Troubleshooting

If the Grill does not function
properly, use this checklist before
contacting Lynx for service.
GRILL WON'T LIGHT
Check to ensure that all burner
control knobs are set to OFF.
Push control knob in and ensure
that the ignition is glowing. If
ignition is not glowing, pro-
ceed with troubleshooting or
match-light the burner. If the
igniters are working correctly,
next determine if gas is reaching
the burners. Ensure the gas sup-
ply is turned on, and that there
are no leaks, according to the
procedure on page 11. Attempt
to match-light a burner accord-
ing to the procedure on page
14. If the burner will light with
a match, then the igniter may
not be functioning correctly, or
may not be adjusted correctly.
See above or call for service. If
the burner will not match light,
and the gas supply has been
confirmed, check the burner for
blockages according to the pro-
cedure on page 19.
YELLOW FLAME/GAS SMELL
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE
THE GRILL
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL
BURNERS. Perform a leak test,
check for blockages and check
the air shutter adjustment
according to page 19.
NOTE: If the grill is operating in
a dusty area or if heavy grease
is present, some orange tips on
the burner flame are normal.

LOW/INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Ensure that adequate preheat
time has elapsed. Brass burners
should preheat for at least 15
minutes with the hood closed;
ProSear burners should preheat
for at least 3 minutes.
If adequate preheat time was
allowed, check the gas supply
for a damaged and/or kinked
supply line. Replace if necessary.
On LP units, a mostly empty tank
may not have sufficient pres-
sure to run the grill at high heat.
Replace with a full tank. Make
sure that the regulator/hose
assembly being used is the unit
supplied with the grill. On natu-
ral gas units, ensure that the
supply line is at least 3/4" inside
diameter or 1" outside diameter.
Check the Natural Gas supply
pressure to ensure at least 7"
W.C. and 4" W.C. pressure under
full load (all burners on.) For LP,
11" W.C. supply (not to exceed
14") with 11" under full load.
If gas supply is adequate, check
burners for blockages and check
flame characteristics according
to the procedure on page 19
and clean or adjust air shutter if
IS OPERATING,
needed. Check also that there is
no pressure being applied to the
regulator attached to the back
of the grill. This regulator con-
tains a flexible diaphragm and
should not be allowed to touch
the grill body or surroundings.
Check to make sure that the
burners and the drip tray are
clean and free from obstruc-
tions. Clean if necessary. NOTE:
No part of the grill should ever
be lined with aluminum foil as
it will interfere with airflow and
can cause a low heat condition.
BURNER BLOWS OUT
First determine if the problem
is being caused by location.
If location is subject to high
winds, reposition grill to provide
some protection. Check the gas
supply and flame characteris-
tic according to the procedure
under Low/Insufficient Heat.
Check to ensure that the burners
are correctly positioned in the
grill according to the procedure
on page 19. Correctly installed
burners should be seated firmly
with no side-to-side movement.
ROTISSERIE WON'T LIGHT
Follow the same procedure as
described above for the grill
burners to diagnose problems
with the Rotisserie IR burner. The
IR burner flame may be hard to
see in bright sunny conditions.
LIGHTS WON'T OPERATE
Ensure that the grill has AC
power by removing the D cell
battery according to the instruc-
tions on page 7, and then press-
ing a burner control knob to test
the spark igniter. If the ignit-
ers don't function, no AC power
is connected. If the igniters do
function, replace the bulb.
