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:
Try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source
and turn Control
Knobs
OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes
for gas to clear, then

2. If your
grill still fails to light, turn the Burner
Control
Knob(s)
and gas source

a leak test
of ALL gas connections
and gas sources
as
explained

Question:
If my ignitor or battery 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
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
left 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 5 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 _¼ of one turn.
[]
Light the left main Burner.
[]
Turn
the tank valve slowly
one more
t/4 of one turn
for ½ of one complete
turn.
[]
Turn
Knob
for each other
burner
and light as you
move toward
the fuel source.
[]
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 5 feet away from any wall or
surface.
Use your grill at least 5 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
housing.
