If your Gas Grill does not function properly, use the following checklist before
contacting your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call.
PROBLEM
Grill won't light when the
igniter button is pushed.
Burner flame is yellow or or-
ange and there is a smell of
gas.
Low heat with control knob set
on "HI".
The smell of gas with burner
flames appearing yellow.
The gas grill does not reach
temperature.
The gas grill heats unevenly.
The burners make popping
noises.

TROUBLESHOOTING

With the gas turned off remove the grills and flavor grid, push
the igniter button look at an angle into the collector box. You
should see a spark jump from tip of the igniter. If there is a
spark, check the gas supply. Is the tank full? Is the line purged
of air? Can you light the burner with a match?
Check air shutter adjustment, close as needed. (See page 11.)
Do other burners on the unit light?
Check the orifice for blockage. (See page 11.)
Is the igniter tip clean and free from debris? Sand area lightly.
Check the burner inlet for obstructions. (See pages 11)
Check the air shutter for proper adjustment. (See page 11.)
Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?
Is there an adequate gas supply?
If there is only one burner that appears low, does the orifice or
burner need cleaning?
(See pages 11.)
Are any other gas appliances at the location below normal rate?
Is the air shutter too far open or closed?
Is the gas supply or gas pressure low?
Has the grill been preheated for at least 5 minutes?
Check for spiders or insects.
Spiders and insects can nest in the burner of this or any grill,
and cause a disruption in the flow of gas from the burner. This is
dangerous and can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damag-
ing the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immedi-
ately if any of these conditions occur or persist.
Check air shutter adjustment. (See page 11.)
Check burners for clogged ports. (See page 18.)
