Problem:
Possible Causes and Solutions:
Grill will not light when the igniter
button is pushed.
• Is your gas supply turned on?
• If this is an L.P. grill, is there gas in your tank? Check your gas level.
• Is one of your burners turned on? Allow up to 5 seconds of gas flow
to ignite.
• Is your igniter working?
- You should hear a snapping sound when you press the igniter.
- If you hear a snapping sound, can you see a spark at the
electrodes?
Note: You will need to remove your cooking grates and flavorizers
to see the electrodes. The electrodes should have a 1/8” to ¼” gap
between the electrode and contact point.
• Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.
• Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes.
• If the igniter is not working, can you light the grill with a lighter?
Flare-ups • Check flavorizers and cooking grates for excess food or grease
build-up.
• Ensure grill is not placed directly in the path of wind.
Be sure drip tray is clean (do not use aluminum foil on drip tray.)
Note: Some flare-ups may be inevitable if cooking greasy foods.
Yellow Flames
• Check the burner inlet for obstructions, particularly at air inlets for
each burner.
• Grill may be in an area that is too windy.
Flame blows out on low setting or
has uneven heat distribution.
• Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
• Cold grill needs to be preheated for 5 minutes on high setting.
• Venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over orifices.
• Cold and windy weather will require you to move grill away from
the wind.
• Lack of fuel. Check to see cylinder valve is open and cylinder has
fuel.
Low heat with the knob on “HIGH”
•
Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked.
• Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.
• Check your gas supply and gas pressure.
• If it is only one burner that appears low, make sure the orifice or
burner is clean.
Grill is Too Hot
• Excess grease build-up causing grease fires.
• Damaged or faulty regulator.
Replace with factory authorized parts.
• Cook on a lower temperature setting.
Flame behind control panel or
control knob area.
IMMEDIATELY shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.
• Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
• Gas is leaking from a faulty connection. Tighten connections with
