Problem
Excessive flare-ups/uneven
heat.
Burners burn with yellow
flame, accompanied by the
smell of gas.
Flames lift away from burner,
accompanied by the smell of
gas, and possibly difficulties
in lighting.
Burner will not light with the
ignitor, but will light with a
match.
Humming regulator.
Burners will not crosslight
each other.
"Paint" appears to be peeling
inside lid or hood.
Pilot will not light.
Possible Causes
Sear plates installed incorrectly.
Improper pre-heating.
Excessive grease and ash build
up on sear plates and in drip pan.
Possible spider web or other
debris, or improper air shutter
adjustment.
Improper air shutter adjustment.
Loose electrode or switch terminal
wires.
Loose electrode wire.
Improper gap at electrode tip.
Dead battery.
Normal occurance on hot days.
Plugged ports along back of
burner.
Grease build up on inside sur-
faces.
Lack of gas.
Obstruction in pilot orifice.
Electrode wire loose or off.
Dirty pilot electrode.
Pilot is actually lit.
Solution
Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes towards the
front, and the slots on the bottom. See assembly
instructions.
Pre-heat grill with main burners on high for 5 to 10 minutes.
Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with
aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instructions.
Thoroughly clean burner by removing. See general
maintenance instructions. Open air shutter slightly according
to combustion air adjustment instructions.
Close air shutter slightly according to combustion air
adjustment instructions.
Check that electrode wires are firmly pushed onto the terminal
on ignition module. Check that the lead wires from the
module to the ignition switch are firmly pushed onto their
respective terminals.
Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal on
the back of the ignitor.
Ensure that the collector box is tight, and the gap between the
electrode end and the collector box is between 1/8 - 3/16".
The gap can be adjusted by bending the box in or out.
Replace the battery with a new one.
This is not a defect. It is caused by internal vibrations in the
regulator, and does not affect the performance or safety of the
gas grill.
Clean burner ports. See burner maintenance instructions.
This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and hood is stainless,
and will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease,
which dries into paint-like shards, that will flake off. Regular
cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning instructions.
After turning pilot knob to high, wait approximately 20-30
seconds for air to purge the gas supply line while pressing
igniter. Fill propane cylinder. During initial set-up or after tank
has been refilled, it is best to light one of the tube burners
before lighting the pilot burner. This allows the gas to reach
the valves on the manifold more quickly.
Clean pilot orifice.
Replace lead wire.
Clean pilot electrode.
The pilot flame, especially on natural gas units is very difficult
to see. Place your hand 1 inch above grill surface over the
pilot burner to feel for heat.
