CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
GRILL WON’T LIGHT
First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning
on the lights, then:
Check The Igniters
Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does not
spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a
control knob is pushed in.
• Ensure that all burner controls are set to OFF.
• Remove the cooking grates and briquette trays.
• Watch an igniter as you push in and hold the
corresponding control knob. You will need either a small
mirror or shiny metal object to see the igniter under its
cover.
(Be sure you push in the correct control knob and keep
the knob in the “OFF” position).
• Check the remaining igniters. If igniters don’t glow,
proceed with troubleshooting or match-light the burner.
Check The Burners
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the
burners by attempting to match light a burner.
BE CAREFUL! IF THE BURNER FAILS TO IGNITE, WAIT
5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO IGNITE OTHER
BURNERS! (See INDEX: “Match Lighting” for further
details.)
If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check fuel connections for
leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is of
adequate pressure. (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for
further details.)
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may
not be functioning correctly. Call for service.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are
getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the
burner and check it for blockages.
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF
THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
• Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure”
for further details.)
• Check for blockages (See INDEX: “Clean the Ceramic
Burner” for further details.)
YELLOW FLAMES
A yellow flame on the main burners indicates a lack of air.
But, if the air around the grill is dusty or if heavy grease is
present, some orange tips on the burner flame are normal.
Inspect for cracks in the burners where air may be entering.
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
No part of the grill should ever be lined with aluminum foil.
Doing so will interfere with airflow and can cause a low heat
condition.
Ensure that you’ve preheated the main burners for at least
10 to 15 minutes with the hood closed and the Trident ™
burner for 3 minutes.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that
is out of level will cause erratic bur ner combustion and
inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level
should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and
side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists:
• Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
• Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
REPLACE any damaged supply lines.
• Check the Regulator
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one
designed for and supplied with your Lynx grill and that it
is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See
INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.)
The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if
your grill is set-up for a portable LP Gas Cylinder. Ensure
the LP hose is not behind the firebox.
Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to
the regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regulator
contains a flexible diaphragm and should not be allowed to
touch the grill body or its surroundings.
• Check for Obstructions
Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and free
from obstructions.
LP (Propane) units:
• Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost-empty cylinders may not have sufficient pressure
to run the burners at high heat.
• Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
• Flow Limiting Device
Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP
cylinder’s flow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the flow control:
• Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder
valve.
• Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder
valve.
• Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.
Bulk LP cylinder users:
Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator
supplied by Lynx and converted to LP gas. Also ensure that
you do not have more than one regulator in line.
Natural Gas units:
• Supply Line
Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter
or 1” outside diameter.
• Check line pressure
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5” W.C. and
manifold pressure not less than 4” W.C. under full load
(with all burners on.)
• Check burners for blockages.
• Check flame characteristics. (See INDEX: “Flame, Correct
Size” )
• Clean or adjust air shutter (See INDEX: “Air Shutter
Adjustment.”
WIND HITTING GRILL
Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing
into or across the hood gap from behind, can cause poor
performance and in some cases can cause the control panel
and knobs to get dangerously hot.
Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of
hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and
avoid grilling in windy conditions (see page 23).
