumber or gas technician has investigated and
corrected the problem.

visually inspect rubber seal for damage. See LPCylinder Leak
Test and Connecting Regulator to the LPCylinder.
• Turnoff control knobs and LPcylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold,
remove burner and inspect for spider nestsor rust. See Spider
