Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer:
The humming noise is actually the gas
flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with the opera-
tions of the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces-
sive you may need to purge air from the gas line or
reset the regulator excess gas flow device. Note: This
purging procedure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with this
procedure refer to page 18, step 4, or call the
Customer
Service Helpline at the number shown
below.
